8 Pounds of Fat GONE

This morning I was 218. If I calculate correctly that means that I have lost 8 pounds in my first week on the "skinny people diet". I have even better news...this is NOT a diet! This morning I chowed down on an egg, sausage, and cheddar cheese McMuffin and and Iced cafe latte! This is what the skinny people do (which is exactly what I have replicated!)

Eat a big breakfast with lots of protein (6am)
3 hours later have second "meal" (9am) example: Kashi bar with tablespoon peanut butter
2 hours later (from here on out I eat every 2 hours...I could go three hours earlier because my breakfast was so filling)
2 hours later lunch time (Tuna and veggies)
2 hours later another small meal (string cheese and an apple perhaps)
OK I know what you are thinking because I thought it too....this sounds terrible! These snacks are so healthy, no wonder she is losing weight!!!
Well, duh! Of course they are but let me tell you that IT TAKES DISCIPLINE! If you are really ready to jump on the skinny train you have to do it. The good thing about this is since you are eating so often you actually enjoy the healthy snacks and you never want to binge!!! AND it is really fun thinking about the fat melting off your body. So you, decide...

Secondly, you must MOVE more!!! I am walking/jogging 2 miles a day right now. Start out by taking a walk around the block. Go a little further each day until you are up to 2 miles. Push yourself! Imagine the fat melting off! It really is!

And lastly, don't eat another bite after your healthy dinner (chicken/fish and veggies). It's OK to go to bed a little hungry. Would you rather your body burn your late night snack or the ugly thigh fat?

I am so happy and feeling so hopeful that this really is going to work. I have my couch by my side and I am heading towards success. If you don't have a couch...find someone in your life that is skinny that you really love and know loves you. Make an appointment to talk to them and express to them your dilemma. Ask them to help keep you accountable. Try to find someone who really does work at being skinny though, not a skinny person that eats one big mac a day and nothing else.

  1. Go Liz! I am also trying to eat healthier and more often. I feel so much better when I eat more frequently and avoid scarfing down everything in sight because I am starving! Keep it up! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!
