One day down.

sunrizes

So, that old saying that today is the first day of the rest of my life might actually be happening. I cannot believe how empowered I feel after signing up yesterday and tracking my food. I went way over on calories yesterday, but I was brutally honest with everything I put in my mouth. I have been exercising for a year, but sabatoging my efforts with ridiculously poor eating habits-eating when I was upset at my husband, eating to avoid killing a child, eating to relax to fall asleep. I am glad I am starting to care about me again. I know accountability will be the key for me. I would appreciate any support--I've already gotten some since joining. I have finally found a group of hard-working, motivated realists on mfp--there is no magic to losing weight and being healthy and no one here will claim otherwise.
