For those of you who know me I have been dieting or as I call it on a lifestyle change since my birthday this past Jan. When I started the Beaumont diet of all shakes, I set a goal for myself. I wanted to lose 100 pounds by my next birthday. I wanted to give myself a year. I never stopped this long battle of obesity that I have I kept fighting and fighting.
I cant lie as I have slipped here and there but I would always catch myself. It's been about 4 months since I last weighed in.
Why?
We'll not to knock Beaumont because hey the program does work. But it's just too expensive. I hate the fact that insurance companies don't help pick up some of the tab on obesity. Now granted this is not all genes and all that. I contributed to my weight. But at this point in time in my life I have now learned how to eat. This is something that I have never been able to do before. I know when to quit, I know when I have had enough. It feels wonderful to be able to say that. I've really had some will power too, My will to get healthy and be here for long time, to get married and have kids and be here for my wife and family. Those things mean a lot to me. I'm on the right path.
The main reason for this post tonight is to let you all know that I went and weighed myself in today. Not at Beaumont, but I started up at Weight Watchers with my Girlfriend Amy and she has been in the program and it has worked for her. I will continue to do my shakes but I'm also now able to incorporate some food in my diet as I have been doing so all ready. OK I know, so where does that leave me? What did the scale say? It's been four months what has happened.
Well when I last weighed myself about 4 months ago I had list aprox. 70 pounds. And I'm Very Very Very proud to report to all of you that when I weighed in this morning I have PASSED MY GOAL! Since Jan 23rd 2007 I have lost a total of 103 pounds... I finally did something right, I still have 3 months to go. I had no idea. I mean I could tell that I had lost weight. I bought a few new shirts and went down a few sizes, I had to buy all new underwear for myself. I'm so proud of myself right now.
I have set another goal. If I can do what I did already then I can challenge myself to another 100 pounds in a year. Watch out y'all cause I got a new walk.
