WOW!

Tonight I added all the food I ate for yesterday and today into the Food Log. OMG!! Yesterday, my total calorie intake was over 3000!!! Tonight I ate almost 700 calories just for supper and all I had was a hamberger, pickles, and instant rice cooked with margarine!! All in all I ate 1801 in total calories today!  I can't believe I eat so much. I can understand why it is important to keep track of what you are consuming. No wonder I got as big as I am.

I'm always thinking, "I don't eat that bad", or "I only drink a few cans of pop a week", or "at least I didn't eat the whole bag of cookies". I am totally lying to myself!

I am reading this book right now called 'Never Say Diet' by Chantel Hobbs, and part of her program deals with telling yourself the truth, and not lying to yourself anymore about your habits. Well, the truth just smacked me square in the face!

I haven't even been paying attention

It appears that I first logged in here on July 31st. And ever since then have not even payed attention to what I have been eating, or when, and haven't thought once about exercise! Maybe I'm thinking the weight is just going to magically melt off of me?

It wasn't magic that put the weight on, I worked really hard at eating all that stuff! Like cake, and cookies, and pop and candybars at work. I made sure I had seconds, and large portions too. I dilegently made sure that we always ate out at buffets, thinking we were getting our moneys worth, so we better eat a lot! It took a lot of brain power and stamina to get this fat!

It will take even more to become thin. So, here I go again...

Here I go again!

It seems I am always starting over.  I have been trying to lose weight for years, and it never seems to stay off. I have tried Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and other programs. I have tried doing it myself, I've read books, started at home exercise programs, joined the Y. But I am NOT going to give up, because I don't want to be this big anymore!

So, here I go again. I have never been on this site, I like it and maybe this time...
