I saw a picture of myself today, it was only a year and a half ago but I couldn't recognize myself because I was so slim. I mean, slim for me. A friend of mine got me into doing 10 day lemonade fasts to lose weight (well water weight) quickly. She and I would binge eat healthy foods in large portions and then after "bloating up" and not being able to really fit our clothes we would fast. And I tell you it actually worked. Eventually we kept shrinking and in that picture, which I took a few weeks after breaking a 10 day all water fast, I was at my smallest.
I looked at the picture and thought of how beautiful I would be if I could only be that size again. I looked at that picture and craved a way to reach my goals faster. For instance, instead of bloggin now, I could be working out for my second time today. But I realized, that what I am trying to achieve is not quick results. I have had those come and go. I want to have a lifestyle change.
I started my day with working out at the gym and I ate good healthy food in right portions throughout the day, so does that mean I need to be a mad women and work out some more at 1:30am, as if that one action is going to shrink me to my desired size overnight? I should think not. I think being steady and consistent with my habits is the best way to win this race. But of course if that fails, I could always just get gastric bypass. lol.
