My first day of reality

I am coming around the corner of my first day of reality. Up to now, a defense mechanism has allowed me to view myself in a skewed fashion. I was smacked in my double-chinned face with a heaping dose of reality, and instead of running in the other direction and comforting myself with a Big Mac, I decided to embrace a lifestyle change, not a diet! I hope that I am not setting myself up for disaster. I am motivated, but this is the first day and aren't we all motivated on our first days. With my rose colored glasses off, and viewing myself as I truly am (a person who simply let herself go) I can only go up.

    Congrats on your reality check. Keep in mind this is a marathon and not a sprint. Go slow to begin and things will come easier to you. If you go slow and do your research you will be successful. Remember the healthy body you achieve will be worth it. Good Luck!:flowerforyou:
