well today I am putting out a there something I have tried to keep on the down low.(I am not sure I am cool enough to use that phrase) any way, I have made a lifestyle change that is big. Easter weekend 2010 I decided it was time to change my body. I went on a diet, I was heavy enough to something drastic, but surgery was not for me. I talked to my husband and we talked about making family changes. We cut out a junk food from the house (throw it all away) and made a calorie plan. We eat 1500 calories a day, plus exercise. AHHH! was my first reaction to the word exercise and some days it still is :) I am learning to move more and have more energy to do so.
BALANCE is my new life style. Finding good food with low calories and when I need something "oohey and gooey" I can eat it if I make a sacrifice...extra exercise or more carrots for dinner.
I am out of plus sizes and waiting for the day people can tell I have lost 25 lbs. When you are heavy as I was (or am) people can't tell your weight lose as well as thinner people.
When someone says something it will be a day to celebrate until then celebrating my own victories
Good for you Jennie! The weight crept up on me over the years of having children & didn't hit me until I saw a picture of myself at the beach on a family vacation & I decided to do something. I lost 20 lb over the next few months...counting calories & running. I was surprised by how much more energy I had after losing the extra weight. It's always a battle to keep it from coming back...seems like working regular exercise into your life is the biggest help. I've never commented on a blog so I hope I did this right. :) Sue George
