Tomorrow I begin my journey.  I’m looking for freedom from over eating.  I desire to develope healthy eating, a healthy attitude, a healthy self image, and a healthy life.  I have to admit, I’m a little fearful, mostly because I’ve attempted to get control of my eating many times in the past and have failed to see any lasting effects.   I have a love/hate relationship with food.  I quit smoking about 19 years ago (cold turkey) and wish I could quit eating (cold turkey).  However, I know that is not possible, but the point is, it seems easier to get control of something that you don’t ever have to take part in again.  Just being around food is a challenge to me - I am easily tempted to overindulge.  This is going to take diligent prayer and meditation in God’s Word, as well as, following portion control, making sure I eat breakfast every day (I tend to skip breakfast), and exercising for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week.  I want to set goals that I believe are attainable.  I’ve had a tendency in the past to set too high of goals only to come crashing down in defeat.  My short term weight loss goal for this week is a loss of 1-2 pounds.  My mid-term weight loss goal is to lose 10 pounds by June 20.  I’ll weigh myself tomorrow morning and see what my long term weight loss goals are.   It is getting late and I am getting sleepy.  Good night to any and all who may read my “boring, because I was trying to get something on the page quickly” blog.
