Weight Loss

Hello all,

So I have been working hard this week to lose weight, I have lots of it get rid of, and I would like to do it as soon as possible, so I am only eating approximately 1400 calories a day, which really would not be an issue, except that I love Dr. Pepper, which is on average 550 calories.  It is all insane, I did not realize how much I was actually eating, and I went through a couple of days of hell when I first started the lower calorie count.  But I have adjusted, and I give myself one 'cheat' day a week where I try to stay around 2000 calories, and eat what I have been craving.  Now it is time to get rid of the Dr. Pepper.  But that is probably harder than chocolate.  =0)

What I have learned is that you have to really want to change, if not it is not going to happen.  While I have said for years that I am going to lose weight, this is the first time I have really committed to the changes in my lifestyle necessary to do so.  Exercise is not going to work for me, I am going to have to diet to lose this weight, exercise will help, but it will not do it all. 

This is my year, I will lose this weight, and I will keep it off, and I will be happier for it.

All right, I guess that is all, I will keep you guys informed, as much as I ever do at least...
