Step One.

Hey everyone. My name is Heather and I'm here to change.
Okay. So i realize this isn't anything like Alcoholics Anonymous. But just because i'm not an alcoholic does not mean that I do not need help. In fact, there are other addictions in the world that are not drug or alcohol related.
My problem is that I love food. It's not that I am obese and i'm not really all that big, but I could be on my way to adult obesity.
Here is what sucks. Food, unlike alcohol and smoking, is something your body needs to live. It's not like I am addicted to cigarettes and can stop all together. Food is something that you have to eat everyday in order to survive. Basically, you HAVE to feed your addiction (unless you decide to not eat at all but that could resort in death).
My plan is to write on here everyday. I want to tell everyone about my progression... or (God forbid) my regression. I will tell you my entire experience because I know for one that losing weight is an emotional experience that too many people have to deal with.
I want to deal with mine now. I plan to eat better and exercise properly for life. No fad diets, all me. Eating good choices and liking good choices will help me stick to it and make what I eat a life style choice. Writing on here everyday might help me stay with it and reach my goal.

Remember: You eat to live. You don't live to eat.

This here is step one of the three R's.
[X] 1) Realization. (I realized that I have to change)
[ ] 2) Reformation. (I will go through the change)
[ ] 3) Replacement. (I will replace a new, healthier body with my old one)
