Kiss and say goodbye to Frenchy Fries

My 32nd birthday was the turning point. Without even thinking about it, I ate home fries that morning for breakfast. I haven't had any since. 17days!!! It's hard even for me to believe. I LOVE LOVE LOVE french fries and loads of ketchup. That's my favorite part about going to Wendy's or MickeyD's or Bojangles' or where ever. I'm definitely a comfort food girl! I know it's my downfall when it comes to weight loss. I didn't even plan to give up the fries. I just decided that I HAD to make healthier choices. It's funny. There have been several diets over the years that I have tried...Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, Adkins, and the Caveman diet (one of my personal favs). I even tried skipping meals and that was a DISASTER!!!

I will be completely honest. I would try them for a while. Then about 2 weeks after starting, my body starts craving all of those comfort foods that I love oh so much. It starts off slow. I would wake up hungry and think to myself, “One biscuit isn’t’ going to hurt.” I’ll be “good” for lunch or make sure that I work out after work. (Who the F did I think I was fooling?) By the end of the day, I have ate out for every single meal and got at least one thing out of the vending machine. Of course, something would happen and I would not have time to work out after work either. Surprise, Surprise! Another problem I have is not having a lot of mirrors that are full length. Most of them are chest up. Strangely enough, most of the pictures of me are from the chest up, too. A few months ago, Wes and I went play golf and took the camera. I guess I’m thankful. The pics… OMG!!! All I can say is I don’t feel that size at all. I guess you could call it denial or just being really comfortable in your skin. I had to take a double-take b/c I didn’t recognize myself. I mean, I knew it was me but I had no idea that I was still that bad. I lost 25 pounds on Weight Watchers about 3 years ago. I have been able to stay at that weight or a few pounds lighter.

This time it's different!! I mean business. I really don't care who is doing what for lunch. I need to do this for me and for Savannah. She learns from my example and I need to teach her to love herself inside and out!!
