I am determined to start my diet next week. Really, I am. I'm going grocery shopping this weekend and I'm be buying all the essentials to stay on track. I also plan on walking every day to pick up Brandon at school, and making it a point to go outdoors on the weekends (weather permitting). I could take the easy route and take diet pills, but I don't want to rely on something like that. I fear that once I get off them I'll gain the weight back, and then some. I really think minor lifestyle changes can help me reach my goal. It worked in 2004, after I had Brandon and wanted to lose a few pounds for my high school reunion. I'm sure I can do it again.
I just have to keep telling myself "I can do this, I can do this", and shut my eyes when I'm anywhere near the vecinity of sweets!
Do NOT go the diet pill route. Regardless of who gives them a thumbs up, all the pills listed on that site have no proven results and the side effects (or rather, the ill-effects) from taking them can be very devasting to your health. Kidney, liver, and heart failure all rank up there. You don't notice the problems until it's too late. Same for "natural" weight loss products (Herbalife, etc). Stick with what YOUR doctor tells you is SAFE FOR YOU.
