Grits Is What Got Me Here...

Well, I shouldn't say that...grits alone are not what makes you fat. It's the cheese and butter on top, sittin next to the fried chicken and deviled eggs on the plate. Being raised in the South, food is comfort. It's getting together every Sunday at Grandma's house after church over a table full of the best smelling, greasiest tastings you can possibly imagine. It's spending the whole day at the beach catching crabs (the kind you want to catch folks) and spots (it's a fish) and taking it all back home to fry up for family dinner. Lord, I'm hungry just thinking about it...but of course I am...I'm on the seventeen thousandth diet of my life!

The good news is that after years of not finding anything that worked - blame my slow metabolism and sluggish thyroid - I have found the answer. It's not for the faint of heart - believe me. But it works and it works fast. It's called the HCG diet and my friend, Gabrielle Butchart has her own program called Gabrielle Miracle Weight Loss Hawaii. Basically, you can lose one pound per day and can do it from 23-45 days at a time.

I've been on it since Monday and have lost 7 pounds. Yes, that's 7 pounds in 2 days.

The thing is, yes, Weight Watchers works for most people, but I'm not the 1/2 pound per week kind of gal. I need results and I need them now. And the great thing about this is that the weight stays off, as long as you follow it correctly and don't go back to eating fried chicken like it's your job.

Anyways, I meant to start this on day one...but I'm pretty busy. I'll try to do it once a day, but we'll see. I'll keep you posted.
