Thank you all so much!
I really appreciate everybody’s kind words of encouragement on Saturday. It truly means a lot to have such a wonderful support system…especially from a group of people I’ve never met. (Even you, you crazy Brits!) After much soul searching, I’ve come to the realization that this process isn’t going to happen by doing some fad diet. Low-carb, high protein, cabbage soup…all of that. It’s not for me. For those of you that can follow that and see success, I give you ALL the props in the world. For me, it just doesn’t work. I can’t find myself feeling guilty when I wake up on Saturday morning and want a bowl of cereal. For the love of God…cereal isn’t the enemy!
I’m going back to square one. Back to what I know worked for me in the beginning. Deep in my heart of hearts, I know the message LA Weight Loss tried to teach was portion control via proper food groups. They had an awful front, constantly trying the high pressure tactics to get you to buy more crap. I loathed them for that…but they did teach me how to eat properly. I still kick myself for ever quitting in the first place. But I still remember how to do it. Just like riding a bike.
I can’t live life with a plan that doesn’t allow me to kick back and have a few beers with friends every now and then. Or a slice of pizza.
Or my Saturday morning cereal.
I’m feeling good today. I went shopping yesterday (and $100 later) came out with real, healthy food. Fruits, veggies, whole grains…even some protein. I started back up with my Power 90 DVD’s this morning…and broke quite a sweat. It felt great.
I’m back! Thanks again to all of you for EVERYTHING! =)

Welcome back! Yeah, you know what works for you. You just veered off the road some. Time to get back on track and stay there. And remember, starting again is not so easy so you have to push through all that. Just bust through it and stay the course. Don’t ever, never, ever, never quit.
Steps in the right direction…great job! You are right you can not look at this as a diet it has to be lifestyle change. Smaller portions and more fruit and veggies are key! One trick I have learned is not to deny myself something if I really want it..because if I do it just sends me in a spiral of emotional eating later in the week…I will just eat what I want in smaller portions. Hope this helps..hang in there.
You can do this. Eating healthy with proper portions does take a lot of work but the results will show your hard work. I know it can be expensive to eat healthy but you know it will be worth it. And with exercise you will reach your goals. Hang in there!!! You are on your way!
