I was reading Womens Health Magazine (I randomly picked it up in the Target checkout lane...I don't normally read health-centric material) a few weeks ago. In the magazine there was a little blurb about a new book by Fitness Trainer and Nutrition Expert Jackie Wagner. The book is called This Is Why You're Fat (and How to Get Thin Forever). Instantly I was intrigued. I was impressed that someone who'd never met me could possible tell ME why I am fat. So naturally the impulse shopper in me couldn't resist running out to the book store and buying the book. I figured if I read the first five pages and thought it was totally off-base (like Skinny Bitch) I would just return it to the book store. Really boring and long story short...I loved what I read in the first five pages that I read the whole first chapter right away. What I learned from that first chapter has changed the way I look at food for the rest of my life.
I've decided that I'm going to go through with Jackie's plan and blog about it here. I've never been really good at writing in a journal, but I'm on the computer everyday so heres hoping it works! Each day I'll write my "Food Journal" and a few of my thoughts about the plan and my progress. I can't wait to see where this lifestyle change leads me!
