Darling Lucy's Transition to A Healthier Lifestyle

Hello everyone! My handle for the purpose of this blog is Darling Lucy.

This is a blog where my partner-in-crime and I can blog about our journey to lose weight.

First announcement:

I have decided to take on a new attitude for 2008. I have been using the word 'diet' for years and all I've done is gain more weight. So now, when people ask if I'm dieting or how is my new diet coming I will reply "I am not dieting. I am making a transition to a healthier lifestyle". Somehow when I put it that way, I don't have such a feeling of dread. It just seems more positive to me. I have failed at pretty much every "diet" I've been on so I've finally accepted that diets just don't work for me. I need a full overall, a permanent change. I need to find the way that I'm going to take care of my body on a daily basis for the rest of my life. Diet implies (to me) that it's a temporary and sometimes desperate measure while 'transition' is more final. It’s time for me to gradually leave my bad eating habits and my couch potato ways behind me.

Please drop by from time to time to see how we are doing.
