A new Beginning

I have decided to start a blog about my journey through losing weight. I am going to be starting a 30 day detox diet tomorrow and I feel that a blog about my journey will help keep me motivated. The 30 day detox consists of eating nothing but fruits and vegetables with peanuts and seeds. The first 10 days will be very hard because I have to eat in small portions and drink tons and tons of water. After 10 days, I think it will be much easier because I can have as much fruit as I want, but still eat everything else. Luckily I love water so drinking as much water as possible won't be hard for me =]. I just have to buy some vitamins so I can keep strong and healthy.  After I am through with the 30 day detox, I plan on doing a 1500 calorie diet. I just really want to create a more healthy lifestyle for myself and I'm so excited about doing this.


I don't know if many of you know this but, I have always been the type of person who struggles with weight. I could gain two pounds and it looks like I've gained 10. My (basically) sister, Chelsey,  has asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding so this has been the big motivation pusher I've needed. I also have just taken a step back and really looked at myself. I really want to start living a healthier lifestyle. With being a photographer, I need to be able to run around and be active to capture the images that I am getting known for taking, without getting out of breath or having body aches because of being over weight. I also don't want to have health problems that can't be helped because of my weight. Basically, I just want to be healthy and look good for me. It would be nice to be happy with the self portraits that I take... 


I don't want to beg for attention with my weight loss.. but I really do need anybody's support who is willing to give it to me. I am known to give up when it gets rough with my diets, because I honestly can say that I have a food addiction and I give up too quickly. If I don't see results right away, I give up. But I am keeping in mind that I didn't put my weight on over night so I can't lose my weight over night! 


Thank you to all of those who follow this blog and I hope that I can really do this and be an inspiration to someone else!!
