This is really the first time I have tried to stick to a diet since I was a ballet dancer--so as you can expect, there were a few thoughts running through my mind. First, there was the fear. I didn't realize there was such thing as a "low carb" diet when I was in high school, so I had to just eat "low cal" to lose any weight. Dancing 4-5 hours per day meant I was basically hungry all the time! I ate fruit, yogurt, thin soups, and chicken, not ever going over 1500 calories. It SUCKED. So, ever since those days, I have had this fear of being hungry...My second issue was the fear that I won't be able to lose this weight on my diet plan. I don't have time to go to the gym everyday, so I am really depending on my food intake change to really help my weight. I am doing my best to walk, work, and exercise more intentionally, and so far so good. We will see how it all turns out.
I really want to lose this weight, however, I love food and I love cooking, so I don't ever want to sacrifice taste because of a dumb diet. I also don't want to have to be hungry to change my appearance. Those are the two things I will not give up! Hopefully things work out :)
