Not to toot my own horn or anything...

...but "TOOT, TOOT"!!!

I have lost 3.4 lbs in 2 days. Only 12.1 lbs. to go until I reach my first goal!

Starting Weight: 311 lbs.
Today's Weight: 307.6 lbs.
First Goal Weight: 295.5 lbs.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE????

Because I am...

For far too long I have been in this battle with my weight... but even more than that, myself.

I am not an idiot, I know that I am overweight, I have known that... well, forever. I think that my biggest problem is that I am addicted to food. If I am feeling good, I eat. If I am feeling blue, I eat. If I am bored, I eat. See a pattern here?

It HAS to stop right here. I can not do this anymore. My body is slowly starting to fail me... and I am realizing that I am getting old.

The other night I was eating a bowl of Peppermint Ice Cream and thought to myself, "what in the hell are you doing? Why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you doing this to your children?"

So it stops right here. I just signed up for Weight Watchers. I am not sure how it is going to happen and I can not promise immediate results but I can promise that I am going to give this my all. I have no other choice at this point.

I am going to be honest, one of my biggest fears in life (other than something bad happening to my children) is that they would be subject to ridicule because of having an overweight mommy. I would hate to have my children feel embarrassed or be put in the position of defending my poor decisions. I also want to be able to enjoy playing outside with them. Which right now, I can't and choose not to do. That is not fair to them!

Anyway, today is the first day of this grand adventure for me. It will not be all sunshine and roses but it WILL be worth it. I am doing this for my family. I am doing this for my health. Most importantly, I am doing this for me... and the "me" that I know I can achieve!
