Hello...welcome to my journal! My name is Marci and I'm really excited to have just joined in here. My intentions are not to lose a lot of weight. While I DO want to lose weight, I'm not so concentrated on the actual numbers. I'm just finishing high school up and going to college in the fall. I really want to get in shape for when I go to school and I know that if I don't start now, I will kick myself in the fall. The reason that I'm not so worried about the number is that I'm not tremendously overweight...it's more like I'm tremendously LAZY. I use food to distract me from everything else that I have to do. But I am lucky to be at a point in time where I don't have any great responsibilities. I am young and my metabolism is still working for me. I feel so much better and happier and have a more optimistic view on life when I'm eating right and exercising. So that's what I'm going to do.
Initially...I'm not going to weigh myself. It won't do anything for me because I already know the relative numbers and don't want to look again until I'm sure that there's been a change. I don't want to look until I feel better about myself. When I really do get to that point where I feel positive about myself, that number won't matter. I'm trying to take a "less-stress" approach towards weight loss and getting healthy. Stressing out is usually what hinders my attempts to losing weight.
I'm really excited about going to school and want to feel confident going on. This is my road to getting there. So, hello to all of you!

. But today I woke up and I'm feeling really really great...once I commit myself to something I will do it. So here I go. This is the first day I haven't had a slip up on my new diet...(Okay, so it's only 9:30 in the morning but...I'll take it.)
