Whoa...where did this weight come from?

Whoa...where did this weight come from?

I started a new plan...after years of doctors telling me that my metabolism was a "mess" I have finally come across a new plan that I am praying will get my body back in order. After years of yo-yo dieting followed by poor food and portion choices, my body has taken a beating and it is showing!

Because of a friends success, I have started "The Fast Metabolism Diet".  I am following the book written by Haylie Pomroy.  I am enjoying the book so much and I am sure not feeling deprived, if anything I am SHOCKED at the amount of food that I am eating!  I have got to get that metabolism burning!

My son told me yesterday that he thought that I should blog my experience with this diet, the highs and the lows, the successes and the set-backs.  I think that is a great idea!  I have a LOT of weight to lose so this may be a LONG journey!  I suppose that means that I should find a pic to put on here as well.

So, between having to eat every 3 hours and drinking multiple cups of water...1/2 of your body weight in ounces....I will blog my story!

I come from a long-line of weight issues and I can see the road that I am on.  I don't want to be overweight for the rest of my life.  I want to have energy and feel attractive, I don't want my weight to be what holds me back any longer.

Yesterday was the beginning of the rest of my life!

Phase one lasts for 2 days.  I started this yesterday obviously.  On these first 2 days you are eating specific grains moderate proteins and fruits.  I did struggle through this because I mainly get my fruits through juice or bananas.  Bananas are not allowed because of their sugar content (grapes are the same way).  Juice is also not allowed because of a couple factors, one being the instant sugar spike and 2 being that if you have the fruit you get the fiber as well.  The last 2 fruits I ended up replacing with cherry tomatoes because I just couldn't do another apple and I didn't have any other fruit available.

It is 10pm, I have got to go to bed....I DON'T want to eat again!!!
