Well I thought I would give this diary thing a try. My name is Brandy. I am a 31 year old female. I am married and a mom to 4 kids. And I am fat...Truth be said.
I have been struggling with my weight since I had my 1st child and its pretty much gone downhill after that. I have been procrastinating about dieting because I was safe in my own little world of food comfort. My husband never seemed to complain about my weight. But I had a wake up call when we went to a funeral recently of a good friend of my husband. He was only 51 and had a heart attack and was a big man. I was thinking that could be me if I do not do something about it! So thats when I finally made the decision to lose weight and be healthy, not so much for me but for my kids.
My starting weight was at it all time highes on July 6th when I first weighed in at a whopping 282. I felt sick at those numbers and it really depressed me. But I am happy to say that as of yesterday I was at 266. I lost 2 pounds from the past 2 days
I have changed my eating habits dramatically. No more pasta and a healthy choice of carbs.
For breakfast I normally eat a bowl of oatmeal and one piece of light wheat toast. Lunches normally consist of lean chicken or tuna in a salad with fat free italian dressing and a piece of fruit. Dinner fish or chicken...lean of course a small serving of vegetables and a light piece of bread. Normally at night if I have a sweet tooth I wil grab another apple. I also take a daily multivitamin. And I drink lots of water a minium of 96 oz a day. No more sodas for me. I took a chance and ate out a few weeks ago and I ate a sald which really made me feel sick to my stomach because of the amount of grease they put in it. So I defintely have adjusted to a no grease style. I walk and chase 4 kids around and lol I have sex with my DH.
I hope to lose a 100 pounds. I would like to get to 150-165. ANd my goal is by next summer. I want to wear a bikini! And I want to shop in the regular clothing sizes. I hate shopping in the plus size department. I dread shopping.
Since I have lost 16 pounds I am noticing a slight change in my pants. They are starting to feel loser on me and I am very excited about that! So we shall see how that goes.
