Here I Go Again

I started dieting when I was 11 or 12 years old and it started with a fruit diet. And just as it sounds, I ate mostly fruit. In a way that was the worst thing I could have ever done because it started my life of yoyo dieting. I have spent so much money on diets, thousands....seriously. I have done weight watchers at least 4 times. I did nutra system. I went on a diet called the "physicians" diet. I even did something called Optifast. If you are not familiar with this one well....I pretty much starved myself for 5 months. I had nothing but shakes for that whole time period and only drank 800 calories a day. They said it was safe but if it was so safe why did i have to have blood drawn every 2 weeks and see a doctor every 2 weeks? But honestly it was one of the easiest diets I had ever been on because there were no choices and my body went into starvation mode and I stopped feeling hungry after 3-4 days. I actually got to the point where I would forget to "eat" my shakes and would have to write it down to remind myself. Oh yeah, I lost weight but a couple months later after eating again I had to have my gallbladder out and gained the 96 pounds i had loss plus many more. I don't care what anyone says, you do not learn 'how' to eat right if you are drinking liquid shakes for 5 months.

I know how I want to lose weight . I know what I should be eating. I know what is healthy. I know that eating the way I know to eat will make me feel so good, if that makes any since at all.

So, here I am at square one again. The thing is is that I don't want to focus on my weight. I want weight loss to be a benefit. I want feeling good, having energy, getting active and having great health to be the reason I change my eating. Of course I am not going to lie and say I don't care about the weight because I do.

So Here I Go Again. Planning, preparing and praying.
