Day 1

I woke up this morning with my fists up. I am ready to fight! It is time to get this monkey off my back! I am focusing on one meal at a time. For now, I am not counting calories as I do not want to get too overwhelmed. I am aiming for success. When I went through treatment for the BED (Binge Eating Disorder), they taught me to focus on each meal....the goal = to make it a normal meal. Normal portions, normal eating, no binge eating. That is my goal. I started a little journal that I will use to log my meals and track whether they were "normal" or not. This will help to keep me conscious of each meal and will help me remember to keep it "normal." Once I get used to eating "normally" again and become much stronger in doing so, I will then incorporate the calorie counting in again and monitor my calorie intake. Whitney and I have set a goal to work out 3x a week to start and we are going to start by doing 25 situps per day. The stronger we get, we will increase that number. But our main goal right now is consistency. I know I can do it! I know we can and will succeed! 2010....a thinner, healthier me....here I come!
