Everything has to have a beginning, right? A starting point. A place to look back at to see just how far you've come, or to realize you haven't yet gone far enough.
For most of my life I've had a weight problem. Even when I didn't have one, I had one. So now, here I am in my 30s, bigger than a dang house. Oh sure-I've lost a lot of weight before, just to put it back on again.
My husband loves me for me, so I've got that going for me. He's a big guy too, and I love him for him. But there is so much we want to do in this life that we just haven't done b/c we are both insecure about our weight. He's more honest about it than I am. I talk a good talk, but then will go hide in the closet with my bag of peanut M&M's to comfort me.
So.. tomorrow is day one. I told a friend it is D Day. I may not be storming the beaches of Normandy, but I am storming the beaches of my unhealthiness. And it will all start with one smart choice... and then another, and another. I don't have a goal as far as how many pounds I want to weigh. I just want the mirror to be a little nicer. I'd like to not get the lecture from my doctor. And it all starts tomorrow. Wish me luck, and tune in to see what happens.

I'm excited for you. Good luck and just remember that you're awesome no matter what you look like in the mirror. ;-)

Good luck on that journey. Alex and I started a diet, well he calls it a life change last week. I weigh in on Tuesday to see if what we're doing is working. We didn't do too much, just ate less and made those "smart" choices. I completely understand how you're feeling though- I want to do more, travel more, and just be more comfortable. However, the weight is stopping us! BTW- I so hate those talks from the doctor!! Grrr! Anyways, good luck I know that you can do it! <3 Amber Lazenby
