The little steps

I keep telling myself it's the little decisions....it's the decision to not have seconds at supper....the decision to have one cookie with milk instead of what I used to have 3-4...The decision to have the salad instead of the cheeseburger....

I know that I have never been good at deiting.  I know that I haven't had an exercise regime since high school.  I know I don't want this to be a fad and that I do want to be 50 pounds lighter, at least, a year from now.  I know this is going to require a lifestyle change and not drastic measures.

So I keep telling myself to change things a little at a time and be realistic.  Don't set myself up for failure.  Don't start all gung ho and then fade out like I usually do.  I want this to be lasting and smart.

So a little step at a time...
