Lately I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to lose weight. I know I've had baby fever for awhile, and while we aren't preventing, we aren't trying either. However, both Matt and I agreed for us to wait at least one year and for both of us to get more healthy.
We met one criteria lol. We reached the one year mark! (YAY! Happy Anniversary to us!) Unfortuantely, I haven't lost weight to get healthier. I would start trying and then not see results fast enough and give up. I would get depressed and just eat whatever I wanted. I would eat when I wasn't hungry, and when I was hungry, I stuffed myself.
Lately, I read about The South Beach Diet. There are a LOT of great reviews from a HUGE amount of people all over who have has successful stories from this diet. Actually, it's not really a diet, but more of a lifestyle change. The book teaches you how to eat much healthier and what kinds of food to eat. I as reading different reviews about it today, and I put the book on my wishlist on Amazon until I get paid. I also put The South Beach Diet Cookbook on my wishlist. I am SO excited to do this. I feel upbeat and like this really will work. I have stopped gaining weight, so I think it will be easier as well. I wont be 'fighting' against myself. I put myself in such a good mood today that I felt like a different person. I did get my haircut over the weekend, so I think that helped with my self image of feeling like a better person, internally.
Today, it seemed like everyone was posting baby pictures from their Easter weekend. Yes, I've always said "I want a baby" or "I want to be a mom so badly"... Today it tugged at my heart stronger than usual. I realize that my dream isn't going to happen unless I work for it, and work HARD for it. Yes, I lost weight before, but it just fell off. I worked a VERY physical job and was on a schedule from 6am until 8pm. Ate at the same time every day and didn't overeat. Now, with me working a desk job, I'm not very active. So with my learning a new lifestyle of eating habits, I believe I'll first start to feel more energetic and then start to want to work out after work. I feel with this new attitude of I CAN do this, that I'll get my dream sooner rather than later. And THAT made me SOO excited!!
So here's to trying a new lifestyle and getting skinny!! Wish me luck and pray for me please!
