I have been talking about losing weight all of my life. My good friends, my sisters and Meredith all know that to be true. It’s funny because when I see pictures of myself 10 years ago I look pretty good… not skinny but by no means a fatty… yet I have always seen myself as overweight.
And…well now I am.
But things are going to change. I made the decision this weekend that it’s now or never and I am on a mission to shed some serious pounds.
So, you may be asking yourself what makes me think that this time my weight loss “project” will be successful? The answer is pretty easy if you’ve read, The Seven Women Project. This time I am having Kate (super organized) be in charge of my “Weight Loss Program” and not Hanna!
Yes, sad to say but our loving Hanna, the woman who loves comfort foods, has been running the food show in my house for many years now.
The Final Diet begins now- Kate has taken the weight loss reins and she is getting me totally prepared to succeed. As you SWP fans know, Kate loves a plan and a process.
1. We cleaned out the pantry and got rid of all the salty-crunchies that I can eat unconsciously while watching The Biggest Looser. She filled the fridge with veggies, chicken and fish, and reminded me that green tea is a better option than Diet Coke.
2. She encouraged me to make a personalized notebook/journal. We filled it with 100 of the exact same pages that included a photo of me (when I size 8) a place to write date, a daily food journal, my current weight and measurements. Measuring is really important. Numbers don't lie...
3. I took a photo of me- for the future "before and after" sort of thing (It scared me)
4. I put a slim, happy Karen photo up on the fridge
