What my Diet is and why i choose to use it!aa

Well as most people know i used to be QUITE large... haha who am i kidding i was HUGE! i am a 5'7'' female (i was 22 at the time i started all of this) and i weighed 320lbs! that's a lot!

i decided to start my journey when in June of 2010! i went to a bariatric surgeon and got on the path too gastric bypass! (if u don't know much about this path you have a 6month supervised diet where they give you monthly weigh ins and teach you healthy habits).

at the six month mark i had one final weigh in before they would either approve or deny my surgery, ever insurance is different and they had told me mine required me to lose 1(one)lb in that six months to approve me... and well over the six months following their diet i gained and lost and gained and lost (yoyo as i call it) and the day before my weigh in i had 5lbs to lose and i wanted this sooo bad that i starved myself for 36hrs with only water and hot hot hot steam showers. almost passing out walking in for the weigh in i had done it... i had lost 9 (but was on my death bed lol) i left from the weigh in and went to red robin and ate like a pig!

i got my surgery date of December 8th 2010 and went into the surgery at 320lbs...

for the first 6months it was simple i lost easy because i threw up after eating like everything.. i dropped 100lbs in that time. then it came to the point where i could eat and i am sorry i am a big girl at heart i have cravings i like food i am an eater! some of us are!

so i started my REAL dieting don't be confused gastric bypass is a tool... not a fix... and its only a tool in the beginning because after a yr ur back to normal really .. Ur still hungry u still can eat and u love to do it! lol

the diet worked for a little... then i plateaued for months... let me put it this way i weighed the same from September till January! 185lbs...

in the month of February i kinda did what ever because i was thinking nothing would take the rest off... i got on the scale and saw 191.5lbs i almost s**t myself i was so mad at myself

i started a new diet and its amazing.. 12lbs in 6days...

this is the diet that has always worked for me but until now i haven't stuck to it... i have tweaked it and cheated but i didn't have these great results!

so now i will give u some examples of what it is i eat

some recipes that work!

and tips...

first tip: WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN!!!!!!!!

u need to see at the end of the week what it is u ate! and then u know why it is or isn't working
