Enough!

I have been putting this off for far too long.  I owe it to myself and my kids to change this now.  I just weighed and I am back to 350 pounds.  I am 38 years old and will soon be 39.  Tonight was bad.  I was busy and I fell back into that old habit of just getting something quick...fast food!  Between fast food and my love for soda I am slowly killing myself.  Who knows, maybe it is not so slow.

I decided to make a public blog of my struggles so that I can be accountable to whoever wants to follow this blog.  I have never been very open about my struggles with weight.  In high school I was in great shape.  I was 175 pounds as a senior.  I had six pack abs.  When I went to college all of that started to change.  Here I am today, quite frankly in the worst shape of my life.  My goal will be to get below 200 pounds so I have a long way to go.  This changes now.

For starters, my relationship with soda is over.  From now on it is good old H2O.  I cannot stand the lack of taste but hopefully I will get used to it because I am not going back.  If I fail, I will be completely honest on this blog.  I will limit fast food.  I will continue to post my weight.  I will plan to do so every fifth day.  I will blog about it at least that frequently.  I will next weigh in on the 25th of October. And so it begins...

    1. Hmm, I like your attitude but what if you come across some kind of a super granny?

  3. If you find you need caffeine, even for a bit, there are plenty of water supplements without sugar, even. Mio makes one that's green and tastes like smarties candies. I REALLY like it. But yes, the biggest thing is re-learning how to eat and committing to spending time in exercise, even walking to begin with. Please, before doing anything requiring much exertion, make sure your doc agrees with it. They put scares into us for a reason sometimes. But I'll be here watching and encouraging. Do it!
