Day 1
May 04, 2013
So, today I began my 10 day pre-diet. I'm ready for this, but I never realized how much food is forced upon us everywhere we go. Since I cannot have regular food for now, I seem to notice ads more than ever before. On the highway there are tons of billboards and I see a ton of ads for food when watching tv. It is crazy! No wonder we have an obesity problem in America! With that being said, I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I am obese. I never really thought about that before. I know I am overweight when I looked in the mirror but being obese never registered, or I never wanted to admit it to myself.
Even though I desperately would love a pizza, a hamburger, or Mexican food right now, I know this is the best thing I need to do for me. My health is very important to me, especially since I am starting nursing school this fall. I know I can do this, and I'm so thankful I have family and friends supporting me. I know I'll get through this and be so thankful I made this life changing decision.
