I was a brave girl today. I called the behavior specialist for my binge eating. It got easier after the initial first sentence, "Hi I am calling because I think I may have a problem with binge eating". Hardest words to admit. She then asked me some questions. She said tonight the doctors meet and they will discuss each case and assign it to the doctor they feel best suited to help you. She will call me tomorrow to let me know the decision.
I feel empowered that I have made the right choice and that someone will be able to help me. I feel scared that they will make me do something I do not want to do. How do you like that? I am very happy I made the call because now I feel like I am taking steps to get healthy.
Here is my food log daily for the past 2 weeks:
3 Herbalife shakes for Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
2 Herbalife protein snacks for in between meals.
I am doing very good on it - I have not cheated. I am eating no food so the cravings are gone. I have been to several parties and I just bring my shake and protein bars with. I let everyone know and that keeps me from cheating.
I am starting to feel very full through the day so I know my stomach is shrinking.
Tomorrow I weigh in! I am excited. Now that I know I am doing this so well weighing in is very exciting maybe even fun!

No fitness
Because I have started on such a vigorous eating plan, I will not be doing any fitness this week. I am low on energy as my body purifies and gets used to eating only 800 calories a day. I am not exhausted by any means. Actually, I have more energy now than I did on junk food. BUT I have no extra energy as of yet. Because I am learning this new way of eating and trying to get back on track I will resume excercise on week 3.
This also brings me to the fact that when you start a new weight loss program, you do not have to jump in fully. I have done that so many times that I feel so overwhelmed so I quit.
Right now my focus is on journaling what I eat.
Eating the right things.
Resting while I detoxify.
And feeling good!

I am Back
Hello again! I am Back! Had a wonderful trip to Alaska. Now I am ready to lose some weight. Here are some things I did before I left on the trip to help get me ready for this weight loss journey:
1. I planned how I was going to lose weight, which diet, which excercise and who I would lean on.
2. I planned when to start. I chose a Thursday. Mondays never have worked for me!
3. I set a goal of 60 pounds. BUT I am breaking them into smaller goals. So every 10 pounds I get a little something.
Here is my menu plan:
3 herbalife shakes a day
2 herbalife bars
Lots of water
Now you are probally thinking I am crazy! No food what the heck. But there is enough protein and nutrients to get me a real good jump start. I know I can not stay on this for too long so I will add 1 meal after 8 weeks. I am also hoping by then to have seen a specialist on binge eating.
That is the main reason I have cut out all food and went to a liquid diet. If I have one bite, I can not stop! I have no issues just drinking shakes but when I tried to have one meal with them I could not stop eating once I was full. I am on day 11. I love it! Is it hard? yes but every diet is for me. Is it easier than any other diet? yes way easier. AND I have lost 8 pounds in one week and I cheated and weighed today for another 4 so 12 pounds in 11 days! I am sure I will not lose anymore before weigh in at 14 days but WOW! I feel so good in just 11 days! I feel skinny. I am no longer hungry. I have tons of energy. I can kick these last 50 pounds easily now I am motivated!
Don't get me wrong, the first week is hell. I was detoxifying so I slept a lot, had a headache and was hungry! I wanted my sugar. But once that first week was over - I was a new person! Watch me lose now!
If you need herbalife - I do sell it please contact me for more information!
