No more dieting!!!!

People have started telling me that I need to start this diet or that diet. I lost so much way the first few weeks on the Atkins diet. Do the special K cereal diet, it is easy it really works. Well no matter how many times I tell people I am not interested in going on a diet, they are shocked. Well aren't you trying to lose weigh this worked so well for me. YES I am trying to lose, and thank you very much I seem to be doing pretty good without your advice. You see I have lost 11lbs all on my own. Now I know that it is only one-two pounds a week, but really people I am changing my life. I don't want to deprive myself and end up six months down the road and have gained all my weight back plus some. I have come to the conclusion that everyone just want to easy way out. Yes what I am doing is hard, it takes thoughtful planning and working hard, but it is something that is completely worth it to me. Nothing that is easy is worthwhile. When you work hard for something it means more. I am not doing this journey so that I have the amazing body. That is the most shallow thing I think you can want for yourself. I am doing this for my health and happiness. I want to run, play, hike, bike, chase my daughter and be down right silly. I know that those things may not mean the most to someone, but this is why I am working at this, I want a long happy active life. I want to look back and be proud of what I was able to accomplish. This is now about losing the weight the fastest or wearing a size five pants. This is not something that is as trivial as those things I want my daughter to look back and day I had a mom that played with me, We went hiking or riding every weekend. I want to create memories with my family. S NO I will not do any diet that you tell me about and YES I will continue to lose, it will be my terms and my terms only. It will take me longer, but in the end I know that I will keep it off and will be on that roller coaster that other people seem to be on. This is not about other people this is about me and what is best for my body!
