The Scale MUST be Lying

Ever stepped on the scale and had a number in your head that you thought you were going to be.  You even give yourself 10-15 lbs so that you will be under and then it won't feel so bad.   Well, I did that this morning, and up popped the number.......no!!!!!!!  It cannot be!  Get off and try again.  Same number, there is no way, try again.  Damn!!!!

This morning I was trying to make a decision; do I weigh myself and start this journey AGAIN on a negative note?  Or do I take the painful number for what it is and go from there?  I decided to take it for what it was, a starting point to a life of healthiness, with a side note of skinniness. 

So I have day 1 in the books.  I think today I have eaten more fruit than I have in the last week combined.  Has it been easy?  Not when there is a Valentine chocolate that I forgot to eat last night staring me in the face.  Not when I am making supper and I am hungry and don't really feel like ANOTHER piece of fruit.  But then again this is not going to be an easy journey.  Am I going to fall off the boat and eat that "unhealthy food" again?  You can be sure.   However this time I am going to try and get it in my head that, one trip doesn't mean I stay on the ground for months before I get up again. 

So into the boat I go, just leaving the dock.......let the paddling begin.
