I am taking action.  For a long time I talked about doing something, thought about it, and wrote about it, but now I'm doing something.  It's a small something and it doesn't feel like it's making a difference yet, but that is my problem.

I  very quickly become impatient with myself.

"I walked 2 miles two days in a row!  Why am I not thin yet?!"

That's why I give up.  Impatience.  I'm going to try to be more patient with myself and the process this time.  I've done it before.  I kept telling myself, "You can't fail if you don't give up." 

The first small change I'm making is daily juicing.  I always thought juicing was too radical, something for health kooks, but after watching Hungry for Change, (available on Netflix right now) I became inspired to add one glass of green juice a day to my diet. 

Typical daily green juice: spinach, kale, cabbage, pineapple, lemon, ginger

So far I'm not noticing any benefits.  But then, it's only day four.  Silly me, I was actually tempted to declare the practice useless.  I'll stick with it, though.

I wish it worked like magic, though.  I wish I suddenly felt energetic and no longer craved pizza and burritos. Oh, well.  I'm not giving up.
