Let the Hunger Games Begin

After the site in the mirror began to scare me, I spend several nights searching for a solution.  I decide on Nutrisystem because of the cost and convenience.  It seem people really like it or hate it.  I pressed the order button and waited.  I found a scale and hopped on.  It seemed like forever before it informed me of my slow rise in my weight....142 lbs.  I'm only 5'2" and the term overweight began to sink in.  Sigh, I have to do this.

4 days later 2 huge boxes arrived.  3/31/12 my "hunger games" began.  To be honest I wasn't all that hungry and the food wasn't awesome, but very doable.  I have a tough time eating the veggies and drinking all the water.

It has been 6 days since I began this long journey.  I placed the scales weights on 142 and hoped and prayed it wouldn't be balanced.  With trepidation, I climbed on and to my delight the end of the arm fell.  I had lost weight.  I slowly balanced it and 2 lbs were gone.  Wooohoooo!  A great start.  Down to 140 lbs.

Will next week see an more fat cells shrinking?  Easter is Sunday, so time will tell.
