My Diet, week 1-Okay, Okay

Actually, my weight-loss diet began when I got a scale. I didn't use the scale for quite a while after my initial upsetting weigh-in, but there it sat, a silent reminder that I needed to get going on my diet and stop procrastinating.

Here's what I did the first week:

1. Put the scale in a prominent place in my bedroom.
2. Got a schedule of the exercise classes at the company gym.
3. Took slightly longer walks with my dog.
4. Sorted my too-tight clothes together in the closet.
5. Stopped eating fast food.

This was the beginning, all fairly easy for me. I already had a few good food habits which I kept, such as eating breakfast and eating slowly.

I recommend starting with the easy stuff, especially easy stuff that no one else will notice. This way your secret is safe with you. You can get off and on the diet at any time and no one knows.
