Well, I am basically a serial dieter...a yo-yo-er....You name it, I've pobably tried it twice! Yet, I have managed to only gain! The hardest part for me, I think, is that I am a counselor. I can help people through their issues...and generally speaking, I have made good decisions throughout my life and I take charge of important asepects of my life...except for my weight....I have let it spiral out of control. Why can't I do this? Well, I actually think it's because I set myself up for failure. I don't approach weight loss the right way....I am ready to chage that. Usually, if the weight comes off too slowly for my liking, then I just quit...go back to the cheesecake...but, if I had just continued to loose weight, slowly...I wouldn't be having this issue now...So, I am trying approah things differently...usually, I am an all or nothing person...but I've decided to take baby steps. I know it won't cause fast results, but it will cause results! So, my delimma is that I went to the grocery store before I had my mind set to do this....oh, forgot to mention I want to eat mostly Vegan/Whole foods...ok...so...I bought all canned soups for lunch and protein shakes and bars for snacks....no dinner really lol...So, I think I will go ahead and eat those things, seeing that they are not "bad" foods...just not V/W...I am going to approach each week with a new challenge to myself since I want this to be a life style change, not a diet....so (starting first thing in the morning).....WEEK 1 CHALLENGES: Focus on adding, not taking away. Eat fruits or veggies with every meal. Drink 4 bottles of water daily.....So, that might not seem to difficult, but it is a good start for me. I live on convenience foods! Well...here goes nothing...
