Well, after two years of gaining weight BACK, I am starting the journey again to lose it. Before, I had lost about 35lbs. This time I will have to lose 40lbs to get back to where I was and 15lbs after that to be at a healthy weight. I am confident I can do this.
I just turned 29. My goal is to be clinically healthy by the time I am 30. This means that I have a BMI of less than 25 (right now mine is about 34), and a waist measurement of less than 35in (mine is about 44in).
I have struggled with my weight ever since I can remember and I am truely tired of it. I am sick of feeling sloppy, fat, and gross, and at this point I disgust myself. And it doesn't help that I am around a bunch of healthy nursing students. I want to walk into a store and pull something off the rack and know I will fit into it. Also, I don't want to be preaching to patients about a healthy lifestyle when I don't practice one.
My plan is to follow a book from the Mayo Clinic called The Mayo Clinic Diet (duh!). The first two weeks is a program of starting habits and breaking habits. It requires that I eat tons of fruits and veggies, exercise more, and pay attention to the things I do while I am eating.
Tomorrow I will start. I am expecting to be starving the first few days, but hopefully I will make it through! I know I can, I just have to push through the excuses.
Please feel free to share your experiences or comment on anything! I will check in every week to share my accomplishments and struggles.
