This Morning

Happy to report I had a Weight Loss shake for breakfast at 180 calories. Then the kids and I went outside and played ball vigorously for 45 minutes! I was able to spend time with them and get my exercise done at one time! I also weighed. 189.5! I had actually started "trying" to lose weight for a few days before I started the blog. Definition of "trying" is putting forth minimal effort in hopes of getting maximum rewards. But, I guess it payed off! I am very scale oriented. I have to keep myself off of it or I would weigh daily. But I was encouraged. My goal right now is 150. I haven't ever stayed at a good weight. I went from skinny to very not skinny. I never have felt descriminated against or anything like that, but I feel it is the first thing people notice about me. I also, as a Christian, do not want to be un-self-controlled. I control my eating, not the other way around.
