Well, I've had it. I can't stand that I can't fit in any of my clothes & I refuse to buy bigger clothes AGAIN.
So my sister and I made an appointment with a nutritionist and went to see "my new best friend" on 12/23. I know, it sounds crazy....but we actually told her we didn't want to start the new plan until 12/26...and she was ok with that.
Nancy, my nutritionist, had us fill out a questionaire and then she weighed us & met with us for about 1/2 hour. She is AWESOME!! I am sooo inspired to lose weight & be a healthier person. I am also ready to teach my children the proper way to eat. That is my #2 reason for going to see Nancy (of course #1 is to loose weight
).
OK, so I ate like a PIG the next few days. I know, I didn't need to - I felt bad enough...but that little voice in my head kept whispering...."it's the last time in a LONG time you're gonna eat bad food". So that voice convinced me to go at it....eat, eat, eat. And in a sick, twisted way...it actually helped me on Monday 12/26 to be good. I was sooooo disgusted with food, that I was DETERMINED to be the best client Nancy has ever had!!!
Today is actually day 3, and I'm doing well. I have no cravings, and I've even forced myself to eat some of the things that are on the "optional foods" list that I probably would not have eaten on any other day. For example...cantelope. DH, DD & DS LOVE it! I don't like it at all. But I ate 1/2 canteloupe yesterday. I forced it down (told DH it must be what people eating bugs on Fear Factor go through) and I was full. Mission accomplished.
I see Nancy again on Friday, 12/30 - day 5. She said at that meeting she will completely change what we can eat - and I look forward to finding out what that is!!
I meet with her weekly until I hit my goal & am on "maintenance" and then I'm not sure how it works...I may just see her as I need to. I don't know.
Ultimately, I want to lose 30 pounds. I don't know if that is possible, considering the last time I weighed 30 pounds less than I do today, I was probably 18 or 19 (and I'm 32 now
). But I'm gonna give it a shot.
If anything, I will be a healthier person, my family will be healthier, my kids will know that I practice what I preach, and I will be a more self-confident me.
Thanks for sticking with me so far...please feel free to check in & comment, chat, vent, whatever!!!
One last thing...I mentioned to DD6 last night about my plan to lose weight, and that I will have a lot more energy to play and have fun with her & DS4. Her response..."And you won't be as MEAN?"
I guess overweight mommy + lack of energy = MEAN mommy!!! I told her I couldn't make any promises, but if she listens and behaves, then I will be LESS mean!! Gotta love her honesty! 
Thanks!!!!
