Wait......how do I do this????

So, after I won my weight loss package from MD Diet, I needed to attend the class where they teach me everything and I have my first weigh in.  I was super nervous.  All week I was trying to fit in all my fat girl faves----Pizza, Cheese Fries, Cafe Rio, Popcorn, and I knew that once I went to the class it was all going to be over.  So, I attended the dreaded class, and the even more dreaded weigh in, and I have to say I L-O-V-E-D it.  When I got to MD Diet, the people were so awesome.  I actually got there a half hour early so I was able to read some of brochures and kind of familiarize myself with what I was about to get myself into.  I signed up and waited for my turn to be called.  When the lady called my name I was actually totally relaxed at that point and ready to get on the scale.  I was expecting an old school medical scale the one the weights that they move back and forth and I was hoping I would not see anything I didn't want to see....I was in luck.  My first weigh in was actually on a very high tech machine that spewed out a little printout.  What was on this printout is very important and I will tell you about that later but the one thing that was glaring at me was 97.  No, I do not weight 97 LBS....I only wish.....this was the actual projected weight loss......HOLLA.  I could not believe that I only had to lose 97 LBS, this was much more manageable than the 110 that I thought I had to lose.  I was 13 LBS less fat than I thought I was......woot woot....

After I did my weigh in I was ushered along to a class.  I was super annoyed that I had to attend a class (do they think I am a 7 year old).  Now I may have had these thoughts when I went into the class (but who wouldn't)....but when I left the class, I was so excited.  I loved it.  It was taught by the owner of MD Diet, and let me tell you, she knows her stuff.  She taught us the most important thing anyone can learn about dieting......how to keep it off.  I have lost weight before, and I have obviously not kept it off...or else I wouldn't be sitting here writing this blog, but what she taught us about pairing the proper foods together and caloric burn, and negative/positive/neutral foods, I was in awe. I actually thought to myself...."I am going to be able to do this, and I am going to be able to keep this off....long term."  It was enlightening...They gave us a brief detox plan, that we are supposed to do for 3 days and then meet with the Doctor and go over our "little printout" from the fancy scale.  I am excited to find out everything that was on the printout, and what the plan is for me.

...that night I went out dinner with some friends at my favorite place the Bombay House.....who's gonna blame a fat girl for getting in her last hurrah before the war.
