Preparing for the Challenge

Hi Everybody! Isn't this exciting? I am looking forward to losing all of the extra pounds on me I really have no need for. At this point, as I wait for supplies to arrive, I am preparing my mind to do what will benefit my body most. As I was growing up, I was told to finish what was on my plate. Obviously I learned that lesson well and as a result there will be some necessary self brain-washing involved. Nobody is going to starve if I neglect to eat those last few chunks of bread or scoop of mashed potatoes! (Repeat 3 x) I have some extra incentive to do this and do it well. My first incentive is my twin sister who has had great success on this diet and is, for the first time in recent memory, smaller than myself. The other is my brother is getting married and I don't want to look like the heavier, much older sister. Last Saturday I went shopping and bought a bunch of organic chicken, wild caught sole and halibut and some shrimp. I spent my Saturday night weighing out each portion and it was fun! I am so up to the challenge!
