So...Day One....sucked. We aren't going to pretend it didn't. Still feel like crap but I KNOW this is my body processing all the sugar, etc. I just don't have to life it.
Yesterday,
I ate bacon for breakfast, chicken for lunch, pepperoni for a snack, a couple of pieces of bacon for a snack then two bunless burgers for dinner.
This morning, starting with an omelet.

I'm Going to Meat You So Hard
Hello Long Lost Friend,
I wonder if diet bloggers ever have the "shame" when they are yo-yo champions and they are afraid to face their blog. That is how I feel. It is like telling my best friend that I failed....again.
I'm starting over again and I'm excited about it. I KNOW it will work if I commit. It is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done and I'm mentally preparedum, right this moment for that challenge.
I know that any future readers of this post are going to *GASP* when they read the following part but what I DO believe about dieting is that if you find something that works for you and it prepares you for that life change, then BY GOLLY hold on to it. Everyone has their own dieting opinion about what diet is "healthiest". I personally believe that the epidemic of obesity and the diet I currently consume are a helluva lot more unhealthy than a diet I will use to lose weight.
I have decided focus on low carb. I've been encourage by all of the current research that has been published lately. It says that low carb dieters lose a little more and keep it off longer than those who lose in alternate ways.
I also believe that our bodies have NOT had enough time to evolve into processing the amount of sugar we put into it. Sugar makes everything TASTE better so it is in EVERYTHING. Jada Pinkett Smith recently was quoted as saying that she eates to nourish her body, not for enjoyment. That is my ultimate goal that I strive for. I was raised very poor and I believe that poor people embrace food for enjoyment. Every since I have had a dime to my name, I have spent it on food. I even justify making a worse choice as, I deserve this because I can afford it, I work hard.
I have spent several days looking at low carb blogs, bloggers, diet research and other resources. I know about myself that I AM ADDICTED to sugar. I crave it like a heroin addict. I can not continue a life where I justify sugar in my life.
If I pursued other types of diets, I would justify sugar as a part of them which is why I have failed in the past. I can't do that anymore. When I have failed at low carb, it has been because I have been unprepared in planning or because society has pressured me. The sad truth is that society is currently embracing and encouraging a sugar filled life. I AM stronger than that. It is time to show it.
Once again, future readers are going to *GASP*. I've been reading about a "meat fast". As it sounds, you eat meat for 3-5 days. Only meat. I think it would get me into ketosis faster and all of the headaches and unpleasantness faster so I can get through it. Today is a 3 day weekend and I have both Sunday and Monday left to do nothing. I plan to reconsider it on Tuesday when I start school back.
SOOO! My plan today is:
-bacon for breakfast
-chicken for lunch
-burgers gor dinner
I know to some of you, it may seem extreme but this morning when I weighed myself, I was at 218.4 and I had a 41 inch waist. That is extreme. That is very scary. It is time. It is my time.
I also have 2 months until I go to New York City. My best friend told me she got engaged yesterday and I believe they are planning a December wedding. It is time!!
