Loving Life

Well, one week after I declared my hatred for the typical diet, I am down 4 pounds! I weighed in this morning the same way I did last week and it was amazing. I will never pay for a diet again. I am using sparkpeople.com to log in my calories and find some more motivation…I love 3fc for my friends here and the support they give though!  I am extremely excited to be on this new path. Seeing that scale say 4 pounds down had given me even more motivation. Now…lets watch as I survive a week vacation in New York.

I loved this weekend. I ate what I wanted when I wanted…and you know what? I generally behaved. I made good choices and ate well…and then, when I wanted to, I ate that piece of chocolate cake. And you know what? I didn’t feel guilty. I felt good. I am anxious to see what my weigh in is on Wednesday. I am hoping to celebrate at least a one pound loss.

I have decided today that I am done with formalized diets. I have decided that I am just going to watch how much, what kinds, and when I put things in my mouth. I have decided I need to exercise everyday. I have decided that this is the only way I am going to make a serious lifestyle change and lose this weight.  I have decided that I should not have to pay, count points, say no to foods I like. I have decided that this is the new first day of my weight loss journey.
