A little less of me...

So those of you who have visited my "losing it" tab may have noticed that there's only one post, and no follow up from it.  I have every excuse {I've been so busy at work, Robb and I only get so much time together, we were on vacation, I had to clean the house} but no real reason for not getting in shape.  Now I have a HUGE {expensive} reason to... I want to walk down the aisle a year from now with no regrets.  I don't want to look at myself and think, "I wish I was thinner."  Okay, let's face it, I may always be saying that... but the point is I want to feel truly beautiful, and I want to be able to choose the dress of my dreams and not be limited by size.  So last week I bit the bullett and started dieting.  I wish I was the kind of person who controlls what she eats and loves to work out, but that's just not true.  I need a diet, a plan, a goal... something defined and easy to stick to... at least at the beginning.  Enter Slim Fast.  I've done SF before and I have to tell you, it works for me.  I have had a full week of being good... SF for breakfast and lunch with veggies, fruit, and lowfat yogurt for snacks.  I typically eat whatever I want for dinner within reason.  This way I don't feel too deprived.  Weekends {I think} will go either way.  If we are home I'll do SF and veggies, if we're out or have plans I'll be good.  I'm starting with this and then I'll add exercize to the plan once I've got the diet under control.

Today is weigh in day... I'll update this post with my weight before the end of the day!  {This is the first weigh-in... so just a starting number.}

Make it a great week everyone!

*believe always*

  2. The best reason to lose the weight is so that you will walk down the aisle feeling like your best self. :) Body image plays a huge role in self-esteem, which translates to confidence which is projected to others and shows an overall positive outlook that makes you beautiful.
