1st Week in training!

My first week of being more aware of what I eat and how active I should be was an eye opener! Things that people of normal weight do on a daily basis is some what of a struggle for me. For example a simple walk around the neighborhood has become a bit of an obstacle. My body is only used to lugging around this much weight in brief burst like going to the mail box or laundry and so on.
Which brings me to my first fact! We are only as fit as we choose to be! Taking a stroll around the neighborhood should be simple, relaxing, and someday fun. So I'e commited myself to taking a stroll around the neighborhood at least five times a week. One hour out of my day to use natures fitness trail.
What was scary about this first week was looking at all the calories I had no problem eating without even thinking. After you look at the numbers a candy bar isn't so fufilling, a slice of pizza isn't as tasty, and a simple pretzel from the mall could become depressing. After all, if you look at how many calories you burned and how tough it was to get that number, it makes cheating on your diet a little harder. I worry about what calories go into my body now! I look at everything in measuremnents. I feel like a new bird trying to fly.
This doesn't mean that I'm going to cut out all food. It just means that I'm going to be more careful. I want the body I've always dreamed of, and I'm not going to give up just because I have a disorder that also effects people who are smaller as well. Its going to be a fight, I want that body, I need that body, and if I have to mow the lawn, run eventually, run circles around weight training, eat rabbit food, eat 3 oz of meat a day, drink healthy sugar free smoothies, and piss clear water thats what I'm going to do!
I see myself in a size 10 in 3 years! And thats where I'm going to be!
