Tomorrow is the big day. I am starting the Diet and although this will be my millionth attempt or so, I am going to do it and succeed. I have my ipod with move music, I have my gym membership (although I am expecting glares, looks, and disgusting remarks), my boxing gloves (so bring on the glares, looks, and remarks; and let me use you as a punching bag). Not everyone was born perfect and boring like you!! However, I have a different approach this time. I am going to war against food; that's right my addiction and going to win. So back off yummy food and hello not so tasty but oh so filling. I am sure many of you have struggled with you weight for most or if your like me your entire life. I can't remember the last time I was happy with the way clothes looked on me. I have a different outlook on this diet so maybe I will not sabotage myself in quitting right off the bat. Don't get me wrong when I have the right mind set I can loose the weight in fact; I was at one point so amazed at how much I lost that I freaked out, stressed and gained it back plus another 40 lbs. So I can do it!! At this point my mindset is not like it was before, I am doing it not to just look good in clothes and feel better but because I am tired of being overweight. I am tired at looking in the mirror and saying "this is as good as it gonna get", I want me back. I was there when I entered High School the first day I was a size 12 and felt great. I want that feeling again, I want to swim laps and enjoy it. I loved swimming laps having a song in my head and just swim until I got bored. Well when you have a good song in your head you really don't get bored fast so I guess that's why I was a distance swimmer in High School and College. I am ready and I have exactly what I need..... ME. I don't want to be a stick thin rail that if I turned sideways I would disappear. I want to be healthy no size or weight I want to reach. That's all.
So, my fellow dieters what do you say lets start the DIET WAR!!
Hi babe, first off GO YOU!! You can do it, WE can do it!! I've put on so much weight after having my back to back pregnancies and with becoming depressed because at one my marriage was in the crapper. So, you know, it's life. I'm also starting a diet (or lifestyle change if you will). So lets do this thing together, what do you say? We can keep eachother informed on our ups and downs- sucesses and struggles. :)
