Don't ask where have I been. I am here to tell you all that I just watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly dead" and coupled with the conversation I had with my husband today, I am done with being overweight.

It needs to be said I had four babies in five years, last one being 11 months old.  I lost some of the weight BUT I got stuck with this 3 month pregnancy looking stomach that is not at all attractive.  It looks the worst in clothes and yes we do have to wear those don't we?

I will be juicing for a ten day detox and then if all goes well, continuing to juice and change my diet.  Apparently these changes do not mean I cannot have the occasional favorite however they cannot be my staples.

My downfall has always been sweets.........cookies, cakes, ice cream, whole milk, chips.  I have SEVERELY cut back as we do not feed them to our children and therefore do not keep as much of it in the house as we used to, however, I still eat them more regularly that I should.

After finishing watching the documentary I made sure to go to the kitchen and eat the last of the chocolate chip cookies that were still here (4).

I will post the pic of my before later today and since we have also been on a financial overhaul, in a months time my juicer will be purchased.  In the meantime I will start to prepare by changing some of the little things.

I will document this journey via this blog and my prayer is that it will encourage someone else to take control of their bodies and stop treating it like a toilet and start treating it like a waterfall. Guilty as charged and now I am learning better I will do it no more.

Please comment and share this information with everyone.  Thanks for the support.  I endeavor to be as honest as possible and as candid so that this journey is beneficial to all of us.

I am no blog expert however by the end of this journey I may learn a thing or two.

THE GOAL IS TO BE HEALTHY AND FIT......WEIGHING 140LBS IN A YEAR.   I WILL PROBABLY GET THERE IN A MONTH BY JUICING AND EXERCISE, HOWEVER I WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU MY CHALLENGES AND CHANGES OVER THE NEXT YEAR!!!

Signed,

Disgusted and Excited  :)
