The Beginning of the End

Today will hopefully mark the beginning of the end of my days as of being overweight, self-conscious, and occasionally self-loathing, and the beginning of my journey to becoming a slimmer, healthier, and more confident woman.  My first diet, a 12 day stint as a Rawist, will be my first self-imposed challenge to prove whether I truly possess the will power to practice self-controlled eating.

I weighed in this morning at 213.6 pounds.  Although ultimately my goal is to weigh 140 pounds, I have no set weight loss objective for this 12 day raw food diet.  This is mostly because I am not sure what a realistic goal for 12 days is and because I think the goal of eating strictly raw foods will be enough of a challenge for now.
