A New Day

Okay, I know you have all heard me over and over again about how I'm starting TODAY....well, I really am starting Today. 

Here's a picture when Ginny and I thought we were fat.....I'd love to be that fat today.  (By the way....Ginny looks like a bird :))\...look at those skinny legs)

I've been given many signs lately with the way I have been feeling......let alone passing a mirror and seeing the way I look (oh my!)....and I've decided to take control of my eating.  I have to be aware of everything that I put in my mouth.
This weekend I was so sick (with IBS) and had such pains from not eating right, that it made me realize that I've had chance after chance to get my act together and before I don't get another chance, I have to take control of the situation.
I'm writing down everything I eat....
Trying to eat 1200 - 1500 calories a day....
I'll do the best I can at exercise right now....


I'll keep you posted how it goes.

Food

More die in the United States of too much food than of too little. 

What Diet?

Well, I gave the box of Russell Stover chocolates to Sr. Mary Joseph when she was here today so I wouldn't eat them.  They were supposed to be a gift for Janice, my friend, for her birthday Thursday, so I will have to go out and get her something else tomorrow.
I'm reading this book "Women, Food and God" and I still haven't grasped the concept, but this author is going to be on Oprah today, so maybe I can understand it better watching this show. 
I believe that one of my biggest problems why I eat is because I'm either lonely or bored.  At those times, I will eat stuff that I'm not even crazy about....just to have something to do.  I know...it sounds silly....but that's what I do.
Tonight I sat there eating spoonfuls of dry granola while I watched T.V.
I'll keep you posted on what I learn from Oprah today.
