GO ME!
And now your thinking, “Boy has she really lost it.” And I’m just here to tell you I haven’t lot it yet, but I will.
And no, I’m not talking about my mind.
I am going on a diet. Actually I am already on said diet. I’ve been on it for seven days, and I’ve already lost six pounds.
And I admit, it is really hard!
I know diets are hard, and it takes a lot of will power to get through them, but all the fattening cravings you get. Know I know why people could never stick to it.
And I have to admit I have cheated.
I cheated today, I cheated last week, and I will probably cheat a little bit next week.
And although I am cheating, I’m still highly proud of myself. This is something I am going to stick through.
The diet I’m on is called “The 17 Day Diet” and it is in cycles of 17 days. And the first cycle is nothing but vegetables, fish, and chicken/turkey.
I can’t have beef, I can’t have calories, I can’t have carbs, and man do I miss it. But I want to loose the weight even more.
I could never do this alone. Thank God I have the best boyfriend ever. He doesn’t need to loose weight, he doesn’t need to torture himself with no carbs, but he is.
He is going through the same diet that I am, so that I have the strength to continue on this healthy lifestyle path.
He of course is allowed to cheat more than I am, but he helps me to make the healthy choice, and he cooks all these fancy recipes so that I can eat bland food in an exciting way.
He is just all around supportive, and it gives me that motivation to go on. To run just a little bit further, to wait just a little bit longer until I have another snack.
And I have to admit, I actually am happy. When I stepped on the scale today I had lost 4 pounds in one day.
I couldn’t have been more excited. It makes a person glow, that feeling that they are accomplishing something.
I know this diet isn’t forever, and that one day I will be able to finish the O’Henry pieces Kat got for Christmas.
Right now I’m happy with where I am. I miss fattening food, but I also know that when I step on that scale and I’ve lost my goal of 100 pounds, no amount of fattening food can take that ecstatic-ness away!
