My name is Desiree. I like food. Maybe a bit too much. Maybe not enough to cook 5-course meals every night...well, I'm almost there if you count several snacks as courses. Recently I've been dutifully watching the new season of Biggest Loser while eating my carbohyrdrate and fat loaded dinners. It hasn't inspired me enough to change anything. I decided to blog about this today in the hopes that if I write it down and put it out there to the blog world, it will help me to do better and be committed.
So, today is day 1 of my new outlook on food and my relationship with it. I'm not going to start off by going crazy with the dieting. While it may work for some, it's not something that has helped me in the past. I do want to consider what I'm eating more. I resolve to eat more fresh foods (vegetables and fruits) and less soda. More oatmeal and yogurt and less fast food. More fish and less red meat. Baby steps I think is key for me. We are also talking about getting back to the gym and planning a fun trip to look forward to. So, now I've put it out there. Thanks for listening.

Lets help motivate each other as I too have made the commitment to be more conscious of what I eat. No more white bread or rice for me and a lot more whole grain foods.
Lets go to the gym together sometime! I have been going and have to say I am sleeping better. I haven't noticed that I have lost a pound but I am trying not to obsess about it.
Good luck! I really respect anyone that tries to make these changes for themselves. I have cut down almost completely on my junk food meals, and I definitely feel much better. Now if I could only get myself to go running...
