Changing the girl in the mirror...

[GirlInTheMirror]

So, I finaly decided that it was time to change. Time to change the girl in the mirror. The one I have to see everytime I look in the mirror. Yeah, her.
My name's Bailey, and I'm 17 years old. I've always been overweight, even as a newborn. I was always 'the big girl' the one the classmates teased and made fun of. It took a toll over the years and at the end of elementary school I decided that I wanted to change. I dropped 55 lbs within 6 months and was too skinny. I ate poorly; as in I hardly ate.
Finaly, someone gave me some wise words that I'll forever hold close.
"Have enough love for yourself to take care of yourself; properly. Your beautiful on the inside and out!"
I thought about what was happening in my life. I was eating way less than I should have been and I didn't even realise it. I became too thin without any recognition from myself.
Want to know the sad thing? Ok... well I look back at my jeans from then and think how big the waist is on them. I almost cried when I thought that. Why do I have to judge myself so negatively? I should love and cherish my life!
So, with that off my chest, I am going to get healthy! Not drop 55 lbs and get 'too thin'. I'm going to tone my muscles and become a healthy weight.
This is my journey to change the girl in the mirror...

So, I'm not going to even post what I ate today. It's all junk!
Though, tomorrow does look like a brighter day with a new weight loss oppurtunity.
I was doing a few google searches and came across the 'Special K Diet'. It sounds pretty good.

Special K Diet:
Breakfast:One bowl of Special K (29 g) and about 5 oz. Skim milk.
Lunch: Same as breakfast.
Dinner: Normal, well balanced meal.

Snacks: Eat vegetable and fruits. Also Special K bars.

I did make a few changes to the Special K Diet Plan. If you wish to read the original plan you can just do a search and you'll get a bunch of links.
I'm looking forward to trying it. If anyone has tried it or is trying it please post a little response!
I'll keep you all updated!

there actually athread here on that diet ad it's strongly NOT recommended -the diet is entirely too low in calories for it to be effective long term... yes you will lose weight on it but it's doubtful that it will stay off..

Check ou the thread in nutrtion on the easiest nutrition... for some alternatives...

we really encourage people to be healthy and have long term success

Ok, thank you for your advice Maleficent.
I do agree that it sounds low in callories. I am going to change the diet plan a little to make sure that I get enough callories each day.
Beleive me, I wish to lose weight the healthy way this time. I'm not going to risk my health again.
I'm going to try the diet for a few days and if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out.
