DAY ONE: DIET

I got through my first day on the diet. It wasn't hard because it was the first day! No big deal. Today probably won't be hard either. It is this weekend that will be hard. I walked yesterday and did well. I will keep it up. I wish one day of effort provided results, though! I wish that I could get on the scale and see my efforts pay off. But I know that it takes time. My doctor said that in his experience, after the first 20lbs, it starts to fall off. Is that 20 lbs after the 13 I have already lost? Or does that mean I only have 7 more before it starts falling off. And will I need to start carrying around a broom and dust pan when it starts falling off? Where does it all go? Could it fall off at inopportune times? When I am at church leading the music, will a huge, fat-blob fall off of me? Will I be embarrassed? I can't wait to see what happens. Of course, I am skeptical. I have never lost more than 19 lbs before. That is not true, I have lost way more than that, but it is losing and gaining and losing the same 10 lbs every time. I wish I could add up all the weight I have lost and say, "I lost 87 lbs!!!" Of course, then people would look at me sidways and think, "How big was she before!!!???"
