   count me in! my boyfriend is a chef and I love to eat and he loves to cook. I was in denial of how much weight I'd gained but after trying to go and buy some cute spring clothes, I came home and threw all the junk food out of the house. I buy fruit, almonds and those baby carrots and stick them in my purse when I leave the house (as a snack) so I can drive by mcdonalds and laugh! I also bought a little ice cooler, fill it with ice packs and cold water and whatever else I want to keep cool (i.e. sandwiches)and stick it in my car so I don't have to stop at the gas station to buy water and be tempted to buy that candy bar at the counter. I often have to eat out for work 2-3 times a week so I only eat half of what I order and always get a salad first to fill me up and pass on the soda. yeah, pepsi is like crack. just a little sip and your back on it! 

I take a weight training cardio class, a hip hop class and a pilates class. I also do some exercises at home my physical therapist taught me which puts my legs and abs into great shape. I am determined to loose this weight! My boyfriends is a cyclist so he's going to have me start riding with him. We eat dinner by 7pm and if I want some dessert, I eat a jello pudding cup. I only allow myself one splurge item a week, whether it's some port wine or a cupcake, I savor it because it's only one thing once a week. ITA sexi, once your body is in shape and your burning calories all the time, you don't watch what you eat as much as when you started. In college, I was soooo fit, I had problems finding clothes because I was so small. Now that I'm out, I gained weight in places I never thought I could and my butt has gotten wider! so in one week I dropped 3 lbs. And we started a house rule, no junk food allowed in the house. 

We can do it ladies! Thanks for starting this post sexi.
