Week 2 , Day 9

This week has been really crazy so I haven’t been able to blog everyday. I work retail so , you know , life is chaos right now. I’ve lost 5lbs so far , that makes me 225lbs right now so not drinking pop or having fast food everyday has worked. I did have a Wendy’s sandwich yesterday but I’m back on track today.

Olivia, my nutritionist, wants me meditating everyday and I gotta say, it has dropped my stress level down so much ! When ever I feel super freaked out or I’m dealing with a lot of customers at work I breathe big belly breaths in and out 4 times . It a great way to stay level headed ! Any way back to work !

G.P’s Journey- Week 1 Day 3

Things have been going pretty well.

I’ve had no pop or fast food in the past 72 hours and I’m going through withdrawals . My mood is pretty good though, I’m not thinking about my cravings too much which is pretty good considering the fact I work at a retail store that literally has candy from all around the world. Why I started this during the holiday months I have no clue. I have just been trying to focus on what I want to look like and how I want to feel. I meal prepped all of my food for today and I have to say I haven’t been hungry all day !

I’m super busy at work today so I’ll make this short and sweet. So on day three I was craving all the bad thing but I’m not giving in !

G.P’s weight loss – Week 1, Day 1

December 1st, 2018

I really don’t know how to start this so here I go…I have hit rock bottom.

I have ruined myself with crappy habits and a lazy lookout on life. I’m starting this blog to have a daily diary of my thoughts and feelings on my weight loss journey and life in general.

I’m so sick of feeling gross and not myself, right now I weigh about 230 lbs and my height is 5’4. I’m a size 16 in pants and a xxl in pretty much everything. It just sucks….15 years ago I was 125 lbs and super cute. I could wear all my clothes with confidence and I felt good about myself. I’ve been reflecting on why I have done this too myself and it all comes down to one thing …life stress.

Every time I’ve had to deal with life stress I overeat! I gained 20 lbs when my parents were getting divorced and about 80 while I was pregnant with my son.

I need to fix this and I need to do it now. I’m sick of looking in the mirror and seeing a chick who has given up and hides behind her messy bun and hoody.

I asked for my sister-in-law’s help with this, she is a nutritionist and personal trainer.

I had my first consultation with her yesterday and She has given my a few things to work on .

I will be taking a probiotic everyday.
I will start my day with a veggie and fruit smoothie
I’m not allowed to eat any processed foods (goodbye fast food and pop.)

So I have gone to the grocery store and prepped myself all up for this week. I am already angry that I’m not drinking pop…I’m going from having like 4 diet sodas a day to zero.

I have got to do this and I can. I’m the only one stopping me .
