Day 1:  I shopped yesterday to get all the food we needed to start.   We had a lovely large salad last night.  It did have oil and it did have feta, so a bit different from the salad today.   This morning I felt ready.   I got up and made myself a big bowl of fruit.  The kids (especially Kate) was excited about the fruit.  Usually I have trouble getting her to eat in the morning.  She was all over a bowl of grapefruit, strawberries, apple and kiwi.   I enjoyed mine alot.  

I decided to give up the Diet Coke too.   Might as well do it big.   That is hard.  I don't have a headache yet.  I have drank water all morning.  I really want a diet coke.   I am going to really try NOT to give in.  

I tried to take a picture of myself, a full body shot.   I was doing it in the mirror in our bedroom and kept getting a big reflection glare.  I did get an awful picture of my head.   I know that is what I must look like, I don't look that way in my mind.   I look all bloated and have a sick looking color.  I don't really know how old I look, I just know that I look unhappy.  And I don't think of myself as being unhappy but I guess somehow I am.   

I'm going to try to keep going.  I'm scared but hopeful.....
