"Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake." ! Anonymous

That used to be me... but I am now committing to losing it... no longer can the thin person be sedated... in fact, once she arrives she might be a force to be reckoned with after years in the pantry!

It is offensive to me that many people think overweight people do nothing but eat one goodie and another... I literally have nothing to eat in my refrigerator except eggs. I don't have cupboards full of bon bons... I don't order jumbo pizzas (or any for that matter) and eat them by myself. I don't hoard cookies. I don't eat breakfast, and often don't eat dinner... yet my thin friends eat constantly.

This started out to be my journal to record my journey on Medi Weight Loss Clinic's program - I lost 50 pounds on that program in 4 months... it all came back rapidly when I tried to eat "normal" - as in eating fruits and more carbs...the Dr told me it would but I thought I had it figured out. He told me I probably couldn't go over 1,400 calories a day... surely not! He was right.

Now I'm doing it all over again......without joining Medi Weight Loss - I know what to do without spending over $100 a week.

Leptin: An important hormone that helps controls hunger and also tells your body when to burn off body fat!

Just for the record, Medi Weightloss Clinic does NOT allow you to you bacon on this diet... however,  I can't stand the turkey sausage they suggested and it has twice the calories of one piece of bacon so.......... I'm eating the bacon instead and lost more weight last week than I had in a regular week. I figure this is a marathon, not a sprint,  and enjoying what you eat is a large part of sticking with the low carb lifestyle.

I hate the idea of eating sausage that is formed by grinding up turkey parts and extruding it into sausage... that is odd tasting. No turkey bacon for me.... I want the real stuff, not turkey made to look like bacon.  After all, we're only talking about THIRTY FIVE CALORIES!


When we eat fat, an  important hormone, Leptin, is released. It helps us to burn our own fat . Below is a link to website that explains this very well.
