Thus begins the long journey of losing weight...

I have been battling losing weight for 3 years now. I know, that's not very long. Shaddup. In high school I was super skinny and NEVER had to work for it. I always ignored everyone who told me it would catch up eventually. The knew NOTHING!! Well, actually they were right. Dern it!

Yesterday I went next door to a naturopath who put me on a very VERY strict diet for the next 6 weeks. It isn't so bad actually. It's a lot of what I'm already eating but just in smaller portions. Portion control is my problem. Instead of eating the 1 serving of pot stickers I eat 3. I mean come on! 5 pot stickers doth not make 1 serving! Seriously dude!

I have to give myself shots every morning. Hahahahahaaaa! I thought the doctor was crazy!

side note: for those of you who don't know, even the thought of needles makes me dizzy. I cant even look at needles in a movie without grimacing and hiding. Matt thinks it's funny, I do not.

So this morning when I was getting ready to give myself a shot Claire and Lea stood there plugging their ears screaming NOOOOO!!!! NOT a good way to cheer on someone who is needle phobic!

The needles are teeny tiny. Think insulin needles. I don't feel a thing actually. Well, that's a lie. I have to punch the skin I'm poking and I get so freaked out from the shot that I end up squeezing my skin super hard. So I feel the squeeze-read iron death grip on my stomach!

So right now I'm 2 days into the 42. These are the easiest days because I'm supposed to eat like a king and then start my low cal. diet tomorrow. We'll see how I'm feeling in a few days!
