257.2 - Starting Today

That's it ... I've had enough. I start today - no excuses. A life change - a turn away from numbers above 210, and away from pants sized above a 34 and shirts bigger than a Large. It's time that I take back my life, my body, my pride and happiness from the squallor I've left it in these past few years.

The goal: 47 pounds - short term, 57.2 eventually. Hopefully by the end of July. I know - it seems out of reach - but that's plenty of time ... it's barely the middle of May. I'm going to post losses weekly, and weigh weekly. A change from the prior daily loss posting and daily weighing. I need to be welcomed by larger numbers ... and I think I can do it. No, I know I can do it ... and I will! I will!

The hardest part: cutting out soda. Even though it's diet - it's not healthy, it's not going to help you lose weight - don't buy into what they say! It's awful for your body - it sends you searching for sugar to fill the empty calories. You can't mess with the way your body was meant to work like that. I'm done ... DONE with soda, diet or otherwise. DONE!

This week - well, for the next few weeks, til' I'm down to 227.2 pounds or lower, I'm going to really take it full force. Eating moderately on the diet I was on before - but also adding in some leafy greens and whole wheat rice and pastas - that will most likely come later. The rewards are great - self confidence, feeling like the old me ... being "hot" again. I want this. I WANT THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING! I'd quit my job to be able to work out with a trainer for 3-4 hours a day, that's how bad I want this!

I know I can do it. I know I can. I will ... just watch me.
