Call me crazy, call me stupid, call me brave, but I have made the ultimate decision in a fat girl's life. 

I'm going on a diet. 

Well, actually, I'm on a diet, as of two days ago.  So far, it's going good. 1200 calories a day and half an hour of exercise. Luckily I have a buddy to go through it with, my lovely sister.

I have been on diets before, all of which have been disastrous because I took them too seriously. This time around, I'm trying to be clever about it. No starving myself and no harsh rules which eliminate any kind of carbohydrate from my diet.

If I want the piece of cake, I'll eat it. I'll just try to keep it to a minimum. 

Well, I gotta get to work now. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I keep up the energizing spirit I need to lose this weight!

Catch ya later:)

Hi, Ava Rose!

That's so excellent! I'm a huge fan of eating right and exercising, but rather than look at it as going on a diet, I'd suggest thinking about it more as a lifestyle change. Diets are too faddy and make you feel restricted, i.e. you can only eat this and never, ever eat that! LOL!

Portion control is the biggest thing to keep in mind. If possible, don't make enough of any meal to have leftovers, so that you're not tempted to eat them, and limit yourself to a small serving of everything. I'm a big fan of low-fat, reduced-fat, and fat-free foods, but even those have calories. Which brings me to 100-calorie snack packs! Those are the best idea! Yummy treats in perfectly proportioned little snack packs. SlimFast is also a great way to get you going in the right direction!

And with exercise, start slowly, then work up to more intense workouts!

And don't deny yourself, either. When you want dessert, just keep the portions small!

Good luck!

*hugs*

Hi Ava! I know how hard it is to diet, and I'm so glad you have a diet buddy- that will make it SO much easier. I wish you lots and lots of success in reaching your goal. It sounds like you have a very doable plan so I'm sure you will! Good Luck!!

Have a great weekend!
