Diet Progress: Start of Week 2

I'm now into week 2 of my diet. While I have made some changes last week, I find that it is very tempting to fall back into old habits.

Diet Progress: Day 4

No pictures today because I was out most of the day yesterday. :frown: Breakfast: Black currant black tea with Equal sweetener and yogurt Lunch: One slice of veggie meatloaf, one scoop of mashed potatoes, and a big salad I went out to eat for dinner to an Italian place last night.

Today is the first official day of my diet. Since the surgery in December, I have gained about 23lbs. :shock: Turning 21 in January and being in a happy relationship with someone who also loves to cook, eat, and drink didn't help the situation, either. :wink: At my heaviest, I was 230lbs and wearing a size 22/24 in women's clothing. This was when I was in 7th/8th grade, about 15 years old. Going into high school in 2003, I made some serious changes in my diet and exercise routine. I became a vegetarian ... Continue Reading
