The Weight is Over: Week 1

How it Started:
About a month and a half ago we were celebrating my sister Tasha's birthday with some of my sisters at my place. We were having a gay ol' time and then Jen mentioned how Diane (our former step-mother) has lost a lot of weight. We were all intrigued so I ended up calling her and asking her about it.

I thought about it some, at first but forgot about it initially because I knew Adam would kill me if I tried some new program AGAIN. Not that he doesn't support me in every way possible, but he just didn't want me to get all excited and then depressed over something, only to gain more weight from it. Not that I've done that before! (Ha only my whole life - a few Adam has now sadly had to witness).

And it's not just the money- although hello that is important too, but its the emotions of it and it affects your whole life.

Something just couldn't let me forget it. I can't explain it, but one day I looked at Diane's pics on facebook. And she like me has tried tons of diets so I emailed her again asking her about it, and something really stood out for me. She said you aren't normally hungry. The more and more I heard about it, I was really interested to learn about the WIO, the Weight is Over program.

So here were the steps I took before I met with Jason Whitney, the president of the company.

STEP ONE: HUSBAND APPROVAL
I'm telling you, it really took some convincing. Thank you Adam for being so protective and worried about me always. I love that! He knew I was determined to do it and was willing to give it my all, so I got his 'blessing'

STEP TWO: MENTAL PREP
Sounds silly but I had to really prepare myself for this. 'Calling upon all strength' or something like that. You must gird up your loins or something to get ready lol.

STEP THREE: VIDEO INSTRUCTION
Jason wanted me to watch the instructional videos. He said they were by no means professional or anything, but really explained the program etc. I watched them and seriously I became more intrigued. It really seemed like there is something to this 'pancreas cleanse'.

First Week
So I met with Jason and he explained the program. He was so nice and let me sample a ton of things and made me my first shake (I was starting that very day). They have you fast the first day so that they can take your stats etc. Jason warned me about the first week being tough. I felt really really good about things and didn't think much of his warning. I am strong, Oh Holly, might God of thunder. Ok just kidding, but I felt pretty tough. Another thing that impressed me is that with their approach they also work on addressing the emotional issues.
And honestly the first day wasn't bad at all because I was all pumped. And then day 2-4 happened. Holy bitchville batman. Don't believe me, here is my journal entry from Saturday:


. But I’m just so
mad. When I’m so hungry and can’t eat
anything and my stomach has been having that icky healthy feeling (lol) and to
smell cinnamon and baked apples and Adam’s fried potatoes. So when we wouldn’t start the laundry like I
asked, I just went ballistic on him.
Totally ape-shit. I just hate how
I ask him to do something and he doesn’t do it for like an hour. Just once I’d like the laundry to be done at
a decent hour so I can actually fold the damn clothes the same day. Why must I harp on him and have to remind him
every time to switch it. IT drives me
nutty.
I think being tired, having PMS, having bulging disks and
pinched nerves all along my back, and being hungrier than hell makes me a total
raving bitch. Molly (my evil twin), has
definitely come out to play.

Yeah, that bad. Oh my darling Adam I am so sorry.
Overall Results:
So I went in and Jeremy asked me how the first week went and I laughed. I told him about my mental breakdown. He told me that was because of the hormones etc. But I told him how I started feeling a lot better about Day 5.
So guess how much I lost?
26.5 lbs.
In one week.............so hells yeah I'm sticking to the diet peeps
