Good day, Long day...

Wow! Today has been a long, long day. I've had a good day, but I am very tired. I ate good foods today and feel so good about keeping it up. I have so appreciated the comments that I get on my blog. It's so nice to know that I have people that are following my journey and being so supportive. I find that I really need that to help me get to where I'm going. I am totally committed to this and feel so glad that I was finally able to be committed. When Kristina first approached me about this "biggest loser competition", I thought that it was a good idea, but it wasn't right for me right now. For some reason, something clicked and I decided that it was the right time. I am enjoying the benefits of eating right so much! I love having more energy and feeling more confident in myself. I guess I have more confidence in myself because I am exercising self control. There have been so many times before when I would be in the grocery store and walk by the candy isle and pick up some candy just because I wanted to have it on hand if I had a hankerin' for chocolate later on. Now, when I go in the store, I still walk past the same isles, but I no longer feel like I need to but the chocolate just in case. I think because I am keeping myself well-fed throughout the day, I don't need to fill up with sweets. I have noticed that I have more focus than I did before. It's been fun thinking of new meals I can cook for my family. I love eating better! What is different than any other time that I've tried to lose weight is that I am actually eating! I eat so much throughout the day--it's crazy! I am always satisfied, never stuffed and never starving. It's amazing that it's not even been a week yet, and I already see little or big differences here and there.
