Today is the First Day

I will no longer be a slave to food. I will no longer think about food as soon as I'm done with a meal, I will however think about how I can make my meals healthier. I will plan ahead as best I can. I will not be on a diet. I will make better food choices one meal at a time. I will do this so my family and I can become healthier. I will do this to keep a promise to my daughter. I will do this so I will be here for my daughter.

This is the day. I even made a deal with Jason, yet he hasn't quite agreed to it yet, but I said if I loss and keep off 50 lbs by next summer, I get to buy a bike with the little cart that goes behind it for Sami. That way Nancy and I can go biking together next summer and I think Sami would love it. So today is the first day of the rest of my life.
