Take 2

Its always amazing to me that I am so OCD about many things yet lackadaisical about some other things! I hesitated to start this blog because how many blogs about getting fit and losing weight can the world possibly handle….I certainly didn’t feel like reading any more! However, while I have little commitment to myself, I absolutely abhor failing on commitments to others thus….this BLOG!

I am known as the Monday diet girl at the office…seriously, every Monday I am starting a diet. That should be a sign, maybe its just too much pressure, afterall who likes MONDAYS to start off with and then you add the hunger pangs and voila, you have the recipe for disaster!!! I thought I would name this blog, Beyonce aint got nothing on me and then I thought – meh, that’s for sure a lie, how about Jennifer Hudson and then I saw her recent pictures and let that go sooo now I am down to – urgh and mehhhh! Not very inspirational but reflective of my current moods.

One of my good friends and former fab flab left me about 5 years ago and is now a super fly diva…thanks to the weight loss phenomenon – Atkins…I figured I love meat right, that should be fairly easy!!! NOPE…turns out while I think I am such a city girl, I am more like a mid western farm girl on the inside….a lover of MEAT AND POTATOES…heck I should just build my house somewhere in between Omaha & Idaho and all would be great!

Anyhoo…I digress (something you will notice I do often). Back to the situation at hand…I have a plethora of weddings coming up and specifically Nigerian weddings and so I feel the need to start a diet plan because its just what I do when I plan to go home. Just before that is my friends wedding in Philly! I bought a dress that I need to fit in to! I NEVER do that generally because its too risky but I am doing it this time and so in honor of that dress and this overral situation…I am naming this blog…because of YOU (and the you here is YOU AMAKA, YES YOU!!!)….
