I want to share my journey with you. I don't claim to be an awesome writer. I am just an overweight, down to earth, wife and mother of 3 that wants to make a change. I am sure this is not going to be easy and I won't be perfect at it. But, with time I know I can get myself healthy and hopefully my family as well.
I have been trying to lose weight for the past 13 years. I have tried many diets over the years and have had no long lasting success. When I have researched people that have lost weight and kept it off, they say that they made a "LIFESTYLE CHANGE". I am convinced that this has been my biggest problem over the years. I would stick to the "diet" perfecty and lose some weight, but I was concentrating on the day when the diet would be over and I could get back to my life. I was constantly feeling deprived and telling myself over and over, " This is temporary, April. Just stick with it a little longer. When you lose the weight you can have a piece of pizza again." It is so easy, NOW to see why I have failed.
I HAVE DECIDED TO CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE AND MY FAMILY'S!
I just QUIT yet another diet, realizing that I could not stick with it forever. One thing I did get from it is that eating every 2.5 hours is good for you. It increases your metabolism, keeps your blood sugar stable, and helps you not be as hungry at the next meal. Today, My parents and I decided to meet with an old friend of ours who had lost a lot of weight by going RAW. Most of what she said made sense to me. I have also been listening to a radio show every Sunday morning for over a year now and I love it. His name is Dr. Joe Esposito and he is on B98.5 FM on @ 7 am. He talks about becoming healthy and how to do it. I have gathered years of knowledge and I am ready to TAKE ACTION.
The Plan:
1. Research Nutrition
2. Make 100% natural meals that my family will enjoy and benefit from.
3. Shop only in the produce section of the Grocery Store.
4. Share with others my journey (good and bad)
