2.24.08: so i'm pretty wishy-washy

Dear Plumpy Pad,   Odd little trait I have, huh? I appear with a vengence for a week or so and then BAM! I disappear for months!   I am no longer a vegan, I was successful for 9 weeks before I couldn't stand my cheese cravings anymore... I am still a vegetarian.   You would think that cutting meat out of my life would help pull off some pudge, but no. I am WAY too fond of fats to let anything healthy happen!!   I posted some full body shots of myself wearing my Sunday house-cleaning finest today. I figure I'll put them here too, just so there is no way I can forget what I am trying STOP!     Yes... Yes... I know. My husband is SUCH a lucky man! :party:   I am back on my calorie wagon. I have searched far and wide for as wonderful of a weight loss hub as there is here on the lapband site, but there just isn't one! I am hereto STAY! I swear I am going to give it my all this time!   xoxox, Bridget

12.17.07: odd realizations...

Dear Plumpy Pad,   So things are going really well. I am actually drinking the amounts of water you're supposed to drink on a daily basis, and I feel like my body is happy with that! I used to only drink when I was thirsty, and then I was drinking mainly diet soda. I have a feeling I was never really hydrated, seeing as I only peed like once a day... MAYBE twice on a rare occasion.   The other thing I've realized is that it is actually simple to be a vegetarian. When I think back on all the times I tried to be a vegetarian in the past and failed because it was "too hard" I want to slap myself! The vegetarian part is simple... It's the vegan part that is going to be tricky! I have yet to find real vegan cheese, because the soy cheese they sell at the store has niacin (which is apparently milk protein) in it. I am going to have to make decisions soon as to what foods I will accept as vegan, because it seems niacin is in EVERYTHING!   The other thing I am super excited about is my detoxification fast I am going to begin this Wednesday. I will start the fast with 3 full days of only eating raw fruits and vege's along with fresh pressed juices (I borrowed mom's juicer!). Then on Saturday I begin the water fast, where I will consume nothing but water for 10 full days. This is supposed to give my body a rest from digesting foods so it can focus on digesting damaged, diseased, or extra cells... The super cool part of this is that the final day of the water fast is on December 31st! This means I begin the new year fresh... LITERALLY! After the 10 day water fast is complete, I'll do 3 days of juice fasting followed by 3 days of raw foods and juice to get my stomach used to food again. I am very excited, because I am doing it for the right reasons... The weight loss will just be an extra bonus!!   Anyways... I'll keep you posted on my progress.

12.16.07: holy cow, where did i go?

Dear Plumpy Pad,   It's been over 4 months since my last confession, and let me set things straight right up front: I went on vacation in August and I quit watching what I ate. I am SHOCKED that I am only up 4lbs. from where I was back then!   In other updates, I am now a vegan. I am very passionate about animals, and the animal cruelty committed daily on factory farms makes me sick. I have a lot of strong opinions and views... and decided to take the leap from vegetarian to vegan. It's definitely an added bonus for weight loss that cheese and dairy are no longer welcome in my tummy!   I hope I don't lose touch with you again Plumpy Pad!!
