From my earliest memories as a child I was always the fat kid, who was too slow, too weak and couldn't even do a single push-up in gym class. The trend continued in to my 20s where I got slim for a little while but that didn't last as beer and cheeseburgers called my name. <br />
<br />
Now in my 30s I struggle with weight big time since I'm always "too busy" with work and raising my son, so instead of cooking something healthy I run out and grab a pizza or chinese food instead of taking care of myself like I deserve.<br />
<br />
NO MORE!!<br />
<br />
Because of that I'm starting my 30 day weight loss challenge to myself, and I'll be posting the results regularly on the site to keep myself in check and I hope anyone out there who is reading this keeps me accountable when I let myself down by not working hard enough.<br />
<br />
I debated a few diets, at first I was thinking about the <a href="http://www.atkins.com/">Atkins diet</a> because I know a lot of people who have lost weight with it, but honestly I don't think I can live without carbs. I'm one of those people who needs to have at least a slice of bread every now and again and I didnt like how with Atkins you mess up once and the diet is ruined. <br />
<br />
I do like the principles of low carb dieting though, so as a compromise I've decided to do the <a href="http://www.susanamendez.com/medifast-diet-review/">medifast diet</a> because it sounds a lot more reasonable than Atkins. I know it wont be easy, and I'm sure the food tastes terrible as all freeze dried foods do, but at least they have brownies and stuff I can eat when I'm feeling like I need a few carbs (albeit not a lot). <br />
<br />
So with that please wish me luck and I will make sure I post regularly so you can all keep tabs on me. I hope that you will all be encouraging and remember that putting my weight loss issues out in the public eye is not something I take lightly so please be kind and supportive!Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03383546783082115527noreply@blogger.com9
