Day 1: Going Public

So I truly doubt ANYONE will read this......
That said, this is MY SPACE to declare my intentions and to set forth my plan.  I have roughly 42 days before I will see family who I have not seen since October.  I used to be a size 10 beautiful girl who had absolutely no idea I was pretty at all.  Seeing family again stresses me out.....why? Because I am not that skinny girl any longer. I lost 80 lbs so that I could be at a healthy weight to get pregnant.  I got pregnant and have been carrying around those 80 lbs.  Why, you ask?  I am a working mom who is ANGRY that I have to work. I want to stay at home with my beautiful boy.  More importantly, food is my DRUG and I use it to quell moments of sheer panic, boredom, anger....you name it, I treat it with food.
I am SO TIRED of who I have become and I long to be the mom I know I can be. 
This is my introduction to the world. This is my declaration.
I have set up this blog to record my journey to truly changing my life.
So for day 1, I have made my plan public, no matter if anyone reads it or not. I have also taken a day where I have eaten all kinds of garbage and ended the day with a Fullbar. I am intrigued that there is a product on the market that can help ease my ravenous appetite. It was pretty tasty and more importantly my nagging nightly hunger doesn't really seem to be bothering me.....
Goals for tomorrow:
1.  PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN.....I will focus on eating good foods which will fuel me all throughout my day. Obviously, I'm not just going to eat protein, but that's a good goal for me. I numb with carbs and cheese, so to change my pattern of eating will be a step forward.
2.  WATER, WATER, WATER......less soda, more water. Enough said
3.  EXERCISE, EXERCISE....well, you get it. I'm a member at Curves and have been out for more than a week (eek!) because my son and I have been sick.

Well, time is short, it's bath time for my boy.  I am so glad to have a place for me, a place where I can learn to get back to me.
