I began the new eating plan yesterday. The first 2 weeks are spent on preparing yourself for actually dieting. Yesterday, we had to list the advantages to losing weight. I will share with you a few of mine. I had a lot of reasons, but I won't bore you with all of them.

I'll look better and more attractive
I'll have more confidence
I 'll feel happier when I look in the mirror
I won't feel so self conscious
I'll feel more optimistic
I'll be able to keep up with Vanessa
I'll like myself better
I'll feel as if I have accomplished something important
I'll be less self critical
I'll be more assertive
I'll feel in control

I forgot to weigh in this morning due to Vanessa being sick and putting my schedule out of wack. I was supposed to read my list of reasons and I didn't do it, so I did have a bit of a pig out this morning. I am back on track though!
