Why I'm Breaking Up With Carbs...

My low carb journey to weight loss!
I'm addicted to fried foods, and things smothered in chili and cheese! It doesn't help that I'm from TEXAS, home of the Fried everything! I'm 5'5 and my goal is to lose about 75lbs. AND I'm getting married next October and I want to look fabulous in a wedding dress!!
I'm blogging the entire experience here. Now for most, this would be easy, buy some veggies, grill your chicken and beef for the week for lunch, dinner, etc. But here is the thing, I do NOT cook, ever! Which is probably the main reason why I'm where I'm at, I lived off of fast food, and I still do. I eat out every single day of the week, so it's a bit more challenging for me to be on this new low carb diet. Oh yeah, it's not a diet, it's a "lifestyle change". I have the help of my wonderful boyfriend who decided he'd join me on this journey. Hope you enjoy reading my blog! xoxo Gina

From My Atkins Blog- Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels

I link this blog through the Atkins blog and that is where I get a lot of my comments on my blog, here is one from yesterday...

In reply to my last blog.

Reply: I have self control but it gets hard sometimes, a lot of times I'm all by myself when I'm eating lunch & dinner, it would be so easy to just order fries, or something fried because after all, no one is there to see me, but I guess that is where my blog helps, because I feel like it's holding me accountable, as well as my readers, and I don't wanna let myself down, and I don't wanna let the people who read my blog down. I've seen people on here that are like, omg i just ate a whole pie, luckily i've never given into temptation, but i haven't really had any temptations around me, just at the drive thru. Last week I came across some fresh m&m cookies, they looked and smelled so good, I turned the container over to just look at the carb amount, 1 cookie was I think about 28 carbs, I seriously contemplated about eating half of it, but then I thought about how much harder and longer i'd have to work out, and how awesome i've been doing, and how I love seeing my results every week, I though about how loose my clothes are and how I look naked, and it just wasn't worth it. I don't wanna mess up and blow up back to where I was before, I've promised myself that I will never ever go back. I seen this sign that says, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" and honestly I kinda just repeat that in my head when i'm in front of something that smells/looks good but is super fattening, I know that once I go a little longer without it, it won't even phase me.
