70lbs gone

Jan 12, 2010

Well I am still a fairly new DSer but being 70lbs down from my highest weight has really helped me.  I decided to post this in order to encourage those who are comtemplating the DS.  Yes the first couple of months I was feeling real funky, icky and food either didn't taste right or didn't sit right with me. Even now high carb foods still make me feel a little bloated and/or queasy but I shouldn't be eating those anyway.  Overall my energy levels are through the roof!!!  I am a whole new person because I am reinventing my myself every day.  I am nowhere near goal but trust me I am a true Diva to heart!!  I don't dare go out without being dolled up makeup fresh etc.... Prior to the DS I was probably sooooooo fatigued I just didn't care.  Above all what I appreciate the most about the DS is that I still have days when I miss the mark.  I still eat entirely too many donuts if I am really stressed but unlike before I will actually lose weight instead of gaining 5lbs in a day. Another thing I appreciate is the energy I have.  I walk more voluntarily which never happened before.  The fatigue, malaise, or whatever it was that held me back before is no longer there.  I am trying new things and overall just finding out who I really am.  The energy has helped and I am laughing a whole lot more. Although I laughed alot before but I am finding things just a bit funnier now.  Anyhoo I am gonna stop now but I really think if you wanna try it you should just dive on in!!

Take care

Amanda
