Day 1

Change is hard, but you can start small by doing the routine you can really stick to. Small dietary changes at first. If you cut out lots of foods at once you can end up bingeing. Think of your body that needs to be healthy for you and your family. Think of this change as a lifestyle. Those unhealthy foods are just a habit, or overeating in general. It's like quitting smoking - at 1st you feel crappy, but then you adjust and can't even understand why you were doing this to your body. Well, good luck to you and you can do it! It's just a matter of making decision.

Most people will support worthy causes, and your probably the same kind of person, so that being said, aren't worth supporting yourself in doing what's best and good for you, you will have to be there for yourself when no one else can or will. Aren't you worth effort?

I'm here! I have a picture of myself in a bathing suit from around 1993 to remind me that what I want is possible. Have lost over 10 pounds in a month by actively tracking my food and finding ways to alter favorite foods to make them fit in my new lifestyle. Have also been gardening, going to the gym, and walking (but only because my car broke down 3 and 1/2 miles from home. Actually feeling awesome! Come join me. We can make the journey together! We can swap ideas and help each other keep the eye on the prize!
