Day 1

Why do we women obsess about our weight? For almost every woman on Planet Earth, there are only two physical shapes. 1) I am fat. 2) She is anorexic. I cannot ever recall my dad, uncles or more recently my husband looking at themselves in the mirror and say "Boy! I look FAT!" or skip breakfast only to succumb to the temptations of the Tiramisu for dinner.
They dont seem to look at mannequins at Macys and sigh that the pretty skirt of size 6 wouldn't fit them or squeeze into heels from Nine West that were meant for dainty feet. I tried to blame the feeling of hopelessness on the fashion industry, the theory being, if there weren't variety in the clothes available, we wouldn't want to mold ourselves to get into them and be happy with the way we are..!
Since I cannot change the way I perceive my body or the mannequin at Macys, Its high time I do something about it. I decided to go Healthy. Stave off the temptation, not give in to the Diet Madness or groom myself for a fitness regime I know I cannot stick to.
Eat when I please, but eat right. It is a physical experiment to see if I can lose weight over the next 90 days by only eating well.
I write this blog for 3 reasons. 1) It will be an honest account of what I do and a daily reminder that I cannot cheat. 2) A reason to go on, knowing that some day someone/anyone might read it and say "hey, maybe plain apples ARE a saner substitute to apple pies" 3) To learn to write a 3 paragraph essay with no syntax or spelling errors whatsoever!

Wish me Luck!
