There Goes My Waistline Again: The Beginning

I have struggled with weight all of my life. I am consistently on a weight roller coaster. Up, down, up down up down. With the recent birth (okay okay she's 2.5 years old) of my daughter, I just haven't had the time or energy to really concentrate on myself and unfortunately have really let myself go.

To say I just need to shed those last few pounds of baby weight would be a lie. I am pretty far from where I was and even further from where I should be. I don't want to get "high school skinny" but I'd at least want to get "wedding skinny."

So here it goes....

I have decided to give the HCG Diet a try. Sure, some may think I am crazy but my body needs a shock to its system and so does my head. I'm ready to commit to this the whole way through. All 3 phases.

My goal?  To be Wedding Skinny by May.
Why? Because for my Husband and I's 4 year anniversary I want to have a Trash the Dress photo session and need to fit in my dress.
Is that the only reason?? No, but its a good goal to focus on. I need to shed the weight. My psyche needs it.
Why your 4 year anniversary? Because I hope to be pregnant or just birthing our 2nd child by our 5 year anniversary (which is when I truly want to do the photo session).
So what's your goal in pounds? 50 pounds but I'll take 40 pounds.
Are you going to post your starting weight? Hello No
Before & after picture? When I reach my goal, yes. I'll even post my starting then but not until I see some results first. Sorry, I'm too self-conscious for that.

I'll be posting my meals, weight loss, struggles, and victories! Here goes nothing!
