100

"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.

Week One - Done




When I was on the Medi diet I was so excited about it... about the results, couldn't wait to weigh in etc.  This time I am not doing the weekly weigh in.... if it doesn't seem to match my "degree of sacrifice", I am disappointed.  I am going by my clothes. I haven't had jeans on in a year.. that will be my first big milestone.

Week one is done... had to have a work related meal at Olive Garden and I had the soup and salad, with a bread stick.  I am not going to be so strict as to deny everything... I consider meals like that a treat and hopefully it will not make me so carb craving.

My pants are loser and I have more energy... and am settling into the fact that this has to be a life change, not a DIET.... so, if it is a little slower, so be it.
