NEWTRITION

I’ve decided to go on a diet. I know I’ve said that I don’t believe in diets and I still don’t but it’s just time! Over the past few months I’ve been eating as if calories don’t exist. I used to be able to do that but now that I’m getting older I can’t be a human garbage disposal anymore. My clothes don’t fit me and it’s the worst feeling in the world. I constantly feel insecure about my body so I’ve been sucking in my stomach and wearing heels to elongate my legs. This has got to stop before it gets worse.

I’ve decided to do a version of the Paleo diet by giving up carbs and dairy. I’ve heard pros and cons of doing this but I really don’t care. I need to lose weight and I need to lose it now. I’ll figure out the rest when I’m ready. I also need something to give me that extra push so I can fit back into my clothes again. Trying to eat healthy and working out just isn’t cutting it for me.

Yesterday was the first day on my diet and it was not fun. It’s not easy either. All I want is a breakfast sandwich and hopefully within the next couple of weeks I won’t crave such a thing. Below is what I ate yesterday.

Breakfast:

• 1 green juice from whole foods
• Triple Berry Chia Pudding

Lunch:

• Turkey lettuce wraps with mustard

Snack:

• 12 almonds

Dinner:

• BBQ salmon with asparagus

It’s pretty miserable but I feel better already and that’s what matters. I’ll make sure to update my progress and let you know how I’m feeling. Until then, wish me luck!
