Appointment with the Dietitian

Today I went to the Bryan Women's Center to see a Dietitian. I am wanting to lose like 15-20 pounds and needed to go get some advice. The lady I met with was really nice and helpful. I told her my eating habits and why I want to lose weight. She said for my height and weight right now I would need to eat 1400 calories a day to lose 1 pound a week. She said it is ALL about counting your calories!! For breakfast, lunch, and dinner I need to intake 400 calories. And then for snacks for the whole day I can have 250 calories. She also gave me this little book that has meal plans in it and on the go meal plans. She had all the restaurants in College Station and what the best thing to eat at each restaurant is. Even Los Cucos!! She told me to write everything I eat down and come see here again in 2 weeks. So afterwards, I went to Walmart and bought some of the things that she recommend for meals. I am starting tomorrow! So wish me luck! If I do this I could lose 16 pounds healthily by August 21st. Which means I will look good for the start of next semester!!

Here is a picture of me from Summer 2007...I thought I was fat then...but looking back I think I looked pretty good!! This was when my mom and I were working out with that personal trainer. Wish I would of kept it up!
