I stepped on the scale this morning. I was off on my weight. By quite a bit. That's not good. My BMI is actually 28.7. It looks like I have some work to do. And by some, I mean a lot of work to do.
I would love to lose 40 lbs by May. I don't think that's feasible.
I think 20 lbs by May is much more realistic, though still a challenge.
If I go with 11% of my body weight, that's 16.17 lbs. Dang. That's a lot of poundage.
I am officially at my biggest weight ever, save when I was very close to giving birth to Eliana. Even then, only by a few (less than 10) lbs.
My life has GOT to stop revolving around food. It CANNOT be my source of comfort, my emotional stability, or my celebration. It is very difficult for me, though, to keep the pendulum from swinging the opposite way and depriving myself of food and the enjoyment of food. How do I keep in perspective the idea of "food for the body, not the body for food"? I don't know.
Step one, though, today, is to record what I eat. Start gaining a realistic look at what I am consuming on a daily basis. That's my goal for today: Record what I eat. All of it.
Step 1: BMI - DONE
Step 2: Record Food - TODAY
