I swear everyone in the world worries about their weight, including yours truly. Shedding a few pounds would not hurt me, I’ll admit it. And with all these graduation parties and dinners out, I may need to lose a little more than a few.
10 pounds is a good goal I think.
I’ve tried so many times to get fit before, and I come close, but always fail in the end. I hate being defeated, but for some reason I can never achieve my goal. It’s a deadly combination of loving food too much, and having no self-control.
But how do I gain self-control? This my friend, is the question that I have yet to find the answer to.
I think that keeping some kind of record or journal will help me figure things out, so I’m going to blog about it. 10 pounds, one month.
I’m done with dumb diets though. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve tried many fad diets, and none have yet to work.
I need to set simple rules that will make small changes, but will lead to results.
I’ll be thinking about these rules, and I’ll post them tomorrow sometime.
Got any suggestions?

Rules eh? I am very good at making rules and various plans. Problem is keeping and adhering to them.
A simple rule I started to follow recently is to have one meal consisting of fruits only since they are best eaten on an empty stomach. They go through your system quickly and are healthy. I usually make breakfast my fruit only meal. Tea and oranges, yum.
Another one I have (which is very obvious) is ‘don’t drink your calories.’ I try to stick to only tea and water so that I can save up my calories for real food.
My last one: “salad is the main dish” -as in have at least one meal consisting mostly of lettuce and vegetables.
If you make it to my blog, you will of course see that I am not very good yet at following my own rules….
Good luck.
Thanks for the rules :]
I know what you mean though, making them is easy, but following them is a whole different story.
And I thought rules were made to be broken? I guess not if you actually want to make a difference :]
I wish you luck on your diet journey! I’ll be sure to check back to your blog, and watch you transform.
