Hello All!

Greetings My name is Beverly Barnes and I am from Opelika Al. I'm 22 years old in college pursuing my associates degree in Medical Assisting and for long as I can remember I never in my life had been at a normal weight range. all the way from starting as a kid to what I am now I always been overweight. I tried just about everything.. diet pills, starvation, low calorie diets, pescatarian, vegetarian, low carb,  the Fat smash diet by Dr.Ian.

Some of them worked well for me while others I failed all miserably! Now I'm thinking about going low carb diet with some focuses on being primal Primal with hardly ever any grains. and maybe some oatmeal here and there with my favorite shredded wheats since cant fathom the thought of not having those two as part of my breakfast. so basically what I'm trying to do is focus on being on a low carb diet and have my carbohydrates focused mainly on fruits and vegetables little grains. and having healthy fats such as olive oil and lean protein

I stand in at 5ft4 weighing in at 262 pounds well actually this cursed scale says 262.8 pounds but round that off you might as well say 263. now being at 5ft4 and weighing in at 262 thats a considerable amount of weight to carry.  so that would put me in at morbidly obese category. 

For a long time I ask myself "How did I let myself go like this?" "Why did this had to happen to me?" "Where did it all went wrong?"  I know for a fact before I put in this excess baggage I was going through a couple things such as the Death of My Father  six years ago that sent me to a whirl wind of deep depression and slowly destroying myself.  I guess you can say I just snapped and had a mental breakdown.  but now I'm fine and I'm slowly trying to build myself up again because I'm sure my father wouldnt want to be lost forever. and another thing was that I lazy and I didnt have enough self discipline

I know for a fact with the help of my family, friends, I will get to my goals. right Now I want to focus on getting to a goal of 140 pounds. I dont want to slim or skinny I just want to be healthy so that I can be happy with myself and live as long as I can. that would be my main goals of losing weight.  

Well I hope things go well wish me luck and thank you for taking your time reading this.

                                                                                                            xoxo

Good News

Hey Guys I want to give you some news about my Grandmother; Last week she had a Liver Infection and the Doctors just placed her on some antibiotics for a couple days and sent her back home. they didn't wanted to go any further because they felt that she had enough problems as it is and my mom was upset about it  because she felt that they just was going to give up on her. Thanks to my mom and my aunt persistence they advised the doctors could she go to Birmingham for further and advanced treatment. No disrespect for EAMC (East Alabama Medical Center) there just seems to be better educated doctors in Birmingham from my personal experience. So she went to the hospital in Birmingham where she went through some tests and further treatment, the doctors said that they were able to treat her infection and now shes scheduled to go home today. I'm really happy about the news because I love my Grandma I wished I would've be there but I cant because I'm sick myself and I didn...

Atkins Stone Fired three meat pizza

Hello My fellow Bloggers and Bloggetes,   Today I'm reviewing the Atkins Stone fired three meat pizzas! I bought these at my local Walmart and I think it was around 3 dollars and some change.  as you can see from the pics it has 11 Net carbs and 26 Grams of Protein. which isn't too bad to me in my opinion.  When I took it out of the box it looked pretty good. I was surprised that it looked very close to what was on the package considering the fact that 9/10 when you buy something from the store it doesn't nearly look like what is on package. but hey that doesn't go for stores it also goes for Restaurants too! Lol! anyways back to the pizza.  The pizza itself was quite small which I didn't mind since I was just eating this around my lunch break sometimes I don't want a big meal, and the taste. well let me tell you I had to take a double take to make sure I was eating a Atkins meal because usually they don't taste so good. so this isn'...

Giving this one more shot..

Hey all!         Yes I know it's been awhile. since I posted anything. so I'm going to go ahead and get straight to the point instead of just drawing all this out. 1. I gained most of what I lost which is nothing new.. between the holidays, and my job getting on my nerves I'm currently at 276. not at my highest weight right? but still close to it nonetheless. 2. I stopped keto for awhile. and my sugar craving were off the roof trying to count calories so I'm back on keto again.  (Yes I know it's not good for me to be currently switching back and forth between eating habits like this and I'm sure my metabolism hates me even more now) 3.I had someone close to me that passed. so I had to go out of state to tend to the funeral and so forth. 4. I thought things at my job would be getting better but clearly it's not which is why I'm trying to look for work elsewhere.
