All Natur-al
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.

Thanks, Anna1 I needed that post! You’re awesome!
[...] out the dare she posted on her blog!! Anyone interested??? [...]
I just made a post about your dare . . .
That is awesome. When I go to the store, I think about you and say to my self “is this God food”. I have done that since you told me awhile back.
The bad thing is I like the other stuff. I have never thought about praying about it. Thanks Anna. I miss you.
abi–I will be praying for you! It’s hard, but not impossible!
Libby–Thanks for the post!
Nicole–I miss you too! Praying helps, you can do it if you want it bad enough!
AND, these 20 were the HARD pounds…the last ones. The ones that you think you’ll never get rid of!
Still so stinkin’ proud of you!
I know the biggest change for you was your heart….hope you’ll talk more about that. ; )
No bread?
Hmmm…..
Jury is still out.

I think I could do this if I could get more organized. Pretty sure your brother wouldn’t like it as much as what I’m cooking now, though.
I drink diet drinks but am not drinking them for a whole week. I’m three days in and it’s hard! The reason I’m not drinking them is because I wasn’t drinking enough water so i’m replacing them with water! I’ve done this diet or close to it before, I did core for along time and had great success. I need to get back on it more strictly!
