Special K Challenge or Bust!

Well Melanie and I have this great idea! We figure why not take the special K challenge. Well I really, really, really want to lose weight so bad I'm willing to try anything right now. I remember a few years back when the special K challenged started I ask the doc if I should at least try and she just laughed in my face and said it was a crock. Well I've decide that doc may have been a great doc at one time for me but she also told me to quite smoking and I'd be so healthy ect. Since I quite smoking I gained so much weight that I have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetic, High cholesterol, had a mild heart attack, hairloss I think cause smoking help with a large amount of stress, breathing problems due to smoking. I feel awful all the time. I tried to quite three times finally after the third time it's been three years. But I started quitting 9 years ago and in that time I have gained over 80 pound. Yes it's great that I quit but I feel sick from all the weight I gained. It has put me in such a depression that I have kept to myself for so long. I don't feel great about me. But weight has been an issue all my life. But anyways enough of this feel sorry for me whining again. I thought why not I've tried many things and fail. I'd just add this to my list. But what the heck at least I can say I tried it. I'm so tired at night anyways making a bowl of special k for a meal sounds great to me. So we will see how long this will last but I know for one thing I have to go back to curves starting Monday I never thought I would miss it but I do!

So why not try something new when you can it could lead to a challenge that you can really laugh about later. Or smile that you lost and stuck it out. The choice is yours. Mine is to take it one hour at a time cause food is my addiction. I think about it all the time. Sad but true. One day it will not rule me. I will stand up one day and say "Hi my name is Cherlee I'm a food addict It was a battle that felt good to lose to!

Whatever is your addiction of choice in your life. Embrace it then kiss it good bye. For those who ever eat think about it ask yourself. Self is this really me or do I really want to look like a over size timbit! I say not! Good luck on your journey of addiction. I will at least try to do it for a full day anyways! lol Let you know the outcome! soon if I don't eat my keyboard by that time!!!
