The Diet

Ok so a little background....about 2 1/2 years ago, between my ex-husband being a dick and my great-grandmother (who practically raised me) dying, my anxiety was thru the roof!! So my doctor put me on Lexapro. Now, I have to admit, that Lexapro definitely helped me with my anxiety...it was completely gone! I was on it for about 10 months. But, in the 10 months, I managed to gain 70 POUNDS! Yes, 70 POUNDS! UGH!

My mother plans on taking me and my fiance and my two little girls to Disney World the week of Thanksgiving this year. (Im so excited!! I have never been!!!) But I dont want to go to Disney and totally embarrass myself or miss out on any of the rides I am SOOO looking forward to by not being able to FIT into the rides!!!

Starting tomorrow, my goal is to lose 40 pounds between now and the week of Thanksgiving (when we go to Disney). I think it is realistic....its an average of about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. I once went on weight watchers and lost about 30 pounds, then gained that plus 40 pounds back once I went on Lexapro. I know I can lose the weight, its just the motivation to get started thats the hardest.

So, I will start my weight loss journey tomorrow...and hope that it gets off to a great start because thats all I need!!!

BEFORE THE WEIGHT GAIN

NOW (MY NEW BEFORE PICTURE)

Thats me with my wonderful fiance...isnt it CRAZY what a little stress can do to you??
