With that said, I went out on April 1 and bought myself slim fast shakes to last me two weeks. I bought myself a scale to keep tabs. And I grabbed a body cleanser from GNC to help clear my system. Because if John Wayne died with 30 pounds of waste in his system, the least I can do when I'm trying to lose weight is to make sure I don't have the same issue. And if I do, I can do something about it.
My goal is to keep my calorie intake to roughly 1000 a day. Doing calculations, if I have one Carnation Instant breakfast with a scoop of protein in the morning, four shakes throughout the day, and tea with a dash of skim milk, I'll hit that. I figure I don't eat much during the day anyways, so this should not be overly hard. The only issue I know I'll have a hard time with is during dinner while I'm sipping my shake while the boys chow down on solid food.
While I write this blog (April 2) I have four weeks until the first wedding we have to attend. Instead of having a huge long term goal which I know I'd fail, I'm going to take this week by week. So by next Sunday I'll post how I did. Now, I expect comments from you guys and you can go ahead and tell me how awful this is. That's ok. Just know that while I understand where you are coming from, I'm still going to do this. Because if I don't, I'm going to lose more hope and I can't do that. If this doesn't work than I can concede, and think of something else. While you grumble, at least wish me luck =)

Well. Obviously, I don't go by Big Fat Gini for no reason. Hell. I just made out with a Cadbury Egg in an effort to cope with my awful morning. Emotional eating anyone?
I can't say that I've tried it all. But, I CAN say that I've tried plenty of things that worked, and none of them were easy. And I will leave it at that because I don't want to lecture you.
Good luck. I hope that you'll find a way to lose weight and feel good about yourself!
Do you know your average calorie intake? I don't eat much myself and weight gain without eating lots might mean dead metabolism. I killed my metabolism so I know all about that first hand.
What you plan to do is extreme but you are an adult. Just as long as you don't make it our a long term habit, you won't be shortening your life for too long.
