wow, so last blog i was asking what happened to my motivation, well i lost it completely and gained ALL of my weight back + an extra 7 Pounds, before this week, i was at my heaviest i have EVER been in my entire life!! I completely lost myself and i didnt care, i ate take out like it was going out of style! My newest addiction was Akita Sushi ( an all you can eat sushi restaurant) That served more than just sushi, my favourites were Tempera Shrimp, cheese dumplings, breaded curry chicken all which were deep fried!! I ate that at least twice a month, sometimes even four times a month, and since it was all you can eat, i came out of there stuff beyond belief every-time! i went out to lunch anywhere from twice to five times a week, buffets, Harveys, Wendys, KFC, Not to mention Tim Hortons every single morning and the fact that i was so lazy and never wanted to cook i would order food for dinner like pizza, Chinese, Swiss Chalet, so i was even started to make my family unhealthy with me..My problem was not only what i was eating, but the fact that when i looked in the mirror, i still saw a pretty face and therefore didn't see a problem, also i hadn't stepped on a scale in months so i didn't see the effect it was actually having on me, i didn't realize i had gained EVERYTHING back let alone more! My sister is my best friend, she is also overweight, but unlike me, she has many health problems. All the times i was going out to eat, it was with her, we would bond over lunches together ALL THE TIME!! We had been talking about needed to get healthy and doing it together, but my BIG reality check came when i stepped on the scale the other day and saw 292Lbs!!!!!!!!!!! What have i done to myself? As of Monday i started my new life style, its not a diet, i fail at diets, im just changing the way i eat and adding exercise into life! I renewed my membership at the leisure centre and now my sister and i are going to work out together instead of going out to eat! I have changed my eating habits, but not to the point where i feel like i am depriving myself, for example my day yesterday consisted of my usual Tim Hortons coffee, a Greek yogourt with some special K cereal in it, surprisingly really good! Lunch i ate out, i had extreme pita, i had a grilled chicken pita stuffed with veggies and a water, was filling and only 241 calories, for a snack i had these things called veggie straws, kind of like chips, only 260 calories in 68 of them, so about the amount of a small bag of chips, then for dinner i made my family meatloaf, with mashed potatoes and corn but i made myself a salad and a whole wheat tortilla baked into a shape of a bowl and filled that bowl with diced turkey breast, lettuce tomato, salsa and fat free cream cheese and baked it a little longer, it was AMAZING!! I am going to do my best to keep on track this time, i have to, for myself, and for my boys! I am FINALLY graduating High School in June ( i am done just needed to go back for one credit, however the ceremony isnt til June) I want to look amazing, and hopefully fit back into that amazing red dress i wore to my cousins wedding in August of 2011!! i want to have a summer where i can comfortably wear summer clothes! I thank everyone who is behind me on this journey and supports my new lifestyle! Next goal is to quit smoking, but i am not there yet!
Thanks for reading and i will try to keep you up to date with my progress!!
