What Was I Thinking?

I'm going to take a page from "Briget Jones's Diary" by Helen Fielding by making the folloiwng statement. No one can be expected to drop all their bad habbits on New Years day. Smokers and drinkers are coming down of of new years eve smoke and drink benges and for me, we've not gone to the shops to get anything remotely "Healthy" in the way of fresh fruit, veggies, ect and aren't likely to any time soon as our van is broken. So might as wel start... later.

No... Starting later wont work, I've been planning to "start" since July of 2007. I got to start sometime so it might as well b now.

So. I may not have "diet food" in the house but there are small changes I can do today that will e doing something, thus "starting" my "diet".

1. Keep a record of everything, and I mean everything I eat. I'm not just going to write it down, I'm documenting it it in pictures. More to the point I'm going to write down everything I eat for the first week, the first through the seventh. I'm not going to change how or what I eat, I'm just going to eat. Well I'm going to do other things too but recording everything I eat will give me a baseline to start from.

Today for example we are having a turkey dinner. A meal I really like. I'm not going to give up stuff I like But I can eat less of it. Also later on this wekend I plan on making pretzles with Skye. I'll just watch how many I eat.

I may not be able to do major things but I can do sall things and that is something. Starting is starting.

I'll leave you with this thought,, another page taken from another book, Dry by Augusten Boroughs. As he relates checking into drug rehab. He's unpacking in his room and describes his room. One part of this I love... He remaked there were thre beds, his, another one with luggage stuffed under it and a third. He acesses the state of things, "one roommate and the thret of a third"

Hah hah! I can so totally get that! I've lived in a bunch of places like that, dorms etc.

Well anyway back to my thought. He also describess a poster, hanging croocidly over his bed.

It is a rainbow springing forth from a footprint and the wors on this poster say.
"The Journey of 1000 miles starts with a single footstep.

So dear reaer does mine...
