In the fall I looked at myself and realized I could not go on as I was.  I was only getting bigger, none of my clothes fit and I was depressed.  I didn’t want to start yet another diet program because I have failed so many times that I just figured what was the point.  So, I thought I would try something different.  I decided to just change what I was eating and lower my portions.  I used to eat lots of fast food, chocolate, and a LOT of it.  I changed and am eating more whole grain foods, and healthier options.  I started around 230 and as of March 1, 2008 I was 198.  I have been weighing in once a month and I am fine with that.  It keeps me focused on getting healthy, not on the number on the scale.  I have gone from a size 22 to a size 16, and I hope that by the end of the summer I am in a 14 comfortably. 

Anyway, here is my menu for the day:
