I don't want to be always pulling my shirt down over my gut...


I thought the picture above was inspiring... Anyway, I think over-all I did pretty well today. I had a small ham and swiss sandwich and two small coffees for breakfast. For lunch I had a dry Market Fresh Turkey and Swiss sandwich, a diet coke, and some Chex mix. For my afternoon snack I had some more Chex Mix and a can of V8 juice. When dinner rolled around I had a salad from Hannaford. I made sure to stay away from the cheeses and fattening meats. I got chicken breast and fat free Italian dressing in addition to all the veggies. For my snack I had some pickled veggies and a small Golden Delicious apple. I know I'm just starting out, but I feel really upbeat about everything so far. Something seems to happen each day to make me realize how much I hate the state my body is in. Stephanie, a girl I work with is leaving for college and today was her last day. She hugged me and I realized how skinny and small she must look compared to me. My weight issues always seem to be lurking in the back of my mind and hold me back from being content. They can turn the simplest of events (such as a hug) into an opportunitu to make me once again all too aware of my weight problem. I want to be content in my own skin. I won't be until I follow through with getting all the excess weight off. As I said in a post from yesterday, I don't have any illusions that I'll end up looking like a super-model, I just want to be healthy.
