My challenge to myself during the entire twenty-eight days of February is to pay attention to what I eat. But! Not only that, my challenge is to eat consciously and write every single day about it. I want to break compulsive habits and form new, healthy habits. I am not going to count what I eat, though I may record it for ideas for the future, etc. But really, I want to concentrate on how eating makes me feel.

A few years ago I did South Beach Diet. I'm going to take some ideas from phase one and combine it with eating fruit and fruit juices. At least for a week or so in hopes that my body will detox without my having to be entirely hardcore about it. I remember during those first two weeks when I did South Beach I craved fruit a lot to the point where I had a strawberry and it was considered cheating. I think this is silly and not the point of this challenge, so I am allowing myself to eat fruits.

I'm going to chronicle the way I feel, the weight I've lost and other changes I notice. I'll chronicle inches lost, breakdowns and differences I experience in my skin. This month of February will be a month of change and growth, and hopefully that will also reflect in this blog!
