So Thursday marked the one week point of me living like a skinny person. This means I was eating 6 small meals a day. The meals were every 2-3 hours, they were high protein and low carb, and they were so filling and yummy!!! In addition, 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week is added in. After losing 8 pounds (yes 8 not 7!!) I started to get scale obsessed. I have weighed every day because it is fun watching the fat melt off so fast!!!
This weekend I continued on the path to success. I still have not binged once! It has been a total of 11 days since I started and still no binge! I literally have never gone more than 3 days without a binge. Going those 3 days without a binge literally was like watching a miracle before my eyes...which is probably why I would freak out and crack under pressure which would then lead to a binge.
This weekend I was the night nurse for my sister. For those who don't know what that means I'll explain really quick. This means that I moved into my sister's house to help take care of their newborn baby for the weekend. Which in return means, I got NO SLEEP! In addition to getting no sleep, there was food everywhere! Yall, it didn't even phase me. I did not stray ONCE. You see, I am setting myself up for success!! I'm not missing out on life or beating myself with discipline. Of course self-control is huge and discipline is key in doing this but I had been so satisfied from eating all day long that I was equipped with armor once thrown into the battle! It was so fun and easy to watch myself say no to mac n cheese and sister shubert rolls WITHOUT hesitation! I instead had cherry tomatoes and half a piece of whole wheat pita bread with my filet! I was sitting there eating thinking..."I mean, I am eating a steak and red wine! Why would I complain right now???" It was so good and I enjoyed every bite.
So this morning I got on the scale and was 218. Nope, I have not lost anything since Thursday but I am not going to get discouraged. I've still lost 8 pounds in 11 days and I know that I am not going to give up or binge because this is my new lifestyle and quite frankly, it feels great and is so easy AS LONG AS I stick to eating every 2-3 hours. The second I stop doing that...I am just preparing myself for a dreaded binge.
Signing off with...
EAT YOUR BREAKFAST FOOLS!!!
Now that's what we call TOUGH LOVE!!! You'll thank me for it just like I thank my Garland for it daily.

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.

7 pounds in 7 days
It has been exactly one week since I started living the life of a skinny person. I have simply eaten every 2-3 hours...high protein low fat foods. I have stayed satisfied and therefore not binged ONCE. I can't remember that last time I was binge free for more than 2 days. That third day, I would always go crazy and just give up.
I was 226 pounds 7 days ago and this morning I weighed in at 119. 7 Pounds gone in one week!
HOWEVER...I am staying calm. I fear the part of me that talks down to myself and forces me to self-sabotage. That is why I am so so so so so blessed to have my best friend, Garland calling me throughout the day to check on me. She asks me what I've eaten, what I'm planning on eating next, and she asks me what I plan to do for exercise that afternoon. She and her husband continue to tell me daily that if the exercise starts to feel easy it isn't enough. So on my walks once I've caught my breath, I start jogging. I can only run about a minute at a time right now.
Tripp is helping me so much having gone before me on this never ending journey. This is a lifestyle and I know I can do it because I am always satisfied. Please pray with me that I can stay controlled, not get emotionally beaten down, and that I continue to practice discipline. I want to be healthy. I've decided to get these unwanted 60 pounds of fat off my body. I am a fighter and I will win this! No matter how long it takes. (But at this rate, I could be there by Christmas!!)

TRIPP ATKINS
Tripp joined the Skinny Club 2 years ago and is helping me so much! Just wanted to add that to my blog below. :) He actually wanted me to cut out all alcohol the first 2 weeks but Coach Garland said I didn't have too. Congrats to Tripp for becoming a skinny and disciplined hotty! I pray I will follow in his footsteps!
THINK AHEAD
Cameron and Garland Weavil (Sanders) are two of the hottest people I know and are teaching me how to be skinny. They told me a little secret that is changing my life. ALWAYS BE ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOUR BODY. Meaning...Since I am eating about every two hours, I have to think fast because that's a lot of eating! (Funny isn't it? I've trained myself to try and FORGET food and these skinny people are telling me to NEVER forget food but instead to EAT EAT EAT!) So anyways, About an hour after I have eating one of my snacks, I need to start thinking about what my next snack is going to be!! If I forget to eat, I'm screwed. That is where a binge comes into play. It's all about setting yourself up for success and not failure.
It is crazy that the last 7 months I have busted my butt in the gym, blurted out my numbers and thoughts on the web, and handled the food as if it were my enemy.
FOOD IS NOT MY ENEMY!!! I need it every two-three hours to assist me in losing weight! I love it!
Yall, seriously I have lost 6 pounds in 3 days. My body is burning fat now that I am doing the right thing.
I am very excited and hopeful. My biggest mountain to climb during this whole thing is called DISCIPLINE. If you don't practice discipline and eat when, how and what you are suppose to...you can not be in the skinny club. Sorry. :(

Keeping Calm and Carrying On.
Liz Life Change Plan: Life Coach-Garland Sanders
Starting Weight 226 pounds/Size 18
Goal Weight 160 pounds/ Size 8-10 (Min 150 pounds/Size6-8)
66 Pounds to lose
2 pounds a week= 33 weeks/ 33 weeks= 8 months/ June 2012

Dealing with issues and staying calm. Not eating my feelings. Praying for strength. Never allowing myself to get hungry. Eating less and moving more. Understanding that I am in control and I must practice self-discipline. All skinny people have to stay controlled. Fat=a loss of self-control. If I want it as much as I say I do, I must be strong…keep calm and carry on. Staying healthy and living a long life for my son. Being the best looking I can be for my hot husband.
End reward: Doing a major photo shoot and article to be published with Garland on our journey to becoming who we were meant to be.
I am a skinny person trapped in a fat suit ready to break free.
