Weight 4 Me

Actually the title is a misnomer.  I have been trying to lose weight all my adult life. However, today is the first day that I will share with you.

I am hoping this forum will keep me on track and find a group of people that will support and encourage each other to our collective goals.  I am really motivated this time.  That makes this whole thing sound like a done deal but all the same pitfalls are still there and all the little traps that I typically fall into still lie in wait for me. 

I can hear the chips and Mountain Dew whispering to me from across the room. "Come over here for just a minute. You know you want to. We won't hurt you. Not just one little one. You can be good later." 

Today I am home alone and find myself grazing for some kind of goody to assuage my need to snack. It really doesn't matter what I find. I will soon be looking for something else. If I eat something sweet then I will need something salty and vice versa. I eat out of boredom. And nerves and stress and . . .you get the picture.

So here is the plan. I plan to have only healthy things in my home. Fruits, veggies and low fat snacks that won't totally wreck my plan. I also plan to find something to stay busy with.  Fingers Crossed! I will let you know how it goes.

If any of you out there have any tips or recipes that you would like to share, please do so.  I am always looking for new ways to tease my palate into believing that we are eating gourmet and  lots of it. I will share my finds here.

If you have stories that you would like to share, please do that also.  This is the place.
