Greetings from Whats-her-name

Still no great insights on the name-change idea.  So, while I do feel like a new and different person, I still haven't quite figured out who that person is!

Perhaps, for now, it's best to focus on the basics.  Write down what I eat.  Count those points.  Try to throw in some exercise now and then.  Step Away From The Haagen Dazs. 

I think the hardest part of this losing weight journey is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to do it overnight.  Every morning I wake up and I have to decide again to follow the program.  Now, I do understand that the whole overnight idea is unrealistic.  But I am not by nature a patient person.  Fortunately, I'm not relying on my nature to get me through this process!  If I were, I would have given up long ago.

Come to think of it, I have given up multiple times over the years.

This time, however, I'm relying on God to get me through.  All I have to do is cooperate with Him, which is both a relief and a struggle.  The Good News is that even when I mess up one day I get to start fresh the next!  And so do you.

Hugs.
