I'm a 37 year old woman with 2 kids, a job, a website or two, and close to 70 pounds to lose.
At last weighing I was 207lbs. ... Depressing.
I'm not 6 foot. (In fact a modest 5'5".) There are no gland problems. I don't have any major mental illnesses. (Really, who can say that they are 100% sane?) There isn't a whole lot of reason for me to be in this position other than age, some stress, and laziness.
So enough of that. I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of how it makes me feel, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Most importantly, I'm tired of feeling like a failure. It feels as if it doesn't matter what else I accomplish in my life, as long as I have this rather insane amount of extra weight, there's always an asterix. "* For all her success in life, she did have a weight problem."
Right now I have an asterix that grosses 65-70 pounds. That is one obese asterix.
Unlike previous efforts I'm not making grandios plans, "lifestyle changes", or promises. I'm not going on a "diet". I will create no graphs, carry no notebooks, do no complex calculations. I'm mearly going to try each day to make good choices.
Here's the plan:
- Every day I'm going to try to make at least one good food choice. This sounds overly modest but when you consider that I have been making almost NO good food choices in the last few years, I think this is a great way to start.
- I'm going to incorporate excesise into my life. Every day. This is the closest to "grandiose" as my plan gets. To accomplish this task I've signed up for a 30 day free trial of DailyBurn. More on my reasoning behind this in another post.
- I'm keeping this blog. Every day I'll post about my good choices, feelings, progress, and such. My hope is that at least once in a while the knowledge that I have to post will help me make a good choice. And maybe I'll get famous in the process! (lol)
