What the heck is up with my food intake log??
It never shows what I've put in throughout the day and when I go to readd it, it shows up as duplicates, so I delete the duplicates and then nothing shows up. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Crap! Crap, crap, crap!
I caved and had a can of Mt. Dew and two Quaker Chewy granola bars as an afternoon snack. *sigh* It's 2:15 and I'm already up to 1,008 calories... Is this good or bad? Someone please tell me!

Day One, cont'd.
Struggled a little at lunch. Dad wanted to do left overs for the kids, which wasn't that bad. But then he got out the coconut cream and french silk pies to cut for the kids for dessert... UGH. French silk pie is my ultimate weakness. So while the kids were happily going into their sugar comas, I was stuck with my Sunkist 90 calorie fruit chews. First days are always the hardest!

Finally taking a stand and trying to do this right!
Good evening, everybody!
It is about 10:30 central standard time here in Northern Illinois and the temperature is a blustery 14 degrees, with a windchill of 3... yes, that's right... three stinking degrees.
I was going to start my diet January 1, 2010... But I figured why put off what has to be done? So I gave away all of my left over Christmas candy to my brothers and sisters, had my final regular Mt. Dew and my final two Christmas sugar cookies and pretty soon I'm going to go to bed and tomorrow I'm going to start my diet.
Every year, I resolve to lose weight and every year, I fail. I think I finally figured out why. I was resolving all wrong. I would say, "I resolve to lose 100 lbs this year". When I SHOULD have been saying, "I resolve to lose ten pounds this month". If I make the goals small, than I'll have an easier time attaining them and pretty soon, ten pounds turns to twenty and twenty to thirty... It adds up.
I have the following things on my side:
- I live in a house with lots of stairs, so even if I can't get out and walk in the snow, I can do the stairs twenty times a day.
- My family is AMAZING when it comes to support.
- I love fruits and vegitables, so it'll be a cinch to eat more.
I have the following problems on my side:
- I love soda... Coke and Mt. Dew are my downfall
- I love sweets... cookies, cakes, pies, candy... you name it. If it has sugar in it, I'll probably eat it.
- I also love pasta and bread.
Basically, in general, I love food. But who here doesn't? I really want to do this... I have to do this. I'm 30 years old. I'm tired of my inner thighs rubbing together, I'm tired of feeling my breasts against my stomach, I'm tired of my big ass and I'm tired of having to buy a size bigger when I buy clothes. I want to buy a size smaller. I want to be excited about buying clothes. I don't want to have to walk into a store and head straight for the plus sizes. I want to wear clothes that are cute, fashionable and in style.
I'm tired of crying myself to sleep at night, I'm tired of being passed over for jobs because of my size and I'm tired of 'the look' (you know the one I'm referring to!) everytime I have anything sweet.
I'm rolling my sleeves up and I'm ready to get to work! Bring it on!
