Back on the wagon......AGAIN!

Well here we are again... back to square one. I feel like I am always ending up back here. I can never commit to something and follow through. I ALWAYS fail! Not anymore. I am back on track and more willful then ever! I plan to see my weight loss journey through to the end. I realized how many excuses I had for myself. Literally TONS! I am trying to change my mindset to think more positively about my goals, be a more positive person, Strive to be the best person I can be. It's hard.. I am not gonna lie. I find myself feeding off of other negative people in my life and it just brings me down. I know I am worth the effort. I owe it to myself, to my husband and my future babies :)

My last attempt at "Dieting" was doing the Atkins... FAIL! I love my carbs. I am a true carboholic! Bread, potatoes, pasta, Rice (thanks to my Hawaiians) so attempting that again is just crazy. I've had success on Weight watchers in the past, so I am going to venture that way once more. I am excited as I have a few works ladies joining me. I am hoping that having someone else go through this with me I will have a better shot at success (fingers crossed)

So this is it... starting weight watchers tomorrow and the Gym tonight. Wish me luck.

A few weeks in and I am already seeing a change

I started Atkins a few weeks ago and WOW, what an improvement it has made. Its amazing how much energy I have and how I dont constantly need to eat to satisfy myself. I am down 26 pounds and dropped 2 pant sizes. This is so crazy! I can do this.... I know I can. I have never felt so confident about any diets I have been on.

I'm not gonna lie and say its been an easy start.. It's so hard. Temptations are facing me every minute of the day. I miss my carbs, but I know this is going to be a great life changing experiance! I am sure I will have my moments of weekness but its up to me to get thru them and not let them set me back.

The gym is a whole different story.... I have to make myself go. For me the reason is I just dont like to work out in front of people. I feel so out of place in a gym full of fit people. But the way I see it is, that could be me soon. I try to push myself each day I go to the gym, either by doing an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill or trying a new exercise. But I know this exercise stuff will get easier as the weight continues to melt off of me.

I am so excited to be under 300 lbs! Yea that's right.. I was over 300lbs for prolly the last 5-7 years. I have exactly 8 weeks till we go to Hawaii... I dont wanna be that Fat chick who has to ask for a seat belt extention on the plane. I want to be able to sit down and buckle up and be able to put my tray down with out my stomach devouring it.

Tommorw is my weigh in... I am hoping to see another dramatic decline on the scale, but if not its ok because I can see the changes on my body. I just need to keep going and going and going.

I am so excited about my new journey and I hope this inspires others to get up and get moving, eat healthier and be better!
