I can do this!!

I have been at this now for three weeks. It's been like a rollercoaster ride. I've been up...I've been down. The hardest part for me has been going to the gym everyday...but seeing the scales go up instead of down. At first I lost 12 pounds right away...only to gain five pounds back over the next two week as I worked out. That was discouraging, but I'm happy to say this morning when I woke up the five extra pounds were gone. For the first time in my life...I feel like I can do this. I've tried dieting before but alway with a feeling of dread. I felt it was impossible. I don't know where the change has come from..but now I feel passionate about being healthy. I feel like finally I can do this and stick with it. I have to for me...noone else.
