It's a new day!

I’m going back to basics, starting over again! While this hasn’t been a perfect week, I’ve done much better at planning and logging my food, managing portion sizes, and even trying to get in my healthy food groups. I’ve been coasting along at this for a while now, having lost track of why I wanted to lose the weight in the first place. So I decided it was time to sit down and think about it again and make a new list that I can put up on the fridge to remind of what I really want.

I want to lose weight in order to:

1. Improve flexibility and ease the load on my knees
2. Have more energy and stamina
3. Fit into a greater variety of clothes
4. Be less self conscious about my body when I’m with other people.
5. Be comfortable in my body
6. Be healthy

These were in no particular order; they all matter. Notice that one thing that isn’t there, deliberately so, is “Like myself better” because I already do like myself. I just don’t like who I am in the larger body .
I am not declaring a goal weight, though I have something in mind. My first goal is 5 pounds and when that is achieved, I’ll set the goal at another 5 and string them together little by little.
