Jennifer's Diary

Dear Diary,

Today is my first day of creating the new me. The me that isn't going to be fat anymore. The me that doesn't get winded from climbing a flight of stairs. I know I'm going to have to take baby steps to get where I need to be. I know it will be hard, but I'm prepared for it (I think). I know what I need to do to get where I need to be. The problem is going to be staying motivated to do it. For some reason I tend to lose motivation about a week into any weight loss attempt. I'm determined to stay motivated this time, to stick it out until the end. My mini goal is 135, which I'm hoping to achieve by sometime in early May.

Is it odd that I'm a little freaked out about this whole thing? It feels like I'm going to lose part of my identity. I am, but in a good way, right?
