Day One of My Weight Loss Journey

Well, today is Day One of my weight loss journey. In the past three years, I have been struggling with the effects of rheumatoid arthritis so over that time I have been in so much pain that it is hard for me to walk let alone exercise. I know that I should have tried harder to cut back on my eating, but the stiffer I got the more I ate. What can I say, I got fat! I guess it takes looking at myself in pictures to see how big I have gotten but now I am ready to take the next step. In the past, I tried the Atkins diet but it did not work for me. I grew up on a farm so I was raised with the idea that bread and vegetables are served at every meal, so cutting all carbs from my diet was almost impossible. After looking over the Kimkins diet, I have decided that maybe the way to go isn't No Carb, but Lo Carb. I like that I can have vegetables like lettuce and broccoli in moderation and still eat enough protein to fill me up. I have put together a shopping list from the sample diet plan, and I am going to do my best to follow it to the letter. I think I will be fine because I will be able to have enough vegetables to take care of my cravings. Wish me luck!
