I am done done done with this up and down crap. I have been on one diet or another for the last 6 months and I weigh exactly what I did when I started. When I got on the scale this weekend and saw that DESPITE staying within my points and exercising like crazy I had GAINED 3 pounds, I just stood on the scale and cried. Cried my eyes out.
Then I promptly open my cupboards and shoved FiberOne bars in my mouth.

After lunch with my hubby I did feel better....not sure exactly why.

I need to get focused and this challenge is starting at JUST the RIGHT time!!!
In the past I have mentioned the Great Weight Loss of 2007. I lost 50 pounds in about 6 months. I did it by sticking to the Fat Smash Diet. I didn't want to do it again because, well, it's hard. And restrictive. And WeightWatchers is much easier.
But it's what I need right now. The first phase is 9 days. It's the Detox phase. Even though there is no counting of any kind, it's mostly just fruits and veggies. I found some great recipes and went grocery shopping. I was really proud that my cart was practically FULL by the time I was done with the PRODUCE section.

That's all just fruits and vegetables!
I am serious this time. I mean business. I have the eye of the Tiger.

I am FOCUSED. I plan on being 225 pounds by the end of this challenge on June 2nd. Please no comments about how that's not possible. If it's not then at least let me try and fail. In 10 weeks I want to lose 26.6 pounds. That's about 2.7 pounds down each week. Crazy. I can do it though. I know I can. Cheer me on!!!
