Beginning Again
Well, here I am, starting this path again. Hoping this time to get it right and to make it permanent! After loosing from a size 16 to a size 5 a few years ago and keeping it off for a few years, the weight slowly came back on and I am back where I started- not a good feeling!
Last time I used slim-fast, excessive exercise & strong diet pills to do the trick. Now I cannot get those diet pills (ephedra) and even though I have an elliptical machine sitting in my bedroom, I haven’t been on it in months. And now, after developing PCOS, the doctor wants me to use a low-carb diet to not only loose weight but to prevent or slow-down diabetes. Staying on low-carb is SO hard for me! I cook daily for the whole family and my Hubby is a meat & potaoes & bread type of guy! And he likes things from scratch- not store bought! But I know that it is best for me to follow the doctor’s advice. I just have to find a way to cook what they love and not taste it during cooking LOL!
And I have to find the modivation to get back on the elliptical machine! I’ll take it one day at a time and not be too hard on myself. I hope to get it right this time around ;o)
And THANKS APRIL for directing me to BuddySlim!
