Today I leave behind a love, I leave behind an addiction of food.  Today I am beginning a new way of eating and ultimately a new way of living.  After friends of mine had success with the Herbal Magic program, I thought I would try it.  I have no will power and figured the monetary commitment would help me stay with it.  So after weeks of thinking about it and putting it off I walked into the office and made a commitment that will change my life. 

It was an intersting process.  My “Magic Lady” asked me a ton of different questions and I think overall, what came out of the consultation was that I want my outsides to match my insides.  I feel as if I am a happy person who is outgoing and has a zest for life and is funny and has so many great qualities, but when I look in the mirror that is not what I see.  I want my physical qualities to match my mental and spiritual qualities.  So I signed on the dotted line and put the money down and today is the beginning of something very difficult but very needed.

This morning I began my new regiment.  I took my herbal pills, consulted my book and had a small breakfast and now am drinking obscene amounts of water and craving the food that I used to so readily give myself.  Only 20 more minutes till lunch, I can do it.  So to distract myself, I will blog.  This will be my new “diary” of sorts, a place I can come to and vent my frustrations and tell of my triumphs.  Today is a day of new beginnings it is the last day that I weigh 241 lbs and do nothing about it.
