Introduction Text i am 47 years old and weight 185 lbs. I had different goals in the past but want to change them and begin anew. I used to focus only on wanting to lose 43 lbs. Now I have learned here at SparksPeople that I should focus on my diet. It's a mess. I need to change from eating out and junk foods and bingeing. I will look more closely at the way I eat. I want to redo my diet to include 2 fruits and 2 veggies a day. I want to cook more at home and cook healthy recipes that are simple but delicious. I want to teach my son how to eat right but I must change our diets in order to set a good example for him before he goes off to college in a couple of years. My new goal is to, by August, 2008, make the changes permanent that I have mentioned. I want to live healthy and for my son to live a healthier life. I have to reach this goal for both of us. Then I can focus more on weight loss. Time to get healthy!

I will learn how to cook more healtful meals. I will add 2 veggies daily and 2 fruits to mine and my son's diet. I will drink 8 or more glasses of water (my son already does this). I will continue to read up on how to eat right. I will reach these goals by August 31, 2008.

Choose lunch and dinner meals for a week, make a shopping list and stick to what's on the list. Choose fruits in season. Choose recipes that include veggies. Eat meals at dinner table.
