Why am I writing this?

 

This is mostly for me, but if you have found it, I hope it gives you inspiration.

 

In 2006, a mere 2 years a go, I was 5’1 (actually 5 feet, I lie about the inch), a smoker, 110 pounds on a good day, 115 if I had consumed an entire pizza and box of krispy crèmes and a size 2. Two years prior to that, as a sophomore in college I was 100 and a seize 0.

 

Two years later, one week ago today, I was still 5’1, had been a non-smoker for 2 years, weighed 150 pounds exactly, and was quite snug in my size 10 pants. I had had it. I graduated fro college, quit smoking and got into law school, all while gaining 20 pounds a year, A YEAR!!!!!!!!

 

Time to change. Enter South beach.

 

This will chronicle my journey through weight-loss with stories, tips, goals and yes… pictures.

 

As a rule I think any diet that makes you restrict fruit is B-A-D, bad for you, but I certainly cant a afford new clothes again, HELLO poor law student. Drastic times my friends, drastic times. After 2 or 3 or 4 weeks of NO carbs I intend to forego phase 2, (“BUT WAIT!!!!” you scream. I know I’ll gain it all back. No no no, I have a plan) and I will go to weight watcher’s core because weight watchers seems like the smarter way to lose weight, but again drastic times.
