Before After

Began watching what I ate, but....

I drank water and grapes for breakfast this morning. Usually I don't eat anything in the morning and overeat at lunch and some fast food for dinner. Today I ate grapes in the morning, chicken and pasta at lunch with lemonade and I felt exhausted when I arrived home from work. Nothing else was different in my day other than the food, so what went wrong and why am I so tired? I haven't had dinner yet but I noticed this alarming difference already and feel as if I did not do something right.
Someone needs to write a "dieting for dummies" book!

I have issues with my size and would like to do something about it. I am planning to ask my doctor for phen because I have read many successful stories. I have not tried any other diets and do not exercise as of yet. I need to lose weight for my mental well being and health reasons. I do not know how I ended up being this size and now that I've realized what I have become I am ready to become the person that I am.  
I have not taken my kids swimming because I don't want to wear shorts in public, yes I said shorts not swim suit. How is anyone embarassed of wearing shorts in public? That was my breaking point, I used to live in shorts every summer.  
I don't know how to apply counting calories to my everyday life. I need to gain knowledge about what it is that I need to do to achieve my goal of losing weight.
Thanks.
