Grocery Store Success

Yesterday at the grocery store I had a proud moment. I was headed down the aisle to pick up some cream of chicken soup and in the same aisle was the chips. I looked at the chips and thought they would go good with the chicken burgers I had planned for dinner. Well I picked up a bag of cheddar and sour cream potato chips, my favorite, and saw that they were light potato chips with no fat. This is good right, well then I really thought this really isn't a good choice. A can of fruit at home in the cupboard would be much better. As I put the bag of chips back on the shelf I wasn't even sad about not eating them. YIPEE!! There is hope. One good decision made will give me strength to make another one. This may be simple, but I was very happy and proud of myself. I don't want to go on a diet, I want to change the way I eat and the way my family eats. I want us to be healthy. I want to be healthy myself. Of course there is nothing wrong with having a few potato chips, but if the bag is in my home I will eat them and I don't need that. The journey continues.

Here I Go

I have decided to start a blog to post about my weight loss. I have a hard time sticking to my plans so I thought if I write down my thoughts and feelings, good or bad, I will be able to gain some strength from that. I have gained 60 pounds since 2004. I just had my second baby and I am ready to get the weight off. I will post later and tell my whole story.
