Today marks the begining of my journey towards becoming less of a person, in pounds that is. I woke up late, but only because every time I woke up I had the thought, "Oh no, today I start my diet." However; since waking up it really has not been that much of an ordeal.
My current weight is 208 pounds. It would be easy to lament, "How did I get here?', but the truth is I know exactly how I got here. It was by following the sweet road of cookies, ice cream, cake, pies and the occasional salty french fries or chips. I enjoyed every minute of it, however lately it has begun to seem as if I spend as much time thinking about my excessive weight as I do thinking about the foods I love. This thought pattern made me realize that it was time to take control of my eating. I have done this before, but I will not focus on the past or even on the future. I will take each day as it comes and remember that I am strong and capable, and that since this is something that I truly want, it will become a reality.
This journal is new for me. I have decided to write it for no one but myself. I believe that it will be a tool that I can use to keep track of the foods I eat, what triggers my food cravings and of course the weight I loose.
I have no specific plans to write on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. I will simply write when I can, and when I feel that writing will be helpful.
Please join me in my journey.
