Starting over, again

Wow! This is very, very difficulty. I think the added stress from work contributes to my over-eating. I have to learn to break that habit but really do not know how. I read articles and everything but nothing has triggered the response to lose this weight for a longer life. Damn, I did not think it would be this hard......I am on DAY 1, AGAIN......DOING THE 4-DAY DIET......MY WEIGH IN AS OF THIS MORNING WAS 185.5.......I HAVE 45 POUNDS TO LOSE AND THIS IS GOING TO BE HARDER THAN I THOUGHT. I did go to the gym on my lunch break for 25 minutes and I will go again this evening to an aerobics class. I figured if I could not control the eating I would incorporate more exercising into this journey. I am so frustrated with this and hopefully, I will find a way to lose this damn baby weight as I like to call it.....although my youngest is now 5 years old and headed to Kindergarten this fall. What can I do about this weight? Any suggestions?

Day 7

Good Monday Morning.....just wanted to give some feedback on my progress.....not doing so well. Weighed in today at 184 which mean I gained. I did not stick to the 4-day diet plan and after the first module I just blew it. I am restarting again for the umpteenth time but this time I am FULLY committed. I am again starting on the Induction Module which includes NO SODAS, NO JUNK FOOD, NO MEAT......ONLY FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, A SALAD WITH NO EGGS, BACON BITS, OR MEAT AND BROWN RICE. I will let you all know tomorrow how I did. Talk to you tomorrow God willing! Have a good one.

3rd day

This is the 3rd day of the 4 day diet and I am not doing good at all. I just don't have that self discipline and I used to be sooooooooo good at it, especially, during those college days. Hopefully, tomorrow will be much better. Today I had cheeseburger and french fries with mustard, salt and ketchup......not good at all. I'm sure I have gained because I gain when I look at food but I am not calling it a defeat. I will jump back on tomorrow, for sure. I was craving the hamburger and fries but not sure why, oh well, they're gone now. I have to regroup. For now, have a wonderful Wednesday!

Today is July 27th. First, I would like to offer my sympathies to my favorite Author's friends and family, E LYNN HARRIS . He passed away on Saturday and his work will be truly missed.

I am starting my new lifestyle change TODAY after really enjoying my 25th year class reunion. I had a wonderful weekend and the reunion could not have been better. I did wake up to weigh myself and found that I had actually lost weight.

My height is 5'3". I weigh 179 pounds. I am going to do the 4 day diet by Dr. Ian Smith. Today is the first day of the Induction module. The way this works for those of you not familiar with this diet, Dr. Ian divide the modules up into 7 modules and you stay on each module 4 days at a time, longer if you're brave especially while doing the Induction Module which is the hardest one for me.

Well, it is now 1:23pm CST and so far so good. My plan is to blog everyday on how I am feeling. I did eat a bag of Doritos that I could have passed up but I wanted something crunchy but anyway, I packed my lunch for work and have managed thus far to stay out of my co-workers candy dish. I believe that much of my weight can be attributed to junk food, especially sweets and therefore I am really go to work hard to avoid that. I will try to write in my blog daily but if I miss a day, I will just add that to the next time I blog. Also, I will give my weight every 4 days when I change modules just to give a status of how I am doing. Happy Monday everyone.

Day 2 of my class reunion

Hello All,

The countdown is on. I am on day 2 of my class reunion and do not want to weigh in. I must say that I really have not eaten a great deal, but I am sure I have gained as I am not watching what I am consuming. As I said in my previous blog, I will post me weight, etc. on Monday, July 27th. I am getting ready for the class reunion formal dinner tonight so I will say goodbye for now. Have a great weekend and I will write on Monday.

Not started yet but soon - July 27th

Okay, hello everyone. I am starting this blog about my weight loss journey. I have never been overweight but now, due to my overeating lifestyle and the weight that I still possess after birthing my two beautiful girls, I am now in the overweight club. It really sucks but it is what it is. Let me say this, anyone who says that they are OK with being overweight, fat, PHAT, big girl beauty or whatever it is that they say these days, more power to you. I hate it, hate it, and let me say again, I hate it. It is not pretty, for me, and I am pretty to me and would like to live longer so the WEIGHT HAS TO GO! I will be starting my journey on July 27, 2009, and on that day I will post my height and weight and tell anyone who reads this blog what diet/lifestyle change I am doing. I will give you a day by day account of how I am doing and how I am feeling. Please, wish me good luck. I am doing this so that I can live longer for me and my family.
