Starting Over

I hardly even know where to start this post. It is embarrassing how much backsliding I've done since I last wrote. A little over 20 lbs gained back!! I mainly blame it on that bag of Cheetos my husband brought home and thought I could resist. Once I ate that whole thing I said to heck with the rest of the week, and after that I never restarted.

I just saw my mom last week though and she looks so amazing. We went shopping together and she got to try on so many cute new styles and fits. I am really proud of her and she's such an inspiration to me. Visiting her got me really excited to restart Medifast.

Here are the main reasons I am starting the diet again now:

Look amazing like my mom!

Have the energy to be the person my kids, husband and home deserve.

Ran out of acid reflux medicine. :)

Even though some of the weight I lost originally is still gone, I'm going to reset my start weight to what it is today though, and not count what I already lost.

I'm hoping I won't feel as deprived this time as last time. I know which foods I like, so I'll start with eating mostly those. Luckily I have quite a bit of food left from when I quit, so I won't have to buy any for a while.

I also know that I need to be a lot more careful about cheating. I'm sure that my biggest challenge will be that I'm home full-time with the kids now and I have to have the discipline not to eat bites of their food as I'm making it.

Wish me luck! :)
