South Beach Lifestyle

So, I started the South Beach Diet last week. This week went pretty well. I am not going to reveal how much I lost yet, until after my second week. Because if I don't lose as much this week, or I gain anything back, I don't want you to know. I wasn't going to Blog about my new lifestyle change because I really don't want to be responsible to anyone. I don't want people to expect too much from me. I have failed at diets before and I have done really well before, only to fail again later. So it is hard for me to put myself out there and 1) admit I have a problem and 2) tell others that I am attempting to fix said problem. I guess I have a hard time believing that people can change, mostly because of my lack of will power. Now, I don't want a bunch of comments left about how I can do it and I have the power within myself... I know all this. I just really would like to succeed this time without getting pregnant in the middle of it! That is what has happened the last 2 times I had any dieting success! But now, I have a lot further to go than I ever have. But I have made it through the whole first week. For those of you unfamiliar with South Beach, for the first 2 weeks I can't have any carbs the first 2 weeks. That means no sugar, no fruit, no grains at all, no potatoes, no carrots, no corn. After the first 2 weeks I can gradually add in some good carbs. This is what my doctor really wants me to do. She said that it is the best diet for diabetics so I am going to go for it. I am really going to give it my best. And hey, if I have made it the first week without any cheating at all, I am doing very well for myself. So here I go. Week one... operation Remove The Gut over.
