Well all today is the first day of a whole new diet. I tried to post yesterday but my comp shut down on me right when I was getting ready to say my good byes to everyone and I lost everything I had wrote. Let's just it doesn't happen again today. As you can see I am starting this diet off at 275 pounds. I was weighing a lil more thanks to TOM but now that he is gone so is that extra weight. I was looking over my earlier journals from when I started this mission I had made a New Years Resolution to lose 30 pounds by the first of 2007. Well, I lost it within 6 months. So, now I am going to start making monthly resolutions. On the first of every month I will write in my journal how much I pledge to lose. For the month of August I pledge to lose between 15 & 20 pounds. I usually lose weight when I start a new diet and hopefully I'll do the same with this one. That's why I am putting between 15 & 20 instead of just saying 20. So, that way if I lose 16 pounds this month I won't feel bad and want to binge and gain back what I have achieved. I know it's going to be hard, I know the weight is Not going to just disappear over night. I am determined to Not wear a Granny dress to Jennas Wedding. It may not be a size 7 or even a 12 but at least I know for certain it WON'T be a 24!!!

The first thing I thought I would do is list what I am giving up like I did for my diet during Lenten. I have been eating a lot of red meat again. I know I shouldn't but I don't usually feel like cooking two different meals, and having all guys in the house of course they want their Beef...lol Ok let's get this thing started.....

Cut Down to 2 Red Meats a Week......Eat at least 3 salads a week......Eat only 2 or 4 slices of Wheat Bead a week.......No Ice Cream, Cakes, Cookies, Chips, Peanuts, Fried Foods, Pizza, Dips......And I will cut down on how many fresh fruits I eat in a day, only 1 peach instead of 3......I will however need to have my Dark Chocolate once a month because it seems strange, but it does help with my migraines....So, only one small bag of M&Ms a month....No more pudding, cheese cake, sugared sodas, less Tea....MORE WATER!....Start taking my Vitamins again......And whatever else I can think of later I will add.

Welp, that about does it for me. I will update hopefully every monday if not sooner and let everyone know how things are going. I might just update twice a week it depends on how I'm doing and if other people start coming back to the journaling ring. I hope All my friends I have made here are doing well with their diets and I wish them all the Luck in the world on their journey to being healthy. And I would like to Thank everyone for all their support in the past. I Will TTYL Ciao All Staci

Good luck, you can do it. Sounds like you have a good plan to go by. Mine's not a good plan. I keep going on my "liquid pork chop" diet.(beer)lol
I liked your first love story. I wonder if they're still together. I think everybody's got a first love story. Some are good and some are bad like mine. My mom never did want me around him. She was right all along.
