So how many times have I started with "Today, I'm going to eat right." or "Today, I'm going to exercise." or "Today, I'm going to set some goals and lose weight." Too many to count. That in itself is discouraging. But having this weight on keeps me prevents me from giving up.

So today, I have made another committment to losing weight....again. Today, I have exercised. Today (so far) I have made good choices in my food selection. Today, I have reminded myself that I will be turning 50 and I want to be under 200. Today, I have reminded myself that I will be going back East to visit family and want to be thinner than last November. Today, I have reminded myself that a trip with friend to the Bahamas is being planned (bathing suit required) and I do not want to be mistaken for a whale.

I want today to be different from yesterday. I want to be successful. I want to be under 200 pounds before I turn 50. Today, I need to constantly remind myself of what I want more quick pleasure or weight loss.
