185. That’s how much I weighed at my highest.  (Just typing that is a little embarrassing!)

The first and most important thing I realized when I wanted to make a change was that: to get extreme results I had to take extreme measures. 

What do I mean by extreme? I call it the “only what God made” diet.  Everyday I would pray, “God, please help me honor You with everything I put in my mouth today.”  Here is what I ate for a month and a half:

Fruits

Veggies

Chicken

Fish

Nuts

Whole grain (oatmeal)

Water

Here’s what I didn’t eat:

Cake

Cookies

Ice cream (pretty much anything with sugar!)

Anything fried

Anything processed

Bread

Soda

What did a month and a half do for me?  I lost 20 pounds.  Seriously.  Talk about needing to go shopping!  What if you did this for a month?  Two weeks?  To get extreme results you have to take extreme measures.  Think you can handle it? 

I dare you.
