Maybe a new approach

I'm still struggling. I suppose if dieting were easier it wouldn't have the word "die" in it. Hmm, how many ways can I look at that? Die to self? Die to self-indulgence? The will must die? "Create in me a clean heart, oooo God. And renew a right spirit within me." I want to be a new creation. (At least a smaller creation). Yes, now I've gone all religious on you. Well it is my Blog :o) My mother had a Christian diet calendar when I was a girl. Each month quoted a Bible verse that somehow applied to dieting. There's one month I can't forget. It was a quote said by John the Baptist, "He must increase and I must decrease."

So now I'm coming at this from the other end. I got the Wii Fit for Mother's Day. It arrived last Tuesday. We set it up and started using it on Wednesday. I like that it will track my weight and BMI (body mass index). I especially like that it seems more accurate than my scale (I gained 15 pounds just by changing the battery - turns out it's only 5). Fortunately it only has a few categories. So I register as "obese" rather than "morbidly obese" or "disgustingly obese". But, unfortunately, it will take me a looong time to become anything other than "obese". I'll do the body test again tomorrow and see if anything changes (please let me go below the line and not above!). It also claims that my fit age is 1 year below my actual age, we'll see if that changes too. I'm hoping that by getting off my bum and moving I will encourage myself into dieting again. We'll see.
