I am on a diet. Yes a real one. They say 9 months to put it on 9 months to take is off. Well is has been 2 years since I had Bode, so this fat I have been carrying around can't be blamed on baby fat... it is all just my fat. I gained 65 lbs with Bode (yes, wow that is a ton of weight!) So hopefully when I get pregnant again I will remember that if I gain to much I still have to take it off in the end.
So I started the South Beach Diet a week and a half ago and I am a believer! I have already lost 8 pounds!! You lose the most in the first two weeks and then slowly take off the rest over a period of time. It definitely agree the it hasn't been easy but I have stuck to it 100% and it feels great! I do have moments of weakness but all I have to do is step on the scale, see my progress and remember why I am doing this.
I found the best support site for dieters. Jeremiah calls it online fat camp, call it what you want, it is awesome for me. It is called "myfatsecret". Google it if you are interested.
I have tried dieting before and always fail, this diet is great becasue you can see results relatively fast and you don't feel starved ever. It also has made me more aware of the food that my family eats and how unhealthy and over processed it can be. It, for now anyways, has changed the way I look at food and in the long run will help me and my family eat more healthy.
So moral of the story is, yes I am missing carbs right now but it is worth it. And if you are thinking if dieting I definately recommend South Beach and "myfatsecret".

Thank goodness that guy in the short shorts is gone! :) J/K Hey--I'm going to be on a diet in about 6 months...you'll have to give me tips. I tried that "remember how big you got last time" thing while pregnant. It doesn't work for me.

ReplyDeleteGood job Heidi!! They say it takes 21 days to make a habit. It seems like those are the hardest with your cravings. I know you'll do great! Jeremiah is going to see you again and think, "Whoooo, hot mama!!" However, I'm quite sure he already thinks that about you :o)
ReplyDeleteGood job on the whole diet thing, but seriously every time I have seen you in the last two years I have never thought that you needed a diet. I think you look pretty great actually!
