Okay, I feel that I am off to a good start. Not going to get my hopes up to high though. God forbid I fail at this. However, I did eat less than normal today which I see as a good start for me as I usually eat all day long.(no exaggeration) I didn’t eat breakfast at all today because I got up late. I did eat lunch at my boyfriends great grandmothers house though, but only ate vegetables. Real mashed potatoes with no butter and very little salt and pepper, fresh from the garden corn with no butter very little salt and pepper, a table spoon full of baked beans and broccoli and cheese. No bread at all. For a snack I had a crispy chicken snack wrap with ranch from McDonald’s with a small coke to drink. I had tea with my lunch. For dinner I had Scalloped potatoes and a little bit of hamburger helper and a glass of milk. So far so good. Maybe not to you guys but to me thats a big step. Not to be eating a lot and not to let my bordem and feelings control my eating. Now tomorrow I will just do even better. Thats my goal, everyday to improve something about my eating habits. Wish me luck. Now I do have a question, if any one can help me with it. I did the whole how many calories I can have on here and it said I should have -250 to -750. Does that mean I cant eat(lol) or is that I should eat 250 to 750 less calories a day then I am or thats recommended I just don’t get it. Anyways, Good luck to you all!
P.S I did get “some” exercise I cleaned my refrigerator and kitchen.

Well is the first day of the journey to a new me! I am extremely excited to see how I do, but very nervous that I may fail. (Failure being a big fear of mine) I have to do something though or I am going to die prematurely. Only thing I am really worried about is my whole family is big. I am actually one of the skinniest people in my family at 245 lbs. So, in the back of my mind as always I got this little voice telling me “Hey your doomed to be a fat a** your whole life! You can’t do this and you wont!” I feel now more than ever that I have to do this. Ive got some health issues popping up that are kinda scary and I have a three year old daughter and wonderful man that I hope to marry soon to live for. I don’t want to die as I am now. I want to die happy and full of life and old really old! Not to mention at least somewhat healthy. I just hope and pray to the Lord above that he will see me through this and hold my hand along the way and get me to my goal. This is no more a choice it is a have to do it type situation.
