I started a low carb (mostly) clean eating diet on February 8th after having scarfed down a whole bag of gummi bears before promptly going to bed. I woke up the next morning, looked at the bag that had about 5 gummis left in it, and felt so disgusted with myself. I threw what was left away and vowed that I was I going to change and the fact that it was a Saturday be damned! And I did. No bread, no white sugar, no refined flour. And I wasn't going to "cheat" by buying fake low carb substitutes loaded with garbage and fake sugars. Now I'm not perfect and I do drink diet coke (I know it's bad but I do not have an iron will and straight up I love DC.) and I will on occasion steal ONE bite of whatever pasta my hubby's having but I am so proud that I have made it to March 1st without giving up! I started at 218 lbs and as of Friday 2/28 was down to 210.2. I am aching to just get out of the 200lb zone and hit 199! That is my first goal. 2nd goal is prepregnancy weight of 180lbs, 3rd goal is to get to 150lbs, and last goal will be to hit 130-135 for my wedding next June. I have a LONG way to go and I need to start working out to help build muscle and tone but I never ever have been able to accomplish what I've accomplished in these past few weeks. I never had the will power to do what I'm doing now. The self confidence and happiness I've given myself is immeasurable and I know I will stay with it because I made it through the hard part and I can't picture myself going back to that unhappy girl cramming gummis down her throat for no reason other than the mindless food to mouth comfort. Thanks MFP the posts and success pics on here are what I look at every day to see what I am working for!
