Back on the Wagon
So, I bit the bullet and started a diet today. I've been trying to do this/talking about doing this for nearly a year now. And, now I've done it. I joined eDiets, which is convenient in that it tells me exactly what I'm supposed to eat and prepares a shopping list for me. Usually, I like that part of things. Its fun to plan meals and decide what you're going to eat. However, this semester I have a lot on my plate so instead of letting my health and well being continue to slide, I'm outsourcing.
Good for me.
This is, technically, my first full day on the diet. I signed up yesterday, so last night was the first "on the wagon" meal. I made my own turkey burger. This is going to sound bizarre, but its nice making your own burger patty. Its therapeutic, chopping and mashing things together. I didn't use my fancy blender/food processor last night to chop the onions for the burger, but in the future I will. I'm pretty proud of myself for taking this small step. Of course, I'm also pretty pissed that I put all this weight on in the first place and that this step has to be taken at all. Ah, well. Sometimes, you have to take the good with the bad.
