To change your life... you have to change your life.

I can't tell you how many diets I have tried (and failed) over the years. There was the "diet coke and snicker bar diet", the "cabbage soup diet" (blaaauuuhg), the "don't eat diet", Atkins, water pills, dexatrim.....and on and on and on. If I did loose weight it came right back.
I had to realize this, are you ready? DIETS DON'T WORK!! What I would do when I went on a diet is change what the diet said, then go back to what I use to do. To change your life....You have to change your life. I had realize that what I was putting in my body was what made me fat (obese). And me being overweight was making me tired and causing health problems.
So the first thing I had to do was change my choices and find a good eating plan to follow. Something to keep in mind are;
~raw is better
~lean grilled/baked meats
~nothing breaded or fried
~100 % whole grain (Check your labels)
~only one starch a day
~no white sugar or white flour
These are just a few. I will have a page just for this later.
And remember, If your going to indulge...you can but be smart about it. Just a little and Not very often. The more calories you put in the harder you have to work to get the fat off :) There are wonderful treats to have that are healthy for you that don't grow your butt. You have to think before you put that donut (or Oreo, Little Debbie, whatever) in your mouth....how many more sit-ups will I have to do to work this off? Is it worth it?
It's mind over matter. If you mind being fat and working harder to get it off, then it matters what you put in your mouth. Make it count and change your life. Don't weight another day!

God Bless, Kelli
