When I first made the decision to start eating clean I was worried about my ability to follow through with this plan. I mean lets be serious, I have tried this and other failed weight loss attempts before. I was prepared to try anyways because I thought to myself, no one knows, what’s the worst that could happen.
As January 1 (Day 1 of my plan) came closer I decided that I needed to create some level of accountability for myself so I announced my attentions to the world (my world) via Facebook. A slightly scary idea as now friends and family knew my plan and ultimately would know if I was successful or if I failed.
Then a friend suggested that I post my efforts and my food log so interested parties could follow along. My immediate reaction, absolute fear. I was standing in the Grocery store as I read this message on my Blackberry and I felt completely paralyzed by fear. There was no way that I could expose myself this way. However as I thought I realized that this was the one thing that I had not tried before. I have always struggled with weight loss in private, the furthest I have gotten to going public was a room full of strangers at Weight Watchers. Could I possibly let the people closest to me know about my 15 year battle with food and weight loss?
My friend suggested to me that it would make me accountable. I thought about it for another minute and realized that maybe this is what I need. Maybe this is what needs to be different for me to be successful.
. . . . And so The Year of the Shrinking Mommy is born.
