Just made my first appointment for tomorrow.

My son and I went to the Santa Clarita, CA Jenny Craig center right as they were closing, so we made appointments and grabbed a two menus to view.

My first thoughts.....

WOW..how is there birthday cake on the menu !?! I have sworn off sweets and always tell my son to skip sweets or limit to one every now and then as a splurge. Sweets daily, that will be new.

CONCERNED...is this going to provide enough protein? The breakfast items look a little slim on the protein, but I felt reassured when I saw that a dietary specialist has reviewed and created the plan. Maybe I will learn what protein, carb, balance we really need?

AM I GONNA BE HUNGRY....1200 calories, I don't know if I will be going to bed hungry? 

My fears...

That this time isn't different, that I will fail again and let myself down. Because my son is joining me in the journey, I can't let him down. 

Normally, when I fail I tell myself that I should accept myself as I am, that I am not really that overweight. Why that excuse won't work now is that I know that there can be unflattering angles on camera and I need to minimize that plus, I desire freedom on wardrobe options. If I don't succeed my son won't. 

Now thinking about GOALS:

1. My first goal is to see the number 150.0 on the scale.
2. Second goal is to see 145.0 on the scale--10 lbs gone by the 20th of November. 

What 10 lbs released from my body would be like:

• It would put me in a size smaller, an 8/6
• It would feel good to know that I would look better on camera with my face slimmer.
• More clothing options would be available to me to wear.
• For my son, it would help him run faster, build his confidence that he CAN do this!

Tomorrow is our first weigh-in day.  

What are your goals? How will it feel once you get there?
