Final meal

It is all for the "lesser" good!

Grease soaked paper bag, adds to the experience!! :D
Have you ever wondered what you would have for your “last supper”?? Considering the multitude of options... last night I had my final high-fat unhealthy meal as an overweight blob. Decided on Five Guys for a cheeseburger and fries... something I haven’t allowed myself to indulge in as often as I might have wanted to.

Amazingly enough, it wasn’t as good as I was anticipating. Just wasn’t as satisfying mentally (nor physically) as the same meal has been in the past. Probably because of changes I have been implementing in my life - especially over the past couple of years. First by starting to climb out of depression... and now it’s time to make some physical changes to compliment and help with that journey!!

This weekend marks the beginning steps for a new physical me... a 100+ pound lesser me!! Which is one “large” reason why there are no personal photos found on this blog (there’s just not enough space for one!!). They say a camera will add 10-pounds... I wonder just how many cameras are pointed at me when I look at photos of myself!! (ha ha ha - that's an old joke - even if it is true!)

After much looking, researching, talking with others, etc. etc. etc. ---- I have found a diet lifestyle plan I believe will finally work... for me!! (yay for Medifast!) Like anything worth having, it’s not going to be a miracle overnight success... will require commitment, dedication, work, and eyes kept on the eventual goal. I am excited to start this journey... in for a penny, in for a pound (lots of pounds!!).

Give me a few weeks to get going on the diet lifestyle change... then I’ll try to post some updates on how it is working!! Yes!! I have faith and hope this will work!! And who knows... maybe someday later this year I will finally post a photo of myself (you're either excited, or terrified at the prospect... and that's okay, so am I)!!

    I love how you said it is a lifestyle change. When people use that term it means so much more than just a short term change, it is a long term change. You can do it!

    OH but I still want some 5 guys.

    Good luck with this. It's all mental, isn't it. I can tell I've been giving into old eating habits the bigger I get into this pregnancy. I should be careful now or when the baby comes I'll just think about food the way I used to. And I'd come a long way! I don't want to have to relearn everything.

    I too have been working on lifestyle changes. Depression and illness don't help. It often seems that once I have one under control the other spirals out of control. Good friends to help us along the tough spots always make things a little easier. Also remembering that when we slip, we just need to stand back up and get on track and quit beating ourself up over it.
