The Plan!

So... Here is my Big Plan to lose weight. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

I am going to be a "mindful eater".  And red meat and pork is a rare occasion thing.  Chicken and fish and veggies.  More on the chicken and veggies though, I hate fish.
I am going to have at least one 30 min exercise every day.
I am going to have a walk every night after dinner. As well as an attempt to walk in the morning (but that depends on X)
And now the possibly controversial one.  I am going to start tightlacing.  Yup. With a corset.


I am also considering buying a juicer and maybe doing a juice fast.

What do you guys in internetland think?

Beginnings

Here's the deal.  I weigh a lot more than I ought.  I've tried a few times to lose it, but I really haven't been motivated.  My personal life isn't suffering because of my weight, I don't have any health issues (now) because of my weight, it really hasn't stopped me from doing what I want.  So it's always been an aesthetic reason to lose. 

Until Now...

I know this may sound like a really stupid reason to have as your main motivation to lose weight, but here it is.  I got cast as the Inga Swanson, the Swedish foreign exchange student who speaks little English, but knows the international language of love very well, and the first words to describe her are tall and voluptuous. I'm thinking Uma Thurman as Ulla in The Producers. Now, being 5 foot nil, I can't help the tall bit (except with killer heels!).  However, I can help the sexy image I'm supposed to portray.

I've always held myself as pretty low on the needs to be happy list.  My family and friends have always come first.  But now a whole show is counting on me.  I have a director and fellow cast members who are going to need me to portray the best character I can.  So, I am going to lose the tonnage.  Now.

Wish me luck!
