Diet

Alright folks here we go again!!!! I went to the doctor the other day for my yearly checkup. They took my temperature, oxygen level, and then the moment that I dread... The SCALE!!!! I know at the beginning of this year I wrote how I was going to do this diet and lose a thousand pounds and how I was determined and it was actually going to happen. I failed, I failed miserably. I was doing really well I had lost ten pounds and felt so good about myself. Then life happened and somehow that got in the middle of things. So here I am standing on that terrible scale watching for that  horrible number. With no surprise I had gained my ten pounds back. I was not happy. Well sitting in the patient  room waiting for the doctor to come in I noticed a little sign on the wall that read  "Ask me how U can get healthier." So when the doctor came in I did. She proceeded to tell me that there were many resources available to those that needed that extra little push. That is what I need. I need that little extra push. I feel like I can do it, I want to do it, but I need that something extra. There is a nutritionist that works at the clinic one day a week. She sits down with you once a month and makes a diet and exercise plan just for you. And the best part about it is it's free. You don't even have to pay a dime.
        So it is official, I am going to start this diet tomorrow. I feel like I have the determination, will power, and now I have that little bit of extra help. I know that I have  promised myself this many times. But I have to do this for me. This is the one thing that I can control in my life. This is the one thing that I think will make me feel better about myself. Let the dieting begin!!!

  1. Yay! Good job and good luck! I too keep battling with "dieting." Since Drey lost his job almost 2 weeks ago we have no eaten out once. I cant believe how much healthier I feel. I finally have found an exercise routine I can stick with and actually started RUNNING last week. It is so hard but amazing to feel and see the results. Keep it up and I hope it works for you!!! Maybe I should look into something like that.

  2. Hooray for you - and you'll be glad to know that we are joining you in this pursuit...tomorrow. (After your Dad's Birthday Dinner!) I've been doing pretty good for the past 2 weeks (not great - but definitely better than the 10 treats I was having per day). And starting tomorrow, Scottie is joining me and we are planning meals together. I'll probably be quizzing you on your meal plans for some ideas...
    Good Luck to all of us!
