Well, here I go. I think I"m ready to start making some serious changes to my daily behavior (health wise). I have started writing down every thing I eat, and trying to make healthier food decisions. I've done diets, weight watchers, exercise and I just didn't have the heart to make the "life change" that needs to go with it. I think now, I'm ready. I don't like being the only fat mom in the group. Chairs at movie theaters are getting uncomfortable. I always thought I was fat before, now I am. I was just fine before. I could have toned up, but I was by no means fat. Sometimes I wish I knew then what I know now. But, since I can't go back in time, I will change going forward.
I made a reference the other day to my husband that I think will be a reoccuring theme in my posts. I said to him "I feel like this (my weight) is my Mt. Everest." His response was a good one. You can't climb Mt. Everest in one day so don't think you'll lose weight in one day either. Wow, very thoughtful. One has to prepare to climb Mt. Everst. There are base camps along the way. It takes months to get to the summit. So, I have to readjust my thinking and realize that this is going to be a slow climb. I am not a naturally fat person. This is not something I've been struggling with my whole life. I just need to eat less and exercise more.
Part of my goal will be to journal (blog). Write down everything I eat. And get moving!! Ok, I'll admit, the moving part is going to wait until the weather warms up because I am not going out in this cold weather. Yes, I can work out in my house, but I won't. There, I admit it. I won't work out in my house. I feel silly. Walking my fat ass in public is much less embarrassing to me. (yes that is said with sarcasm).
I already feel better. Just getting this much done seems like a good first step.
