OFFICIAL BEFORE PICTURES

Monday, August 08, 2011



SO.... I haven't taken any body pics in a long while. I decided to take some bathroom pics at work to get me in the groove. These are my before front and side pictures and I'm so done looking at myself like this.
So.... I went grocery shopping tonight. I literally stayed within the perimeter and it was pretty pricey but it's cheaper than surgery, cheaper than diet pills, cheaper than shopping for the Atkins diet or the cabbage diet, and certainly cheaper than nutrisystem meals. No more fad diets, I'm done with that.

Grocery Cart:

Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, tomato, onion, bananas, sweet potato, fat free plain yogurt, green peppers, 2 1/2 dozen eggs, bagel things, fat free cream cheese, fat free cheese, salad, fat free dressing, and some other items I cannot think of. (and baby food for my midget of course lol)
No more garbage. Im done with that.

To keep me accountable- I'll be taking a photo food journal.... I saw this on a few of my sparkfriends' pages so I decided to adopt the habit- get ready to see a LOT more of me and my blogs.
: P


These are my declarations:

I WILL see results
I WILL lose 1-3 lbs a week until I hit my plateau (and then I'll crank it up a notch)
I WILL exercise 3-4 times a week
I WILL see food as fuel and not as comfort
I WILL provide a better example for my daughter
I WILL lose 100 lbs
I WILL make DGOTD (...one day...)
I WILL have one of cliche pics of me and a friend both fitting into my size 24 jeans

YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I AM DONE BEING THE FAT GIRL

    emoticon emoticon This is for that BRAVE step of posting those first pictures. I remember being terrified before I posted my first "before" photos. Now I'm really glad I did because I already have the next set of photos showing real progress and am just about to take some new ones.

The great thing is, you KNOW these are going to be your Before photos. There WILL be after photos and they will be terrific! You'll be there in no time! Way to GO!

    You are off to a great start! Keep it up and don't give up everything at once, try cutting one thing out a week if it starts to feel like you are having binge moments! As Faith In Me stated, have the regular cheese and stuff it tastes better and you will learn to use less when putting those items on your plate. I use salsa for salad dressing, no fat at all and very flavorful! Good luck and don't stop bloggin!

    I have one more thing to say, I saw a nutritionist and was told to stay away from fat free foods and the foods that are marketed as diet or "health" food. The reason is because they tend to have other ingredients that make them worse than their full fat counterparts, and fats in things like cheese, are good fats as long as you are not overduing it. Not only that, you will be more satisfied with a regular dressing than a fat free one, which makes it less likely for you to go searching for something to satisfy your hunger monster after you've already eaten. This is the advice the nutritionist gave me. :)

    I think this is great. My mom was just telling me to do before pictures and post them for the world to see, but I am so not sure if I want to do that.. but I probably will anyway.

It is so much more expensive to shop and eat healthy, but in the long run, it will be worth it and our habits and eating behaviors will have changed and that makes it less likely for us to gain the weight back.

This is inpirational. Keep focused. I love that one of your goals is to make a better example for your daughter, that made me smile.
