I've been wanting/needing to do something about eating and exercising for the past year. I've been looking for that thing that would kick start me. And I must admit, I've failed. I've watched from the sidelines while some of you become successful at whatever you're up to, whether it's South Beach, joining a new gym, or returning to the gym. I've cheered and supported like a friend should, and usually this would kick-start me to do my own thing, but this time, it hasn't. As a matter of fact, I think it's made me feel like more of a failure. I have so much self-hatred when it comes to weight, there are times when I've wanted to jump from a cliff because of it. It's so frustrating. I don't want this to turn into a pity party post, but I wanted to give some background.
So I've been quietly looking at different diets. I've also been watching what I've been eating, for the most part. The bad thing is that my metabolism is jacked and the fact that I'm middle-age/peri-menopausal doesn't help either. While I was moderately successful with South Beach, I feel like I can't go back to it. I feel like I need something new, to at least kick-start weight loss. That's what I'm looking for...a kick in the pants. I think I've found it in the Dukan Diet. I know, I can almost hear you rolling your eyes at me. "Oh, crap. Another diet book on her bookshelf." But as with many life journeys, it's personal. This is personal. Reading about the diet it is clicking with me. I feel like it's something I can manage. I want to at least try it because the cliff isn't an option.
