Today is Day 1 for me on Beck Diet for Life (43 in OR)

I am beginning here at my highest weight ever. It's all downhill from here and I am going to be present for each minute of the ride -- whether it is bumpy or smooth, whether the scenery is dingy gray or gorgeous and sunny. I am doing this for me and I am starting here at the beginning for the LAST time. I just weighed myself which has not actually happened (I have been estimating) in a couple years.

I am about to put on my hiking boots for a walk with my diet buddy. It's got plenty of up hills and down and the scenery is beautiful! I can do this!

I look forward to posting here and getting and giving support!

    Welcome and have fun w/ this......... it is hard, but finding things to laugh about is really important or those little bumps will throw you off. The hike sounds like fun; the diet buddy sounds awesome!

    Amazing work taking the hardest step- Getting going to begin with!! Hiking is one of my favorite pastimes and I lost a lot of weight doing it! It's amazing how a 5 hour hike can just make you forget about everything and be one with nature. Also, it's awesome to pack a picnic and know that you've worked hard enough to enjoy it (as opposed to driving the car there and back). Good luck!! I'm sure i'll be seeing you kicking butt around here soon :D
