I am calling this Day Zero, because this is my starting point. This is when I am making the choice to change. This is the day that I have decided will be the start of a new life, a healthy life. One that I can be proud of. One that my kids can be a part of.
Over the weekend, I had a couple of pictures taken. These pictures are the start. I noticed how absolutely large I have gotten over the past year. I have tried to hide it. I have tried to work around it. but, it is not working.
So that brings me to here. I am hoping that by writing down what is going on in my life, I will become more aware of my food triggers. I can stop and think about what I am doing. And I can make changes that will be good for all of us.
Goal 1 for tomorrow...Day 1: Food log. I will not be keeping my food log here, but will have a weight watchers log that I will be keeping. Weight Watchers has always worked for me. I have lost weight successfully on WW in the past and plan to follow this plan at this time.
That is it. One goal at a time.
I am not sure if anyone will read this, or if anyone wants to read this. but it should be a fun look at my life.
Today: It amazes me how much my kids' behavior affects what I eat!!! I can have total plans to eat healthy, and one child will act up, and bam...chocolate!!! I never knew that chocolate would improve behavior.....and it hasn't yet! The kids keep the same behavior, no matter how much chocolate I eat. But the glass of wine sure makes things better :)
