I’m 40 years-old and at my heaviest I was 270 in 2003. (I’m 5 ft. 6). In December 2005 I weighed 260 so I tried the South Beach and I dropped 60-65 pounds. I felt dang good! However, two years later I married the love of my life and I got way too comfortable in my new life with cooking for someone and ballooned back up to 256. All of my adult life I have taken care of others and neglected and abused my poor body.
Something has snapped inside of me. I want this weight gone. I’m not looking to get to a size 6 or the stupid size 0… Size 0, give me a break. I would be thrilled to get down to a size 16, a 12 would be perfect for me. But 16 is the biggest I ever want to be again. Right now I’m in between 2x and a 3x.
I’m doing the Dukan Diet with some of my own modifications. I need this to fit me for life. Some of my modification are small, like the Phase I (Attack Phase), your not suppose to eat veggies until the second week. I’m eating some veggies, but if that is the worst of my offense I think I’m doing pretty darn good!
