Being a photographer has given me the opportunity to always yell, "I take them, I'm not in them!" whenever someone points a lens in my direction. This is the most recent picture of myself, taken just a couple of weeks ago on my oldest son's school field trip. That's my youngest boy also sitting with us, before taking a ride on the zoo's train. I let my mom keep my 1 year old daughter that day so that I could enjoy the whole trip with them, and I'm so glad I did. This big ol' body just could barely keep up with these two. Looking at this pic, I can't believe we all fit on that tiny bench together, and it kills me to know that my childrens' mother is.. morbidly obese.
That's why I have taken the huge step, and put my mind wholeheartedly into removing that label. I want to be healthier, and more comfortable in my body. Honestly, who doesn't want that? For the next 6-9 months, I am on a mission to shed at least 100 pounds with the help of HCG injections and strictly following Dr. Simeon's diet protocol.
My wish is to post everyday about how I feel, and the meals I have. Whether they're tasty or downright blech. Hopefully, anyone else traveling the same road with me can glean something helpful from my own experiences, or if nothing else feel that support of knowing that you're not in this alone. I'd also greatly appreciate anyone's advice or tips that has already been through, or is going through the diet, too. So, here's to you and I, and that we may all reach our goal.
