I wanted to write some things down so that I can come back and read as needed for some motivation.
Why am I doing this?
I am tired of being fat! And it's not *just* an appearance thing. It's really more about my health - don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to go shopping for clothes and NOT get morbidly depressed. I mean, what whiz-kid decided to label women's plus size clothing as WIDE??? Like I was really going around under some delusion that my ass was *not* on the large size. No, I'd like to purchase pants that TELL me it is! And, would it really be so bad if I was going around with some sort of insane misconception about the size of my ass??? Ok. I'm done... back to topic. I am tired of being tired and out of shape. I want to be have energy and stamina to go for a long hike, ride a bike, or just run around with the kids. I do NOT want to end up with diabetes or heart disease or any of the other problems associated with being overweight.
But I'll say it's even more than all that. I'm going to try this plan because I, also, want to give up (or dramatically decrease) my consumption of meat and packaged foods. I want to change my lifestyle. I feel that over the last 10-15 years (due to life) I've kind of lost sight of things that I used to feel were important. Actually, I've lost sight of a lot of things, but that's a different topic.
I plan on tracking my weight. I will be taking photos (when my new camera arrives!) - which I will only post if this "lifestyle plan" actually works. :)
I will be (or at least I *plan*on) keeping a food journal. So, I guess that's all for now. I'll post my starting stats over the weekend.
Oh- and I loaded up for my last night of yummie, unhealthy, "bad" food. I got a late afternoon coffee. I had pizza for dinner (with a cherry coke). I got a Dove dark chocolate bar. I bought a big Newcastle. I'm a bad, bad girl. But I am ready for change!!

Oh, and in the arms of honesty, I ate a bunch of yummie rosemary olive oil bread tonight as well... It is to drool for!!
Lol @ wide....i didn't make it to the store, so need to do that stat. I celebrated last night with: whole tempeh hoagie on french (from mm), some left over vday candy, and a michelob ultra dragonfruit peach (the last bear in the house). I have some fruit for this morning, but only a head of lettuce and tomato otherwise! Since when did sleeping until 7:30 constitute sleeping in?!
Anyways, I'll customize our blog, just couldn't come up with a good idea...? So this is just some template.
I have absolutely no doubts. This is the way to eat and live for me.. We set the example and our non-supporting people around us will be amazed.
