Hello all, here is my diary, I am new here as of today. I posted in newcomers so please read up on me over there! I posted on discussion boards in the past and love them! In fact my last two children were born while I was with a d.b. I had a lot of friends and it followed your pregnancy through the end! It was a lot of fun and great to be able to talk to others going through the same things. Anyways, I have never actually done a diary before though online. Im guessing I just say what is going on or how I feel?
Today I feel so so, kinda scared but happy to be on the right track. In my mind Im thinking, geez its only 25 pounds, that s nothing, but it feels like a huge mountain to climb, because I KNOW what it feels like to want to eat, and not need to! I started yesterday officially on my slimfast. I have done slimfast in the past, not really for weight loss, but as a way of maintaining, because I enjoy it, I like the way it tastes. I dont have any bad habits to break like drinking or smoking that hurt weight loss, but I just want to eat all the time, whether I am hungry or not. I was taking hormones after I had a total hysterectomy in Jan last year, but they REALLY made me want to eat. I felt like I woke up starving and went to bed starving. So I quit taking them altogether. I dont feel the greatest without them as I feel tired all the time, but hopefully my body will adjust. My exercise level is not very high. I am a very fast moving person anyways, I walk fast, talk fast, you name it. But as far as actual "lets do a exercise video" I DONT. But I am going to try! My main addiction is SWEET TEA. I have tried splenda and it stinks! But I love sweet tea. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break a habit like that? Its caffiene free so its not bad as far as that goes, but I like it! I normally am a no water drinker, except for whats in my tea, does that count?? But I bought these cute little water bottles called aquapods, they seem really small, and I can drink one really quick, but its 11 ounces so I think thats great, better than eight right? But I dont feel like its a huge whopping bottle of water that Hate that I cant make myself drink! Right now I am shooting for four of those a day, to start with. Today I had slimfast, so far, and am fixing to eat chicken broccoli stir fry

I too am a sweet tea addict. But I haven't had anything but water (and a few choice beers) for the last week or so.
