Q/A

How much weight do I need to lose? I weigh less than I had expected myself to be. So taking that into consideration, as well as a healthy weight to be at... I think I need to lose about 10- 12 lbs, maybe just keeping myself at around 120lbs, which puts me on the lower end of my Height-Weight category ((118- 135, taking into consideration frame size.))

Why do I want to lose weight? I want to be able to fit into clothes comfortably again. Right now, I have a couple pairs of size 9-work pants, and they're tight as hell on me when they didn't used to be. I have to hit up the XL now because of my tummy and I just feel lumpy in general. It's not even so much about the weight, but more that I just want to feel and fit right in my clothes again. Also, I want to be able to fit into EGL brand clothing and I'm in reality, not THAT far off ((bust 38in, waist 32in compared to bust 33in, waist 29in))

Am I ready to make a permanent lifestyle change? Yes, very much yes. For the past couple years I've known that the way I live isn't healthy in the least. No regular eating schedule... junk food, not eating sometimes altogether and then pigging out and greasy food afterwards. I don't like how I feel in regards to energy, either. I'm always tired and get lazy mid-day; I hate not having energy or falling asleep on a whim. I'm ready to set myself up for a better lifestyle and feel good in my skin, rather than sluggish.

Do I really believe that I should detox? Most definitely. I know I'm not eating so well and on a regular day eat minimal nutritious things. I need to clean out all the crap and then infuse myself with vitamins and the like--- I'm not eating ANY of it.

What can detoxing do for me? Not only clean out my system, but get me used to eating good foods again. And then just not feeling tired--- feeling energetic and more into my life rather than so stand-off-ish.

Do I have the discipline to detox for 21 days or should I pick a shorter program? I contemplated picking a shorter program... but no. I'm ready for this and just want to do it. I want to feel better and more energized. I want to fit into my clothes and feel good in my body. And then afterwards I want to indulge in the reward of wearing the clothes I'd like to wear and look good in them, rather than forced.



I think I want to go through the detox... "reset" myself, so to speak, then just work on it. I figured out that to fit into what I'd like to wear, I need to lose at least 3 inches on all my measurements. I can detox, lose some weight, feel more energized and start eating more healthily, and then just start having a new life with going to the gym, taking care of myself, feeling better in general, and with a new regimen, get to where I'd like to be. I think having gone through the detox'll be a big motivator to me-- "I just went through all that detox crap for 3 weeks- I'm not going to let myself gain it all back again!!"; besides, enough reading on the topic told me well enough that if I even try to eat too much junk food again afterwards, I'll most definitely feel it.

First post in my detox blog!

Either way, this blog is going to be talking about my 21 day detox diet plan and charting my progress. I'll try and write every day to talk about how I'm feeling, if I'm having problems, things like that.

Tomorrow I'm going to take measurements of myself and post them along with a full body picture of myself so I can have a before-and-after comparison later on.

Wish me luck!! <3
