Pre day one

Weight has been an issue for me for longer than I care to admit.  It impacts my life more than I wish to admit.  But it is time to admit it.  It affects my marriage.  It affects my ability to be a mother.  It affects my interest in life around me.  It affects the way I live. 

I feel currently out of control, and I like control.  I don't know how I let myself get to where I am and I don't know how to stop it.  I am leaving for Disneyland in three days for my mom's 60th birthday and I am less excited than I should be because I feel so uncomfortable with myself, yet I don't have control over it.  This blog is my attempt to gain control. This is my attempt to gain control over my feelings and my relationship with food.  I don't know where to go so I am here.  Here is where I plan to change my life. 

I have ready a dozen books at least on food and diets and a healthier lifestyle.  I feel I have a lot of tools and have made some good changes but I just am not feeling well at all right now.  It is time....I am giving myself a bit to get my mind wrapped around my life and to get my Disneyland trip done and then I am on it. 

I have made some healthier changes in my home.  We are significantly reducing sugar consumption, as well as, simple grains.  We are incorporating more whole grain foods which has been a transition but easier for me than for some.  I think I need to reduce overall carbs/grains to feel better.  We are eating more fruits and really need to get more veggies. 

I want to feel good for my family.  I want to be a good example.  I want to feel good about myself and feel worthy about who I am.  Becoming healthier overall will help me to do this.
