Every day I learn more about nutrition

 I can't believe that at nearly 60 I learned so little about nutrition.  I have dieted all my life with one fad diet after another always wishing for magic or miracles and never once accepting that my weight was directly connected to what and how much I was eating.  It is time finally to learn about nutrition, to take my goal seriously and to commit to eating exactly what my body needs.  The result of this will be weight loss, self respect and an improvement in my health as each day goes by.  I am writing my food down at each meal and watching to make sure I am balanced, eating the right foods in the correct quantity and that I get the maximum nutrients.  I am putting myself first and acting as if this were a matter of life and death.  I am treating myself as carefully and gently as I would a small child whose life depends on me to make the best decisions for her.  I know it takes what it takes and have added exercise to the mix.  I admit that it is difficult at my age and weight to do this but know that it is also possible and that day by day, little by little, I can increase my strength and endurance.  This added activity will help me get to the goal I have set for myself.
