Hi Beautiful SP Sparklers!!!
I've been following the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program for 5 months and I've lost 66 lbs!!!!! I am THRILLED and GRATEFUL!
This year, I've adopted my new health mantra: "Nothing can taste as GREAT as living Strong, Fit, Lean and Healthy Feel!" With each inch and ounce I release, I am further reminded of this Truth!
I've indulged in a lot of decadent eating in my life. I've even enjoyed a great deal of it. But I've never, consistently had the PLEASURE OF LIVING IN A STRONG, FIT, LEAN AND HEALTHY BODY!
I want this for myself!
I deserve to live this experience for the rest of my life!
I claim this Vision!
So, this is my faithful and solemn pledge:
I promise, to myself, to hold and protect this Vision of LIVING in A Strong, Healthy, Fit and Lean Body NOW and until the end of my Life.
I promise to make PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL and SPIRITUAL choices that will honor and uphold this commitment to myself!
I promise to LOVE myself fiercely, and be compassionate with my Body as it manifests this VISION into a TANGIBLE, PHYSICAL REALITY!!!
YES I CAN!!!

My weight loss Journey:
I've been overweight since I was about 5 years old and my pediatrician suggested to my mom that I lose 20 lbs, because even as a 5 year old, I had shapely thighs and calves and rounded hips where most kids are just skinny sticks at that age. My mom thought I just looked so cute that she couldn't possibly put me on a diet.
Well, I just kept rounding out, as it were. I have only weighed below 200 lbs as an adult when I was 18-20. I graduated from high school weighing in at 220 lbs. I spent a year in India on a spiritual retreat, and during that time I lost 65 lbs (from walking everywhere and maintaining a sugar free and vegetarian diet). However, since I hadn't tried to lose the weight, I really couldn 't comprehend the loss in my head. You know, the "fat girl's dysphoria". I just kept seeing myself as heavy, even though I weighed at my lowest 155 lbs. My personal image was so skewed that once I returned to the U.S. and went shopping for clothes with my mother, I called her into the fitting room with me because I was so upset and scared. I told her, "Mom, we are going to get kicked out of here, and maybe arrested if you don't stop changing the tags in these clothes!!!" I just couldn't believe that the sewn in tags showing sizes 10 and 12 were real, as I'd never worn that low a size before.
Sadly, since I couldn't accept myself as thin nor deal with the positive male attention, I began to put on the pounds again as cover. Thankfully, lots of self-work and therapy has helped me be happy with me and learning to truly love and accept myself. I've also learned a lot about how the body processes foods and just how my body works.
It's a journey, but I feel finally ready and with the right program (I pray!) Ideal Proteien to help me shed the unneccessary pounds so I can live a JOYFUL, HEALTHY, FIT, STRONG, and LEAN lifestyle for my remaining years!
I'm grateful to the support I've received thus far on this site, and I look forward to posting my success pictures and stories here as others have done.
P.S. I'm looking for a walking buddy in MD who lives in the 20912/20910 zip code, so if you're interested and available let me know.
I wish you ALL JOY & SUCCESS in achieving your personal goals! - BLISS!

'"If you're tired of starting over quit giving up!"
"Just don't give up. Time does not matter, screw ups do not matter, failures are not ends, they are speed bumps. There is no more wagon to fall off of, there is only the journey. Make small changes and tweaks that you can sustain for a lifetime. Adapt your eating plan to your lifestyle, not the other way around. Then you will see the changes come. Just don't give up. " - ~INDYGIRL

I live in Takoma Park, MD
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson
