So the First Brick is put in place.

      Today, I started out a little rough. I didn't eat breakfast because I was running a little late to class. I've read all over the place in every diet and exercise book that breakfast is really really important. It gets the metabolism up and running for the day. It also starts my day off with more energy, when I actually get around to eating it. So I'm going to be starting by getting my breakfast stuff ready the night before so that when I get up it's ready for me to put together and eat and run. I feel like having a lot of already prepared food will help me not make bad choices because the choices has already been made. I make better choices when I'm not in a rush.  Pre prepared meals and snacks. As long as I have a plan I'll  be better equipped to face my everyday challenges. 
     In the past few days I have talked to two of my friends about my problems and got them on board to help me out. My friend Nicole will be helping me with getting to the gym at least 3 times a week and maybe even more. My friend Kalie will be helping me for when it comes to my money being spent in the right place. I'll be handing over my debit card and will only have access to it when I need groceries or gas for the car, but I will not have access to it all the time like I used to. 
    I've been realizing more and more that this is not just a journey for a healthier physical body, but a healthier life over all. I'm going to be seeing a therapist. I'm getting a tutor for a class so that I can be the best student I can be. I'm also working and realizing that once my physical health is better, I'll be a much better employee because I'll be able to move more quickly and efficiently. It's all got to come together. 
    Today I will also be getting a hold of the rest of my family members and talking to some of my managers at work to just get them on board. It's really hard for me to admit to people my problems. Even though I know that they see it, but actually saying "hey i have a weight problem and I need help" is really hard. So I'm talking to a few people at a time to make it a little less scary. 
     And bit by bit I'm getting closer to my goals.
