Back on track ...

I've become addicted to chocolate. I can't even blame it on Halloween, this started MONTHS ago ... so, I've decided I have to do with chocolate and other sugar products what I did with alcohol. Cut it out of my life, cold turkey right now...

as of this morning, I'm going to do the program. Protein, veggies, limited good carbs.. and my protein supplements .. I HAVE to do this. I've gained more weight and I'm destroying everything I worked so hard for.

I've decided meal planning has GOT to happen. Throwing away food because it's rotting in the refrigerator has to stop. Eating out because I have nothing planned/defrosted has to stop. I'll be picking up a battery for my scale today .. I'll be weighing every morning and every night again...I'll be taking pictures once a week to follow 'visual progress' This isn't even about getting back into the boxes and boxes of clothes I have in storage, this is about fulfilling my commitment to me, my kids to be healthy and happy again and right now, I'm neither.

I've heard that people who journal have a better chance at losing the weight they want to lose, so, I'm going to journal .. my thoughts my feelings, what I eat and why and what if any exercise I do.

11/5/2008. Breakfast. 2 eggs, 1 garlic clove and 1/8th of a medium size onion. No cheese, no bread. I'm going to wait the full 30 minutes before having anything to drink.
