Three words...

I'M DOING IT!!! Well, let's make that four words...I'm FINALLY doing it!! If I believed in "jinxing", I'd say I can't talk about it because I don't want to "jinx" myself. But, I don't...so I will. Talk about it, that is.

About a month ago, I felt as though my mind turn a corner. That's the only way I can describe it. I felt MENTALLY prepared to DO THIS...once and for all (please Lord, let it be once and for all!) I was at the library one day and checked out Dr. Nancy Snyderman's book, Diet Myths that Keep Us Fat. She is the medical correspondant for the Today Show. She is in wonderful shape now, but used to be very out of shape. I began reading this book, and before I knew it, I was starting to follow a "plan". There's nothing earth-shattering in her book. It's nothing that I hadn't heard before. But apparently, I heard it again at just the right moment.

Today, I am 10 pounds lighter. I am amazed at HOW MUCH BETTER I feel with just 10 pounds off. I'm already sleeping better. My clothes are getting looser. And I'm happy with the knowledge and confidence that I CAN DO THIS.
I'll keep you posted...
