Its time.

So I've been on several diets. I've set myself up to fail every time. And recently I've had a huge wake up call.

Over the past few years I've gained a lot of weight. I wasn't skinny to begin with either. Weight is something I've always struggled with since the wonderful changes of puberty. I know I've been able to lose weight and have a healthier life style in the past, but for some reason these past few years have been a real struggle for me.  I know all about temptations with foods and being too weak to continue a new diet. Until today.

So what has changed? I know for a fact I've had this 'until today' attitude. And a part of me wonders how strong this new faced off adventure will be. BUT something inside me has changed.
A few days ago I went to get my yearly pap smear. It had been awhile since I had one. The dr also did some routine blood work tests which one of them was my cholesterol.  I get the dreaded call and was told my triglycerides were HIGH. Now, me being over weight I had to expect something like this, right?!  Then I go ahead and do some research. The big world wide web is always something I cling to when I find out something about me myself and I.  I always hear of people having High Cholesterol and it never seemed to be a big deal to people. But what I've discovered is scary. And real. Something has to change, and people should be more aware of the scary outcome of high cholesterol.

When it comes down to it, my life is on the line. And I look at my children and think about how sad I would be if I wasn't here to watch them grow.  I mean, just look how beautiful they all are!!!!

 

These beautiful children have changed my life. They have motivated me in many ways. I need to now

take care of myself so I can take care of them, forever! =)

 

I recently discovered a diet that has inspired me. I've done a lot of research on it and am every excited to try it. There actually were a few diets I was looking up, but one in particular has caught my eye. My neighbor is also doing it.  SO I've decided to blog all about it, not only to show who ever read's this, my success but to remind me how strong I can be and to help continue my motivation by tracking it all down.

 

Lets begin my Journey!!!!!
