First Day Complete!

Well, I made it though my first day of Slim 4 Life. It hasn't been too easy, but I did it and I'm happy with myself. Got up this morning and ate my 2 hard boiled eggs with Morton's Lite salt. (I added a little Garlic Powder for taste). I had to be at my diet class at 10:00 to learn the diet. Pretty easy to understand. I won't be starving, but you don't get the good things to eat I am accustomed too:) Like Mexican and Italian ect. After my class I went right to King Soopers and got a Roasted Chicken Breast. I really don't like white meat, but the dietitian told me to get used to eating the white meat, because the dark has too much fat! Then I drank the Metabolizer Booster which is supposed to help jump kick me losing weight. Off to Brighton to my dentist for the new crown I received. Stopped by Costco to buy some diet supplies, like Roast Chicken, green veggies, steak ect. Got home from Costco and ate another chicken breast with raw string beans and 1/2 orange. For dinner I made steak and I had a salad with lettuce, celery, cucumber, green onions and a little Fat Free Ranch Dressing. For 3 days I will only be eating meat, baked, broiled, grilled with Morton's Lite Salt and Mrs. Dash (except pork), 1/2 orange twice a day, 2 eggs for breakfast and raw green veggies. (no pea's allowed)
The worst part of today was not chewing my Chiclets! I am totally addicted to them. It's hard to concentrate without them. Bob said to try chewing on plastic toothpicks, so tomorrow I will go buy some.....
Ps. Got measured this morning and mine are 42, 39, 40. For the first time in my life, my blood pressure was high at 130 over 90. Glad I decided to do something about this weight before it kills me. (Belinda is worried about me and glad I am finally doing this!)

The Beginning!

Well this is the last day of this fat person I am starting to hate! I have looked at Older Women who have big bellies and now I am one of them. The more I try and diet the more I gain! So I decided to go the extreme and do a online Journal of my struggles with trying to stay on a diet. After being around my Cousin Bob for the past few days and seeing how positive he is on his diet, I took a major step and went and joined Slim 4 life this morning. (That's how he is succeeding with his weight loss, to which he looks great even though I didn't realize he was as heavy as he was!) It is a big step and price tag to join! To loss the 33 and 1/2 pounds I need to lose, it will cost me about $1600. ($600 for the program and the rest for supplements and snacks) for the 3 months weight loss program, 6 weeks stabilizer program and about 7 months of maintaince. So, to say in mildly, I am sick over not having better Will power to do it on my own!!! I have actually gained over 10 pounds this past month worrying about losing weight, so it is time to do something about it. The good thing is I am not at my all time high weight of 183! (Another month of doing nothing about it, and I would be there!)
