The reason for this Blog is to hold myself accountable. I have realized that I have very little willpower, and the one thing that will keep me going is accountability.
I have tried the gamut of diets. In college I tried Weight Watchers for the first time. I lost 20 pounds, but then I stopped and gained it all back. I have gone back to Weight Watchers 4 times, but I can't seem to stick with it. Last year I tried Health Management Resources, a Doctor supervised all liquid diet. I lost 30 pounds, but I didn't stick with the maintenance program and I have gained it all back (plus more). In other words, I need to learn to stick with something and create a lifestyle change. This is where the Blog comes in.
I figure, if I put myself out there, tell the whole world that I am committed to losing 50 pounds, then I will be forced to stick with it. Who knows, maybe people will start to read this. Maybe not. Either way, I will be holding myself accountable. I will be starting this diet by going back on the Health Management Resources all liquid diet. It consists of consuming nothing but shakes that I make by mixing up the packaged powder with water. It actually doesn't taste too bad and it keeps me feeling full. I plan to use up the remaining shakes I have from the previous time I attempted this diet. Once the shakes are gone, I will reassess my progress and decide if I want to stick with the shakes or move on to Weight Watchers. I don't know yet, but I will be posting my starting weight on Sunday night. Then, after work on Monday, and every consecutive Monday, I will posting my weight loss and current weight.
Well...here it goes...Wish me luck!
