Today is the First Day of the Rest of My Life

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

Today is the beginning of my weight loss journey. And I am scared.

Today I am going on the No Flour, No Sugar diet by Dr. Gott.

Today I am going to make yogurt. I need to eat a cup of it a day to get my milk in, which I think is important.

Today I am going to cut up vegetables and fruits that I bought the other night. I intend to go easy on the fruits, though, and heavy on the vegetables.

Today I have already eaten and egg fried with olive oil, and a milkshake of skim milk, 1/2 banana, Equal, and ice.

Today I may have difficulty not eating sweet stuff. I will keep myself busy. Sweets is almost (well, maybe it really is!) an addiction for me, and I am going to have some bad moments that I am going to have to sweat out.

Today I have itchy places where the excess flesh folds in because of the excess flab.

Today I get a little winded from walking upstairs or up a hill. I am just carrying too many pounds around!

Today I will exercise. I plan to do 15 minutes of Leslie Sansone this morning, and take a bike ride this afternoon. I also plan to plant more garden, which is tremendous exercise!

Today I am at my all-time high. I am eager to see what will happen at the scale from the changes I am making!

Today I hate my tight clothes. I hate to look in the mirror at what my body has become. I look forward to the feeling of my clothes getting looser, then getting too big!

Today I sometimes get a little light-headed and feel unbalanced when I get too warm in exertion.

Today I want to work at getting my blood sugars more balanced, and off the roller-coaster.

Wow! My list could go on and on! I really have a lot of work to do to lose this weight! I have been gearing up for this day, but as I said, I am still scared. But, I want to be trim!!
