It has taken until noon, but I truly feel a burden has been lifted from my shoulders…Yesterday’s confession was cleansing.  I still do not have the answers to my questions, but that is ok.  I am grateful for everyone who commented or emailed.  Your insight and words are appreciated.  For every one of you who doubted my will to do this – I thank you.  For it was those of you who told me to live the way I am, that encouraged me to move forward.  Your lack of faith, was the rope I needed to start climbing out of this pit.  To those who continue to believe in me I thank you for your support.

The road will be long, and some days will be weary, but I plan to persevere.  Tomorrow is scale day for me.  I am expecting (and deserve) a gain.  And, that’s ok.  This was only a temporary set back. [Notice the word was…that is past tense.  That means this set back is over…at least that is my plan.]  This week, and next Wednesday’s weigh in will be better.

I have an exercise plan in place for 5 days a week, 30 – 60 minutes depending on the day.   There is no more ice cream in the house – I ate it for breakfast…but, I wrote it in my food journal after measuring it out!  My meals today (left overs) are high fat and high calorie foods, but total only 1463 calories.  Tomorrow lasagna is on the dinner menu as my family has requested it.  Knowing this will help me plan lower calorie and fat meals around it.  The plan is there – now to stick to it.

This week – journaling, calories and exercise.  Next week – water and smoking…
