I decided to put some before and after pics for my family and friends that don't get to see me very often. For the first almost 25 pounds I've lost. I really can't believe I'm doing this because it probably doesn't seem like a lot to everyone but I honestly feel so different already. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I mean, I have dieted before but I have never gone more than 2 days without sugar and 0 days without carbs... I am learning a whole new way to eat. I will be going on a maintenance plan for 6 weeks and then I'll start the strict diet again. Three more times and I should be at my goal......
Before:
after....
after....Before, I know it is really cute!!
This is me today......
I still have 80 pounds to lose so I don't look ANYTHING like a model but I am making progress and I know that I WILL get to my goal by the end of October. Then hopefully I can make some more cute babies!!! :)

Then hopefully I can make some more cute babies!!! :)I am such a slacker on my blog lately!! I feel so bad because I really love to blog but I am just not getting to it. Probably the biggest reason I haven't blogged is that I haven't done anything interesting. Since I have been dieting, my life is much more boring. Now that it is warming up though, I hope to do lots more things with the kids. Good news Jason has a job now and he is picking up side jobs also. I am SO THANKFUL!! I am thankful to be out of debt and I am hoping to be able to put money in savings for the first time in our marriage. I am going to prepare for hard times when we are able to make some extra money. I really want to be successful. I want to buy a house again someday.
Jake, Jaycee and Kaleb are all doing good. I love having them home. They have been fighting a little more than usual though. They get along really good for the most part. Jake is working on a science project and is working on his bear badge for scouts.
I am doing really good. I can't believe I have stuck with this diet as well as I have. I am dealing with so many emotions now. I can't believe how much I was truely ADDICTED to food and eating. Now, I am on 35 days off of sugar and carbs. I am learning a lot more about cooking and spices. I have been enjoying the food much more now that I can spice them right. I think my food is actually pretty good now. I have lost a total of 24.5 pounds now. I had my first 2 people notice and my clothes are getting looser and looser. It took a while because my clothes were getting REALLY TIGHT before I started this so it is taken this long to have them be loose... hahaha Today when I came out of the bedroom after I got dressed Jake said, "Mom, you really are getting skinny!!!" It made me proud that I have actually done something I said I would even when it got hard. I am looking into starting up a new business too. I would love to feel like I am doing my part to take care of my family. I really think this year is going to be a great one for Jason and I. I'll let you all know more about the business when I learn more and decide for sure... Love you all!!!
