This WILL be stuck in your head for days:
My goal is to be beach body ready and
stuff a wild bikini this summer...
"36-22-36!"
This is the swimsuit I picked out. It doesn't have the metal between the breast, it's a pushup, and the bottoms has black fabric with a ribbon of the same color around the waist.
I picked it out when I was feeling uber confident about myself, but I gained 12 pounds this month and now I'm not so confident with my body. I really, really, really, want to wear a bikini this summer. So I need to lose weight and lose weight fast so that I can rock a bikini this year (and, ya know, eat healthy and stuff).
My grandparents have been on this three-day diet for a year. Basically, you eat small portions of pre-planned meals for three days, then for four days you eat normally while avoiding overeating. Pretty basic stuff. I've shared these meals with my grandparents and it's not a gimmick. No tricks. No special ordering. My grandparents have had dramatic results and it's all healthy "pick up at the grocery store" meals.
Here's what I'll be doing starting tomorrow for three days.
First day:
Breakfast:
1/2 grapefruit or 1/2 c Juice
1 Slice toast
1 T peanut butter
Black coffee or tea
Lunch:
1/2 c tuna (equivelant to one can)
1 slice toast
Black coffee or tea
Dinner:
2 Slices or 3 oz meat (Mamma and Papa substitute with 2 hot dogs)
1 c string beans (vegetables can be subbed with any steamed veggies)
1 c carrots or beets (veggies subbed with any steamed veggies)
1 small apple
1/2 c vanilla ice cream
Second Day
Breakfast:
1 hardboiled egg (can be served any style)
1 slice toast
1/2 banana
Black coffee or tea
Lunch:
1 C cottage cheese or 1/2 can tuna
5 saltine crackers
Black coffee or tea
Dinner:
2 hot dogs
1 c cabbage or broccoli
1/2 c carrots or turnip greens
1/2 banana
1/2 c vanilla ice cream
Third Day:
Breakfast:
1 slice cheddar cheese
5 saltine crackers
1 small apple
Black coffee or tea
Lunch:
1 hardboiled egg
1 slice toast
coffee or tea
Dinner:
1 c tuna (aka 2 cans)
1 c carrots or beets
1 c green beens or cauliflower
1 c cantelope or 1 small apple
1/2 c vanilla ice cream
Black coffee or tea
See, it's real food, just in small portions.
Please do not judge this diet. That would not be beneficial to me. I've had these meals when visiting my grandparents, and I've seen the weight they've lost and that it is also possible to maintain weight while on this diet as after they've lost the weight they decided to simply maintain the weight they had. The hardest part will be to stick to the diet and to not go crazy on my off days. I would like support and people to cheer me on but not to judge the diet I am on. I hope it will work for me and a diet I can stick to as an emotional eater. It will be a new experience and I hope all goes well. I will keep you updated on my progress, but its important to have the cheerleaders rooting for me and to post about as to remind myself to stick to the plan. My parents bought a good portion of my meals for the next three days, so now it's time to put my words into actions. I can do this!
