The first of many...


This photo says it all. What the hell was I thinking? How could I have let myself get this way?

Well, tomorrow starts another new day of dieting. Or, should I say, a new lifestyle. Yeah, right, it's dieting! Once again, I find myself on a Sunday night thinking - tomorrow will be different - tomorrow is the beginning of losing over 100 lbs! Will it be different? Well, all I can do is try - I have the will to do it, right now, let's hope tomorrow I have the same will.

Something I'm doing differently than the last hundred times or so that I've started dieting. I've actually made a meal plan for myself - for the whole week! Since dinners around here seem to be random and last minute, I left my dinners open with enough POINTS to get me through any type of cuisine (within reason, of course!)

Another difference is that I'm at a breaking point. I can't take this weight any longer - if I don't do something I won't make it. Not sure what I mean by that, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid of dying young, I'm afraid I can't take it mentally anymore. I'm afraid my kids will be ashamed of their fat mother. I'm afraid I won't be able to play sports with them and participate in all the activities I enjoyed when I was a kid. Here's to confronting my fears...I WILL DO THIS!

THIS IS IT!
