To young to drive

Over the last 6 days I've had a chance to do a lot of reflection on my life. Understanding what points I started to not care about how I looked, felt or wanted for my life. Oddly enough I am one who likes to be well dressed and everything look nice and neat but I didn't give the same attention to the weight that was being added to my over-all appearance. Not until I stood in front of a full length mirror a year ago did I really see what I looked like. I'd been avoiding it at all cost for at least 10 years. You'd think it would hit me when I'd walk in front of a store window but I must have been too busy looking at all the things to buy. :)

Last night while driving home I was sitting at a red light waiting for it to turn green-felt like forever. A mini van pulled up next to me and the driver looked like she was 12. 12! Really, has time really gone that fast? I thought to myself "had the driving age for getting your license drop to 12?" HA. But I thought to myself when I was 16 what was I dealing with...I was starting to deal with weight. I wasn't by today's standards "over weight" but I wasn't skinny either. Most of my high school years I maintained my weight but it was shortly after leaving for college that my life spiraled out of control....we'll talk more about that later.

I'm feeling better and day by day learning my new routine. Tomorrow will be 1 week since I started this. I'm pretty excited to reach 1 week and see what the next week brings.

Weight loss: 7 pounds.... total lost 11.4 pounds :)
