Exciting, yes? Everyone says this is what you are supposed to do, journal while you lose weight, so I am succumbing to peer pressure and adding my own ramblings to the plethora of weightloss blogs out in the cosmos.
Tonight I walked with my buddy down the street. Had to pause 3 times to catch our breath! So glad she is willing to go with me, I'd hate to have to go alone.
I really have no way to judge how many calories I am eating right now. I guess I'll have to figure that out soon, right? So far I am attempting to eat when I am truly hungry and limit my portions. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. There are just days when nothing satisfies, you know?
I know this: I never ever want to go back to the depression and discouragement that was my life before now. I had just basically given up. I know I needed to lose weight; I'm 47, and it is only going to get worse, but the sense of failure was so strong. I have tried off and on through the years but when I would mess up ONE TIME well, that was it, I was a failure, I knew I could never lose weight, and it was all over.
So my first two big goals are thus: to walk everyday, and to not give up. NEVER GIVE UP NEVER SURRENDER!

No matter what.
Oh, and officially this is day 10.

Quotes I Read on Other People's Blogs and Shamelessly Stole (except for the second one)

If you do what you always did,

you get what you always got.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being fat is hard.
Losing weight is hard.
Choose your hard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Choose change before
the changes choose you.--Sean Anderson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He loves thee far too well
To leave thee in thy self-made hell
A Savior is thy Lord
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christopher Robin said to Pooh, "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." Why does stuff like this make me cry?
