From Crystal

We will still show the workout video, but want to put Crystal's diary in here as I KNOW many people can relate to this. Perfect example of needing to go back to the "5 Steps" post and be sure you do each of those steps before doing anything else! Thanks for sharing Crystal.

Day 1     191.5

Like reading the number wasn't bad enough, the pictures are horrible. Five pounds can creep on easily but 18??? I can actually feel every one of these 18 pounds. I feel disgusting. I don't even want to go out in public because I feel so awful. My energy level, self esteem, and sex drive have dropped significantly. I don't want my own husband to see me because I'm so ashamed of how I've let myself go.  No more pity parties, excuses, or procrastinating...it starts now. I'm so ready. I WILL weigh 155 by July 15th.  I'll will weigh in every 2 weeks and blog every week. See you next Sunday skinny!!

Ten pounds lighter I am extremely excited and proud of myself for sticking it out through this tough week.  It hasn't been easy. I started the challenge on my period. Ladies out there can relate to the bloated feeling followed my cramps and cravings.  I was so over the weight that getting through that week was not too bad.  Last weekend the detox off the sugar really effected my mood. I realized how unhealthly my emotional attachment was to food. If I wasn't eating bread or sugar what was there to look forward too? How sad.  I soon noticed my link to food and pleasure was gone but so was my negative self talk that use to follow my binges of bad food. Now that was freeing!  I no longer would obsess about what I had just eaten and how bad I felt for doing it.  I still look forward to yummy treats, but they're treats I've made with good ingredients. Food ruled my world a lot more than I care to admit.  Now I'm taking control, and most of all, responsibility for what I'm putting in my body. I use to wait for people around me to order, if they were good than so was I.  That's in the past. Now, I order first and do it because I have goals I'm trying to meet no matter how delicious that bad food looks.  I cannot keep blaming the environment and people around me for my bad food choices.  I'm feeling great and ready to make this a life change not a 60 day change.
