Step 2
Posted by Ginni
Having spent most of the night, last night reading about different diets and what I must do and things I must never do, my brain is boggled!
One thing is clear, specially from Sylvia’s comments to my previous post, that I must take one step at a time. I loved the idea of the No S diet, but I NEED a S Diet. My S Diet being, one S a day – one step a day.
My first step for today will be to drink a lot more water today. Before a meal in particular as I tend to forget to drink water during the day.
I would say my first step in the right direction was yesterday when I confessed I was lost in this maze and I needed help to get myself out of this weight problem. I wonder how many of these little steps would take me to my goal? I am off to get myself another glass of water now…

Lots of easy, little steps will get you where you want. I know this sounds trite, but taking the first few steps (and even deciding to start) is very hard but it will get easier once you get into stride.
In thinking about my goal a whole year away, it was if I imagined I’d be fat for 364 days and then thin on the 365th. But, the reality is that I started noticing changes within weeks: my face changed shape, my clothes got looser. The small but ongoing changes made a huge difference, gave me a lot of satisfaction and made me VERY determined.

I think lots of steps makes sense to me too. Hmmm and I’ve just realised I haven’t had my water today! No wonder my head hurts.
