Baby Steps

Day one has come and is almost gone.  Bedtime is approaching quickly and I survived the Danger Zone.  I did have one more freeze pop, but only one more.  All the commercials on TV for Applebees and Dominoes made me hungry and normally I would have gone to the cupboard to grab myself a bowl of cereal which ultimately leads to another bowl and sometimes leads to yet another bowl.  But not tonight, and you wanna know why?  Because of the blog!  True Facts.  I kept thinking I would have to blog about it if I ate that bowl of cereal so I didn't.  This has to be the first night in months that I didn't eat a before bedtime bowl of cereal.  Months.  Its the small steps that lead to success and I count that as one little baby step.  Though my food intake could be way better nutrition wise, I ate reasonably today.  Day one was a binge free day.  I made reasonable choices.  I really can't ask for more.

Tomorrow I intend to step on the scale.  Its scary, but if I want to track this accurately, I have to take that next baby step and baby step up onto the scale.  I have avoided that scary contraption in my bathroom for far too long and must face the numbers. 

More than the actual numbers, I just want to again be able to wear my favorite jeans.  It pretty sad that my once "fat pants" are now getting too tight. 

Tomorrow Came and hopefully will continue to come!
