Starting out...again

So here we go again. An effort to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. To set a good example.

That is what I plan to accomplish. No matter how long it takes and so far it has taken a lifetime and I'm not there yet... still growing, still learning.

So that is why I'm here. I have gotten inspired by other bloggers to start my very own "fat blog".

I have recently read a couple of books that have helped me change my way of thinking. They are the Beck Diet Solution and Secrets of a Former Fat Girl. Both have good insight and a good message. If it was just about willpower and eating right we would all be a size 2. It is about rethinking why we eat and overeat. That is what I am working on.

Today I'm planning to fast over lunch. Just a way to test myself and my determination. As the Beck Diet says...hunger is not an emergency.

I have a list of blogs that have encourgaged me to step out on this platform and see how I do.
