Hello my adoring fans! Have you missed me??? Here is where I sit for today. I have been doing the low-carb method. After reading about how carbs are turned into sugar, studying all the hidden sugar in our food, and my families diabetes history, this is the choice I have made for myself. It works great for me.

I have been losing at a pretty steady pace. I dropped a pant size. I am weighing in at 204 right now. That is very close to my first goal of riding below the 200 mark. After you do low-carbs for too long, your body kind of stops losing. To counteract that affect, I took at few days off. I went on an amazing trip to Vegas with my sister and niece. I chose to "drink" my carbs. I still ate moderate, watching the sugar. Good news...after not weighing in (and not really monitoring my food) I didn't gain. Success!

Today is Monday and I am back on my 14 days "carb cleanse" period. I am for sure feeling better about myself. I have starter really taking time in getting ready for the day. I am dressing better, feeling better, looking better.

This blog can get a little cumbersome at times. I am not sure if anyone is reading it. I feel as though I am 8 years old writing in my diary. I guess that is why I stopped writing. What I have come to figure out is that this blog is not for you. It is for me. This is a way for me to remember what it feels like. To go on this crazy journey and look back. To see the moments when I am high on life...and those moments when I am so low I can't stand.

As for today, I am high. There have been some eye openers. I realize that there are friends who don't invite me places because of my weight. That there have been times when I wasn't asked to be in things because the dress wouldn't have looked right in the pictures. There have been those who thought that I was weak or lazy because of my size. Those whose don't even think to ask me to go for a walk because I obviously couldn't make it. It has been an eye opener to see what people think of you because of size. It is time to show you, them and me that we are all wrong. Enough rant...that is not what this is about.

I am on track and really happy about my progress. Thanks for the support.
