I used to diet in secret, because I didn't want anybody to remind me how fat I felt.-Now I tell everyone I know That I'm on the 17 day diet. All the people that used to tell me I didn't need to diet, and would pressure me to eat, and drink bad things, now tell me I look great, and it's amazing the change of expression in their eyes( wow she has willpower, and it's paying off look). It makes me accountable.

I hung my bikini on the wall in the living room, right next to the T.V.. When I'm watching T.V., it motivates me to get up and move around, or exercise, and god forbid I think I'm hungry, I just look at that tiny piece of cloth, and choosing carrots is somehow a lot easier. I can also see my bikini from the dining room, and the kitchen. The smallest clothing item I own is the biggest motivation....who knew

I HATE EXERCISE- so I bribe myself...If I can find a chore that seems like it burns a lot of calories, I do that instead(scrubing the floors on my hands, and knees..Raking the leaves off the lawn, cleaning out the garage...etc. It just makes more sense to my brain than walking in place, and my family loves it as well because not only do I look great, but my house is sparkling...It's amazing how many calories I'll burn to get out of a workout...lol

I am on day 11, and I've lost 10 Lbs so far, so the changes are paying off big time in every facet of my life....I"m HAPPY again!!!-the amazing thing is that everyone that is part of my life is happier, less stressed etc..."If Momma's happy...everyone's happy"
