Step By Step

So these are the steps I have taken. I have once lost over 100lbs all by myself no surgery. I was successfully keeping it off until my last two pregnancies in which I completely gave up. There wasn't any reason for me to let myself go but I did. My doctor said that although my blood pressure is low, my cholesterol is normal it won't always be that way. She offered looking into weight loss surgery. I looked at her and said, "Weight loss surgery restricts the amount of food and calories you take in, why have surgery because I can't exercise self control?" Easier said than done but it has been done before and why risk surgery. She looked at me and said, " Leticia, you have always been very intelligent, you have the right idea." In addition, exercise will help me lose weight and tone so that I won't have as much flab as I lose. So instead of complaining that I have always been overweight, which I have, or that having six children is an excuse for looking the way I do, I am taking my application to the YMCA tonight after work. I looked into 24 hrs fitness but I am kind of poor so that won't do. I have also looked into Unjury and Optifast to get me a jump start. I know that if I don't learn how to eat real food the right way I will never keep it off, so the liquid options are just a jump start. The funny thing is that I do know the right foods and quantities but my kids hate soy milk, fresh beans, spinach, etc so I have a tendency to eat what they do. Maybe they will see my efforts and start eating healthier too. I will do whatever it takes. I want to be here for my children. I want to have energy. I want to like the way I look. I want my outside to match my inside.
