This post is about dieting, I've been searching inside & out for a simple answer with quick results & there really hasn't been one. Everytime I find something new there are tons of people who say that it worked for them & even worked miracles that couldn't be done through anything they've tried previously. My main problem is that I get bogged down by boredom & I can't seem to follow through. The answer has been staring me in the face & I've done it before but I just wasn't willing to spend the time.
In 2003 I completed an 11 week cycle of weight watchers through which I lost 20 pounds, it wasn't difficult to complete, it was a bit tough to get started but I feel it actually taught me "how" to eat. I realized that I'd much rather spend my points on a few cups of grapes throughout the day than having a few bites of something unhealthy. I knew that once my points were done for the day that I had a bit of wiggle room but I rarely used them because I wanted to see results. I remember starting off with a 4 pound weight loss just in my diet change & almost always pound loss each week just through improved food choices & movement. My weight at completion was 128.6, which made me completely happy & although I don't believe I can get there again I would like to be in the ballpark of that number.
My current weight is 164 pounds & my ultimate goal weight is 135, I think it's a nice round number & lends itself to the fact that I've had a child & also gives me a good are of comfort to stay within. Everyone is always searching for the magic workout, pill, or diet that will just melt the fat but I now am pretty sure it doesn't exist. I hope to get to my goal through substitutions & exercise, I would love to get moving 3 times a week with a cardio dvd & writing/typing my food choices so that they're staring me right in the face day after day. With that said; I'm hoping to make my change this week or next, I'm not wanting to make a big deal of it as I have before in the past. I know it can be a slow process but this time I actually want to try & complete this. Even if it take months maybe it will stick this time & I won't have to do this ever again. :)
