Day 6

I have lost 8 pounds. I struggled through going to the fair and smelling all those wonderfully bad for you but oh so delicious foods, a BBQ and a wicked craving for the best pizza I have ever had. But here I am almost a week in and I have actually seen some progress. Challenging in so many ways but the end result will be every bit worth it.

The diet itself is really not so bad and once you really get into it and your body adjusts from the lack of carbs and sugar you feel SO much better. I have energy, my stomach no longer hurts constantly, and my skin even looks better.

I have to say I miss my summer fruit and corn on the cob and my carbs, but I will not miss all the weight I want to lose. So here is to being a hot mom not a moo.

Confessions

Hello,

I am Kris. I am 25 years old and I have liver disease. I am about 50+ lbs overweight, I have one biological son and one step son and I want to live long enough to see them both grow old, get married and have children.

I need to make changes now in order to live long enough to see this happen.

I have no one else to blame but myself and my lack of will power against my sweet tooth. I lack the tools necessary to know what is healthy because I grew up on Schwann frozen food and convenience meals.

This is the start of a new chapter and I am on the road to recovery.

Thanks for listening.

So tonight I am attending my first seminar on the ideal protein diet and I am hoping to get started so I can be on my way to a better, healthier me. My weight loss goal is 70 lbs total.

Things I want to come from this:
I want to wear a sexy Halloween costume this fall for the very first time.
I want to wear a pair of shorts for the first time.
I want to wear a tank top in public and look good in it.
I want to wear a summer dress.
I don't want to have to hide behind long sleeves and sweaters and pants any more.
I want to wear skinny jeans and BE skinny.
I want to cure my liver disease.
I want to get my blood sugar levels back to a normal range.
I want to live a long and healthy life for my kids.

So here is to a new start!!!

I am back!

Well I have been gone a month. I went on vacation for three weeks to visit my parents and my family back on the west coast. There are TONS of pictures I am sifting through still so more on that to come later.

We spent five days in a car riding back and then Dorian and I flew back at the end.

Now that I am home, my hope is to get back into blogging. We shall see if I can make it happen.


So for a little update:

Dorian  had his first taste of blueberries...he resembles the joker in this picture no?
