This is me!

My photo
I am a 31 year old mother of 3 kids who has struggled with my weight my entire life. I was not the skinny cheerleader in highschool.. I was the plump Art Club girl who everyone pretty much just ignored. I have decided that since 1 of my sons is a type 1 diabetic that I will get my own health into full check for all of my kids' and my husband's sake. I want to be here for them for the rest of their lives! Or as long as God allows me to be! :) Here you will find my trials and tribulations of my everyday struggle with my weight and the emotions it brings on. I hope you will find great inspirations in what works for me and what doesn't work for me and mold it into your own life journey!

I need a drink..

Im sure everyone knows that dieting is not only a way to watch what you eat.. but it's a way of life! It takes a toll on your mental health as well.. so much has been going on in my world including trying to keep up the motivation to continue on my weight loss journey, that I've come to the conclusion that "I need a drink!" :) I'm an avid red wine drinker, so I may just have to pour me a nice tall glass! Beats the alternative of going back on the nightly slow down my brain meds right?! I'm absolutely planning on getting me some more of the actual hormone HCG drops soon! My birthday is in June so that would be an awesome time frame for my goal weight of 135! It'd take me 1 month to lose my final weight to get there.. so as long as I get up enough money to buy the actual hormone drops before May 8th, that'd give me exactly 1 month til June 8th.. (The big 3-0!) for me! I wanted to add a before and after picture of me from my first round in September of the drops I purchased from www.sothinsofast.com. The difference is 26 lbs in this picture! Happy dieting everyone!! :)

Holidays.. O_o !!!

Ahh the Holidays.. joyous Holidays.. Fullfilling holidays.. and when i say fullfilling. I mean Belly filling holidays! :p My weakness... Desserts! And they tend to be in overabundance during the months of November and December. I believe I have fell off the wagon for these couple of months but I'm ready to saddle back up and take on the cravings! I look at alot in life with the understanding that the mind is a powerful thing. You can do whatever you put your mind to. I apply this aspect to not only my attitude toward life, love towards my husband, understanding towards frustrations, inspiration for my creativity, encouragement for my kids creativity and book smarts, but also to my weight loss. I know if I want to lose 22 lbs, I can do it when I put my mind to it! I dont consider myself or anyone else weak for looking for help! We are better people beause we look for more help from others. We are putting our mind energy towards what we want and at the same time helping others even when we think we're just helping ourselfs. I hear there has been some negative press on HCG, but it wasn't that long ago that the famed Dr. Oz says it is looking prosperous. I have a huge issue with our Local News.. I don't know if anyone else notices this, but our news here in Ohio pushes their opinions on you. I refuse to watch the news because of this. If I wanted to know what you thought about the HCG diet I'd ask you. If I wanted to know what you thought about banks I'd ask you. The give uneducated opinions to people because a lot of people are going to be swayed to decisions based on these opinions. I personally work at a bank and I can guarantee you at my branch we do not charge a customer 1 fee that they are not notified about months ahead. Same goes with the HCG diet.. I used my powerful brain and before I decided to start the diet Googled it and asked 100 questions. I made my decision and so will you. I don't need the news to tell me what I either already know or inaccurate information to try to sway my own opinion. Anyway if you reading this I applaude you for taking control of you own life and not just sitting there waiting for it to "fall in your lap" .. pun intended .. ;)
