Choose Your Hard


Weight loss is a mind game with yourself you know. A small recap of my weight loss. About 4 years ago I realized that I had let myself go. I drowned my sorrows and fears in food. I did nothing extraordinary for myself. At my highest I was hitting 280 lbs. and couldn't fit in any of my clothes. Instead of buying bigger clothes I decided enough is enough. Loosing weight you have to decide mentally and physical you are ready to take care of you. I found that just taking a diet pill doesn't work long term. Just dieting you will hit a plateau and not loose much. Just exercising you can still gain weight if you don't watch your food intake. How do I know? I lost my weight last summer all the way down to 190 to be able to attend the Boy Scout Jamboree which had weight limitations. I took a dieting break for the Thanksgiving holidays but maintained my exercises. I gained my weight back all the way to 225. I started my diet back in March by changing what I buy at the store. I am only allowing myself to purchase dairy, meat, fruit, vegetables and nuts. Today I am proud to say that I am now under 200 lbs. I am publicly putting this out there to challenge myself and others. My challenge has always been to get to 175 lbs. I plan on getting to that goal by the end of summer. You can bank on it!!!!!!!!!!! If you need some tips and recipes give me a holler

It Didn't Happen in a Day

It Didn't Happen in a Day


For years I didn't worry about my weight. Slowly through time I gained. My all time high was almost 280 pounds. Since 2013 I have been working on my weight. I took sodas out of my diet, fast foods were history, except on payday's with the family and snacks were a thing of the past. I began working out at the gym.  Slowly the weight came off. I had lost to 215 pounds.  The photo's below were my before and after shots I had done at that time.  But it was pure torture. I had some financial issues, quit the gym and took a break.  I gained back to 225 pounds.  In late 2015 my work offered a discount at the gym through my insurance and I began exercising again.  Then around August of 2016 I changed one thing. The weight began to melt away and I wasn't depriving myself of anything. I eat whatever it is I am hungry for.  How did I do it?  Well it didn't truly become reality till I started doing portion control with calorie counting (see my very first blog for more details). Eating 3 meals at 400 calories each and 2 100 calorie snacks. Today I am proud to say I weigh 193 pounds! I have 8 pounds to my personal goal!  Then I will get evaluated by a nurse to see where I should be. Updates to come in the future. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is willpower. Second is portion control with good choices. Third is physical exercise. 

It's how southern women diet!

Happy Earing!
