Happy Chocolate Bunnies, Colored Eggs, and Peeps Day!
My parents have a tradition that has lasted well.. for 23 years so far. Every year my parents give me an Easter Basket filled with chocolate bunnies, peeps, cadbury eggs. You name it, it's in there. I recieved a basket earlier this week when my parents visited me. I've gotten the same speech every year "We don't care if it's silly, but it's what we like to do for you." The irony of it all is had my appointment for getting back on Phentermine the same day I received my basket. So, I literally have a small pink basket filled with a chocolate bunny, robin's eggs, peeps, cadbury eggs, gum, etc that I have not touched. Does this mean I'm going to give this basket to my parents because I'm on a diet? No.
In fact, seeing that basket of chocolately, sugary goodness is a motivator.
I have always been the emotional eater type, and I always went for the chocolate (and sometimes everything else). Everytime there was any sort of chocolate around me I would give in to temptation and binge on it. I realized when I recieved that basket that I am a better person than what I made myself to be. Maybe it was an epiphany because the idea of when getting upset having a piece of chocolate, or a scoop of ice cream just sounds so silly now! Does that mean from now when something happens that turns my world upside down I'm not going to go for the chocolate but for a carrot? No. To be honest...
I was given a small Reese peanut butter cup at work yesterday, and I enjoyed it. Why? Probably because I'm not resorting to food to be my crutch anymore.
Everyday I am going to look at that pink basket of chocolate and laugh in it's face. That basket will do everything it can to tempt me into breaking in to it, but I am determined to show the pink goody filled basket who's boss. I am also reminded at how appreciative of my parents I am for them taking their time to give me a cute basket filled with goodies. What other 23 year old can say that?
Oh, and don't think I don't have a Plan B. If my willpower wants to faulter at all I'll be giving the goodies inside of the basket to my boyfriend. Hehe.

Dun Dun Dun!
Hello internet. A new face emerges!!
Now, I am very sure there will be none to view other random viewers of my blog but if you happened to stumble across here don't be shy.. leave a comment! Ok, time to dive in.
This is not going to be the typical weight loss blog. Oh no, it's going to be far from it. My world is filled with sunshine and rainbows. Is that crazy to think? You betcha. Is it going to be sunshine and rainbows all of the time.. realistically not, especially not this first blog. Let's get down to the numbers.
On March 31st 2010 I weighed 254. I am 5ft 4" tall. My BMI is 44. This is the largest I've been all of my life. This number scares me, but I know I did this to myself and have no one else to blame but me. I currently wear size 22 jeans. My goal weight is 150lbs. That's 104lbs I need to lose.
Scary numbers huh? So how exactly am I going to change this?
I am going to warn you that my method to change my body will probably upset quite a few people, but it is my decision as I've seen results with it.
I am on Phentermine 37.5mg. This is my 3rd time on Phentermine as my first two attempts had great results (50lbs lost between both attempts) but due to unseen circumstances of 1# an unfortunate set of circumstances and then 2# being very sick for 3 months. Phentermine helps me not focus on eating all of the time which is creating good eating habits. I don't plan on staying on Phentermine forever, but I've seen results with it and It's going to help me succeed to my goals.
I will be watching my portions that I eat as well as count calories but not focus on the calorie counting as much because I don't know about you but worrying about numbers all day will make me insane. I am taking GNC Be-Wholesome Vitapak which I would recommend to any woman as I've been taking the vitapak for about a week now and I can definitely tell a difference.
Oh, and ofcourse there is exercising! Exercising is half of the battle... don't think I'm going to cut that out. I don't have a gym membership yet but I did purchase a pair of Reebok Easytones for to wear when I am walking and to wear at work. By the way, Reebok Easytones are wonderful.
Huh, looks like this first post became quite the short story. I'm going to wrap it up. I am going to do my first weigh in on Monday and maybe I'll post some pictures.
