Ok, so I've been overweight most of my life (pretty much all of it). Today is the day that I start taking back my life and begin a healthier one for my girls who are almost 2 and 4 years old. I have no energy. I'm always tired. My cholesterol is high as well as my A1C (I'm diabetic for those that don't know what that is). The saddest part of all...I'm only 34 years old and in the prime of my life.
When I went to see Dr. J. Chris Cobb last week, he suggested Medifast to me. Well, today it begins. I don't mind the shakes but let me tell ya....the oatmeal is HORRIBLE!!! It was like I put dirt in water and heated it up in the microwave.
Oh, well....it will be a lot of trial and error, but I'm ready. I'm psyched actually! I feel good about the diet "this time". I know everyone says that but for some reason, before now, I didn't really feel "ready" to begin this journey. Now, that I'm a mom and have a loving husband for support and two kiddos counting on me...it's just plain time to get off my butt and do something about it before I become insulin dependent.
So, I'm adding a pic of me and my girls (Scarlett and Ivy) to this blog, so I can remember for myself the reason for this journey! Please keep me in your prayers and wish me the best.
Start weight is 252.0 (morning weigh in).
