There was a time when . . .

I would look at a picture of myself and every once in a while I would say, "Oh, what an awful picture". The once in a while's became more frequent and I have now come to accept the fact that it isn't the photographer, or the pose, or the lighting. It's just me! Don't think for a moment that my concern for my weight is purely aesthetic, although I think that is what brought me to this point. No, my real concern is my health and my knees and my desire to be walking on my own when I am 70 and not be reliant on a wheelchair.

I'm happy to report that I've posted pictures for your viewing pleasure : ) How can I be so happy about posting such awful pictures? Mike said it is because I am doing something about my health. I think he's right.

Can you believe that Josh asked me to go to Auntie Anne's for him because he didn't pack a lunch for work. For God's sake Josh, this is day one! You can't ask me to go to Auntie Anne's on day one!

I had a good day. Ate healthy, feel satisfied, even worked in a little exercise after an 11 hour day. I'm not dieting. Diets don't work for me. I need to change my eating habits, it needs to be something I can do for the rest of my life.

That's it for now, thanks for checking in with me.
