Going to try to get this thing going.

I'm Rachel. I love food. I love to cook it, I love to eat it. My body reflects that love! I am so determined this time to get myself and my family healthier. I've tried in the past and I always fail. I have very little self control and I need to be accountable to somebody, so this blog was born. I am going to post exactly what I eat every day, good or bad. I will share yummy healthy recipes when I find them, and once a week on Sunday I will weigh myself and (can't believe I'm gonna do this part...) post it here to track progress. Tomorrow I am going to buy a good scale and start my weigh ins, probably at night because that's when it's easiest to weigh, record, and blog about it! I have struggled with weight loss in the past and the only reason I've ever lost any weight is because I'm a freak of nature when it comes to pregnancy and have lost weight with both of my pregnancies (2 in 2 years time). I would love to get pregnant again in July with one last little Anderson baby, but I would love it even more if I could get a little healthier first. I have blood pressures issues which would almost certainly be alleviated by some weight loss and lots of personal issues with body image and self-confidence. I am going to need lots of support and encouragement through all of this, but I have a fabulous group of friends and I'm confident that with all of your love and support I can do this!
