Lifetime Fat Loss

Sorry folks that it took awhile for me to post again. I have been so busy getting prepared and starting this diet. I am prepared to share my journey with everyone. And believe me I am on Day 3 and its already interesting. So the amazing program I am doing is called Lifetime Fat Loss. If you are interested in learning more their website is http://lifetimefatlosscenters.com/ and they have an awesome video that gives you a little information. If you decide you are interested in joining me with this journey. Dr. Joe at Rejuvenate Mind Body Wellness Center is amazing!

What made me decide on this diet, with this company was the fact, I needed something that would change not only how I eat now but forever. Something that was going to retrain my way of thinking and help my body work for me. So Friday was my big meeting day, I paid for my year of diet fun, did my measurements, and before and after pictures. Which here is what those look like?

So any guesses on what this big beautiful woman weighs? Well shockingly I weigh a whole lot more, than I even think I look. I come in at a sweet(i am full of sugar) 298.4. Yes it is a lot of extra weight, for someone my size. I should really only weigh around 144lbs. Now for someone like me who hasn't weight 144lbs since probably middle school, it seems very unattainable. But my overall goal is to get a 150lbs off my frame. So my first goal is 20lbs and seems very doable.

So Saturday was day 1 and by far my favorite day of the program, I can't go into a lot of detail, about certain steps of the diet.. But I got to eat a lot of yummy foods. Lets just say we had On the Border and Ice Cream. I am already dreading the lack of yummy Mexican in my diet the next 6 weeks. Now on Day 2, not as much fun. I am hungry as I sit here typing this, thinking on how much I miss being able to eat anything I want when I want. Sigh.. stupid large tummy and lack of self control. But so far I have stuck to it, I am trying my hardest to make each of these days count.

Day 3 hasn't been the hardest due to food, but the hardest due to loss. Today is the 2 year anniversary of my amazing Daddy's passing. My daddy was one of my strongest supporters and always worried about me and my weight. So it's only fitting that this day be today. It has been so hard not to try and eat my sadness, but I am happy to say I have stayed strong today. I miss him more than anything but I am doing this also for him. I know he watched over me and would be so excited that this is happening.

I am not doing this alone. I have an amazing husband and supporter with me all the way, my sweet kiddo who really at 8 has no clue what is going on, but it always ready to give me hugs when I need them, My mom and Sister who have stood by me thru many of my struggles, You all, and the most important of them all GOD. I know that I can't do this without him. In moments that I struggle and think those Cheetos look so good I remember Philippians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Even eat I am sure that nasty celery in the fridge.

Till next time: Faith, Trust, Pixie Dust, and Me!
