You don't have to see the whole staircase to take the first step- MLK
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Charles E. "Chuck" Dederich, Sr.
I have spent this week eating all of my favorite foods. That was probably not a great idea, but i knew that most of the foods i love most are not good for me & who knows when i can eat them again. According to my coach if I stick to this, I should be able to lose the weight i want to lose by the fall.
I am scared. i am not sure if I am scared more of failing or succeeding. I have been overweight most of my adult life. Heck, most of my life since i was a teenager. And i think i am finally taking the first step to a healthier lifestyle. I am doing this for me and for my family. I am scared that if I succeed, i won't know how to act. I know, crazy talk.
When I signed up with my coach, Paul, he suggested that I make a list of 10 reasons why i want to lose weight. You will see them below. It took awhile & some changing, but i like what I have written. I printed them out, then went to Walmart & got a frame to put them on my wall. And my husband will be taking a picture of me in the morning. I will take one each Monday & post it to show how different i look. I am putting myself out there.
My life has been centered around food for so long that i am worried how i will be able to do this. I have to learn to center my life around other things. My family, my scrapbooking, my friends.
I am hoping to post once a week, but in the beginning it might be more often. If you have read this far, thanks. I appreciate it.
My name is Robin and i am overweight (for now).
