Ready to let you go Big Booty

Okay. So I here I am, 33, and I have accepted I am afflicted with a big booty. Not a naturally bodacious, embrace-your-beauty kind of booty, but the kind sculpted and grown by nurturing it with pizza, cookies, chocolate, cheese and all of the other stuff that is so easy to consume all too often. I know eating these things is not good for me. I think most of us are now aware of the SAD diet (Standard American Diet). I have loved this diet so with all of its evil little processed and oh-so-divine monsters; but, alas, I must say goodbye to its lying ways.

I have spent several years researching the best way to eat. There are so many opinions and I suppose one must find what will work best for him/her. But what I have found is that I love the idea of cleansing my chubby body and replacing it with the fruits, vegetables and whole grains this beautiful earth produces for us. I spent a year as a pescatarian (which I claimed, in denial, was a vegetarian diet). I ate seafood, dairy, and fruits and vegetable and lots of yummy processed food. Yes, BBQ chips are vegetarian and I can eat them if I want. Did I metion the denial?

So after reading many books, I have decided to go vegan. I know there are naysayers who will not agree; but, for me, I think it is the answer. For my spirit, for my body and for my booty, it is the answer to healthier, slimmer and happier days. This blog is a challenge for me. I think if I reach out to all of you in the great, big world, I will feel more compelled not to fail you. Not that you care that much about me, but I think pretending that you do will help. So I am starting with Joel Fuhrman's book, Eat To Live. In fact, my husband is en route with the book as we speak: the holy grail of small bootydom...I hope. The goal is six months of total commitment, no matter what. I will document my moans and groans, triumphs and celebrations and any other revelations here, for all the world to see (or maybe just my friends who I make subscribe to it) and if all goes well, I will acheive a smaller booty. Of course, I hope for much more than that. Enlightment, health, energy, happiness and athleticism are all in the wish box as well. I am hoping for a better me. I'll outline the details as soon as the book arrives for anyone who might want to follow along or try the challenge with me.

Wish me luck!
