I know I will try everything, but I will control how much I eat.  I don’t plan on stuffing my face like every other Thanksgiving dinner.  I’ve got self control.  I’ve got self control.  I’m worried, but since I’ve joined this on-line support system, I feel empowered.  Wish me luck!!

I have officially lost 2 pounds!  I am so super excited.  Hey, 2 pounds is still 2 pounds.  Some things that I have been doing are going to the park with the kids.  While they are riding bikes, I’m walking around.  We were playing hide-and-go-seek at the park and I was literally running around.  I was all sweaty, but we had fun.   I think the kids were a bit surprised that I was running.  My husband also bought me an eliptical tranier from Craigs list.  It’s a really nice one, new too.  I can only do about .5 miles right now.  I’m huffing and puffing, but I’m moving–and I think that’s the point.  I have also been watching, carefully, how many calories I am intaking.  I’m so proud of myself.  I know I can keep it up!! 

Okay. So I’m new to this on-line support system, but I am by no means new to the challenges of losing weight.  I think I know what I have to do, but my problem is just doing and eating the right things.  It’s simply just easier to eat what I want to eat, but I’m tired of the way I look.  I’m a beautiful young Latina woman.  I just need to do stay on the wagon and take losing weight seriously.  I need to get motivated and stay motivated.  Does anyone have any great suggestions?  I will take any help I can get.  I just need to stay motivated and make good eating choices!
