I should first give you a history of the past year. April 1st 2009 I tipped the scales at 328pounds. I decided to make a change. Starting small with eating less and "attempting" to walk around the block I slowly but surely became healthy. I was down to 239 and very fit my husband and I went to Jamaica for Christmas. A week at an all-inclusive resort and New Years/parties here we are February16th eating like crazy and not one stop to the gym since Jamaica. Every morning I say this is the day! I threw away all my clothes as I lost the weight so I am doing everything thing I can to squeeze into pants that 2 months ago were loose. So as I sit on the couch watching Dr. Oz I have 2 thoughts. Richard Simmons does not cheat and his answer was this....."A slice turns into a slab and a slab turns into a SLOB!"
I take a moment and really pause.....I use to be a 2 pack a day smoker, which I miss every day-FYI. My friends will occasionally smoke and they ask me if I miss it? My coined phrase has always been "I am a puff away from a pack a day". Last night I realized I am not only a puff away from a pack a day but I am also a slice away from a slob.
This morning my friend and I were chatting about how I have been so unmotivated about the gym and my diet despite the fact that my pants barely fit. She said to me, "Remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels". The thing about that statement that I don't understand is if you have never been thin-You don't know what it feels like!!!
So today I have decided to rejoice the great things about 2009. I I lost 89 pounds!!! Yes I gained some back-The official weigh in tomorrow morning-but I am still down.
I have decided to start a blog and talk about how I feel instead of eating my words in chocolate!
