Are you ready? Are you ready for this?

Here we are day two of my weight loss journey. Oh no, what happened to day one? Well gotta love college students... I meant to start writing yesterday.. but put it off til today.. butthat's okay.. Who says counting must start at one anyway? Today in my math class we started counting at 20.. so I figure I am still ahead of the game.

The reason I am doing this blog is mostly to help myself. If I believe I have people waiting to read what I write I have more incentive to actually get on the computer and write. Granted, it is completely possible that no one will ever read this, but the point is I believe there are. So, Hello readers!

I have spent my whole life, all 19 years of it, struggling with my weight. I have tried many things, but always gave up after a while. Not this time. I will turn 20 in November, and officially not be a teenager anymore. It is time to grow up and take control of my life. Yesterday I started Nutrisystem. I chose this plan not because I want the work done for me, but so I can prove to myself that by only eating these things I survived and felt better than I would if I continued mymonstrous eating habits. Also, hopefully I will see some results which will give me incentive to continue.

So now on to what I had to eat today. For breakfast a very small cinnamon roll, a pear, and yogurt. Then for lunch black bean tortilla soup, string cheese, and come carrots and cherry tomatoes. I should probably add here that I am a vegetarian, so for a regular meat included Nutrisystem diet entrees will be different. For my afternoon snack I was going to have some grapes and cottage cheese.. well when I went into the fridge to retrieve my cottage cheese I found that putting it in the back was a bad idea.. it was frozen.. so I had another thing of yogurt.. which means I will forgo yogurt tomorrow, so I don't have to go back to the store quite so soon. I have not had dinner yet, but my plan is cheese ravioli and a salad, add bell peppers and onion. And of course my yummy Newman's Own Light Italian dressing.

Eating healthy is expensive, I can see why most Americans don't like it.. I spent almost $50 on produce alone.. not exactly what a college kid usually spends on food. but it will be worth it.

It is time to take control and make my exclamation to the world. I can go from being a miserable comfort eater, to an adult who leads a healthy life style
