It’s such a four letter word and I’ve hated it all my life! However, about five weeks ago I decided it was time for a change and I started a new diet. Jason and I both wanted to move forward in life and work towards starting a family but at my current weight I had been advised by several doctors that if I were to get pregnant it would be a high risk pregnancy.
With that in mind about five weeks ago I started a medically supervised weight loss program. There’s really not that much to it. I eat approximately 1200 calories a day, go to the gym (doing cardio and strength training - with a very HOT personal trainer named Jason by the way 
) at least two or three days a week and take an appetite suppressant.
It may seem extreme, but right now it’s working for me which is all I care about. For once in my life I’m dieting and not starving to death. I can even eat Godiva chocolate truffles and enjoy dirty vodka martinis, in moderation of course! I will admit though I miss having potatoes and gravy and green beans for Sunday lunch at my parents house. We still have lunch with them, but I bring my veggies and my scale to make sure I keep on track.
While I’ve only just started the program, in a little under a month I was able to lose 12 pounds. If I continue at that rate I’ll be down to my goal (and not to mention dream) weight in approximately four more months. And at that point, you better believe I will be shopping and getting a new Coach purse!
