How many of you want to loose weight? It seems the older I get the more this daily struggle controls my life. Now I do believe that as the saying goes, ‘We are our own worst critics’ but that doesn’t mean we aren’t correct in our assumptions. Most of us are all trying to strive to be better versions of ourselves and to those of you that are I commend you, for whatever that may be worth.

I have decided to make daily posts on this blog-site that will chronical my constant love/hate relationship that I have with working out and my own body image. I know most of you(if not all of you) have done at least one of the most popular and very rarely successful ‘diets’  i.e. Starving Yourself, Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers, South Beach, Potato Soup for 7 days(this one’s for you mom), HGC, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem…should I keep going? I do have a point and that is all of these diets come and go, we may loose weight for a month or two but it always seems to creep back faster than it left.

Let’s not forget the beloved before and after pictures that are all over the internet and in health magazines of those(celebs or not) that have lost so much weight and look amazing. I always look at those and say to myself, ‘WOW, that is amazing…they make it look so easy.’  After looking at photos like that and then looking at myself with disgust I get re-motivated, have a few good weeks and then suddenly fall off the wagon. It’s a never ending fight that never seems to end. I think we look at those pictures and think the change happened over night, but let’s get real it did not!

I believe that true weight loss comes from some serious hard work not those ever changing, mainstream popular diets (Don’t even get me started on liposuction and diet pills). I’m talking about healthy eating and working out. I myself am a 6-day a week Vegan. Yes I know I am a horrible person and a disgrace to ‘True Vegans’, but I believe in and look forward to my cheat days. It’s not like I pig out on hot dogs and chocolate(I actually hate both) on my cheat days I will usually have one meal that consists of some kind of meat, usually beef or chicken…actually always beef or chicken, I do not eat turkey aka vultures and I do not eat pork at all(Pigs are highly toxic animals and in my opinion should NEVER be ingested…I’ll have to do another blog on this topic, I’ve got lots to say!)

Anyways, let’s get back to my point here, so as I said I have decided to do a daily post on this site of my progress, triumphs and struggles as I show you the most candid and probably sometimes embarrassing moments of my daily struggle with weight loss and eating right.

I believe that life should consist of 3 things, spirituality, obtaining knowledge and of course health(mind, body and spirit) and I would like to share my journey with you, plus a little accountability is always nice.

P.S. I want to point out in writing that I only have one follower right now (Thanks Mom!)
