The Diet

On January 2, 2008 I made a promise to myself that I
would start a diet and stick to it. I decided to go
with Weight Watchers because I have done it
before and been successful. I decided to not
spend the money on going to the meetings because I had all
the information that I needed and I seriously didn't
think that weighing in front of someone else was going
to be what gave me the strength to stick to it this time.
I was determined to make a change!!!
It is now March and I have lost 18 pounds.That is the total amount of all 3 of my kids when they were born.
So no more excuses of carrying around baby fat.
Feel free to Clap, cheer ,Hoop and Hollar, email me, call me, tell everyone you know!!!!!!!
I am sooooo proud of the will power that I have found. I have no idea where
it was hiding ( probably under one of the 4 backs that I USED to have) .
I feel better, eat better, like getting dressed more in the morning ( now I have
more choices of what to wear. They are old choices but I haven't seen them in a while),
and people are noticing and applauding my hard work and that feels great!!!!
I still enjoy food don't get me wrong. I just manage my menu better.
Like for example I have eating at the Olive Garden and I ate what I usually eat salad,
bread sticks and Fet. Alfredo. However during the day before I go there I eat light.
I try to keep my points down by eating free stuff. I don't starve. I just make smart choices
so I can enjoy my dinner. Here's another tip. Did you know you can get a salad with your
extra value meals at McDonald's. You can! And they have a really good Italian dressing that
is 0 points. A plain grilled chicken extra value meal is only 7 points. That is a treat!
Don't forget the Special K protein water. It will hold you over if you are hungry.
I like the strawberry one the best.
If you want any more info on the diet email me and I will be happy to share all my secrets.
I almost forgot. I haven't started exercising yet. So this 18 pounds was all about how I ate.
I do plan to start walking soon. REALLY!!!! I WILL!!!!
So to those of you struggling with getting into that swimsuit this summer it can be done!!!!
I have only been on this diet for 8 weeks and look what you can do if you stick your mind to it!!!!
12 weeks till school is out!!!
Good Luck!!!!
