Flat Belly Diet

I am amazed at how much dedication one must have in order for a life style change to work. It is difficult when there are a million other things happening in your life.

I have been fluctuating between 220 and 225. I know this weight is not healthy for me, but what am I suppose to do? I can't completely forget about school and work. Something wasn't clicking, and I was starting to fall behind and not care about school and work. So I decided for the last two weeks, I am taking me time. That me time was not very productive and I felt myself slipping into a depression.

So I am making a change to be active in my life. If I focus on me I do not feel as stressed, but I do feel guilty for not spending the time on school work. A way to focus on me that is productive is getting healthy. My mom decided to try the Flat Belly Diet and in two weeks, her belly is much smaller. I am jealous!

I do not know if it will work for me. I gained 3 lbs overnight, which I know is just water retention... but still... a little discouraging. The plan starts with a 4-day anti-bloat plan. 2 items I have had so far makes want to gag, but surprisingly I love the food. I was leary about putting flax seed oil in my smoothies, but it actually makes them taste better. This whole program is focused on eating healthier including eating MUFAs (MonoUnsaturated Fatty Acids). It takes your attitude and changes it because there is a connection between your belly and your mind that I do not comprehend just yet.

Anyway the Flat Belly Diet takes just 32 days, which is enough time to create new habits. So my configurations, I will be done on Wednesday, April 21. I will see if any weight and inches have been lost by then!

Amazing!

I am amazed! Because of how tight money is getting, I have decided to eat out less and eat in more. I have been eating in for 2 weeks now. I have lost four pounds. I am seriously amazed. Now I am back down to 221 lbs. I had gained weight after school started throughout the first 4 to 6 weeks.

Now I have decided to eat in a lot more, though it will be difficult.

I also went and worked out today. It has been about a month since I worked out last. I need to work out more often!
