Day 2- I just took my 2 morning pills and now I'm downing my 3 glasses of water that are suggested. Drinking a lot of water isn't as hard as I thought it would be but I do pee a lot. I do feel accomplished when I drink so much water. I didn't know if I would be able to but it's not as bad as I thought.

The hardest part is not eating in the morning. I take the pills around 6:30 am and I'm not supposed to eat for 2-3 hours but I am hungry. I think I just have to let it leave my mind and try not to let it bug me. Usually if I can occupy my mind with thoughts that aren't "I wish I could eat" or "Only 2 more hours" then I'll be fine. The constant reminder that I am not allowed to eat only makes my stomache growl louder.

I had an interesting conversation with my sister yesterday about PCOS (Polysystic ovary syndrome) not sure all the details about it so look it up if you'd like. My sister has it and it's hereditary as far as I know. I went to get tested about a year ago and my OBGYN told me I didn't need to be tested. The information my sister gathered yesterday, however, seemed to prove otherwise. Basically to sum it up, if I have PCOS it could be one of the contributing factors to my weight (among other things). I am going to try to find a health clinic and see if they will test me for that, and I will let you guys know the result.

I'm going to the grocery store today to pick up some food hopefully I will make good decisions. I will definitely eat before hand because like many people I know, if I go to the grocery store on an empty stomach...I want to eat EVERYTHING. I'm so blessed to work at the job I'm at (as a nanny) because the parents buy TONS of produce (and produce is expensive)

Anyways thought I'm going strong on day 2 hopefully this motivation won't die down!!

Until Next Time,

Healthe Trim

So a last week I purchased (or rather my mother purchased) a single bottle (30 days worth of pills) of healthe trim, a dietary supplement. It is supposed to increase my energy level, speed up my metabolism, and curve my appetite among many other healthy vitamins and junk in it to help with my over all well being. I started taking them today and right after I decided to create this blog.

I want some where to put down my thoughts and feelings and also record this next month to see if this healthe trim actually works.

Here's how it works: 2 pills when you wake up (today I took them at 6:30am) with lots of water and no food for 2-3 hours after you take them. Then you take 2 more at lunch. Exercise and a low calorie diet will help but not necessary (I intend to try)

Those of you who know me...know that my weight is no laughing matter although when it's brought up I'm quick to make jokes about it and write it off as "No big deal" but please don't be mistake by my rather blase attitude I understand the severity of my "condition" which is another reason I started this blog...so that I could get serious. I'm tired of starting something and one or 2 days in quitting because I don't like it or my will power isn't there. I know I can do it. I've done things harder and the common phrase that women like to tell other women to encourage them when they are loosing weight (if your skinny please for your health never say this to a fat girl) "Nothing taste as good as skinny feels" is an uplifting quote but that works more for the women who have been skinny. You see with me, for as long as I can remember, I've been plus size. I was never happy with it but I think I've grown content. Which is in excusable I know but it's the truth. I've gotten comfortable with having..."more to love" so to speak but there are things that are starting to get in my way and I'm ready to change them. So I will begin my journey and I will blog as much as possible. Feel free to comment with encouraging words and opinions but know that I will not always take your advice but I will always listen and...in this case, read what you have to say.


Until next time,
Elizabeth
