I find myself about 100lbs heavier than when I met Brad (6 years ago)... I guess it's true what they say "you get comfortable, and you get happy fat" only he didn't because he is way more active than I am and he has an important thing called good metabolism. We like junk food and soda, we get pizza at least once a week, spaghetti, lasagna and hardly any veggies...all the time.
A couple of weeks ago Kaleb was talking in baby talk to Brayden "look at those chubby cheaks". Then he asked Brad if he was chubby like Brayden when he was a baby. Brad said "no you have always been skinny minny like me". Kaleb then asked if Brayden would be the same way..Man I hope so! Kaleb has been asking about counting calories and wondering what makes a person "bigger". (he doesn't say fat because I had told him before about words hurting people's feelings. So he is carefull with his words..) So, I've reached the point that we need to change what and how we eat. I told Brad that he would be included in this because I cant make two different dinners every night and I don't have the control to not eat what I make for him that's different.
On April 27th, I went to Texas Weight Loss Center to get a plan and make the change. I'm not calling this a diet because diets come and go, and dont work.... this is a lifestyle change for all of us. It's very low carb, low sugar, high protien plan.
This last week I focused on looking up recipies that wouldn't be too off the wall and easilly adaptable for Brad and Kaleb. You should have seen the look on Brad's face when I told him I was making a quiech! Then I explained to him what it was.. I found a few really great low carb blogs and websites. They were very happy with the low carb pizza that I made this week...Brad did suggest a slight change in the sause but still said he liked it. Kaleb and his friend ate it and liked it alot!
I went back to the doctor today and I'm down 7 lbs!
