First Weigh In and Picture

This is easily the most horrifying and courageous thing I have ever done.  Please be mature and keep any crude comments to yourself.  I am putting myself out there to hopefully help and encourage others as well as myself.  I can't believe how much I am shaking!


I am always making excuses and am so impatient with losing weight. I want it to happen so fast and get discouraged.  I am not calling this a diet and I am going to be completely honest with everything I post. I am just trying to make smarter decisions and hopefully it will pay off and show people you don't have to be miserable to lose weight.


I never thought I could let it get this bad.  I kept putting it off and saying I wasn't too heavy yet and it would be easy to lose.  The pounds have been accumulating way more rapidly over the last year.  Time for action. 


I am going to weigh myself once a week - Wednesday after work before dinner.  That's right now!  

Weight at 6:00 pm June 15, 2011. 


I don't have an action plan:  That has never worked for me.  I over think it and sabotage myself.  I am going to start out slow with my changes.  A few things I am sure of - no eating when full, small portions, one 'sweet' a day (I love sweets), no eating within 3 hours of bedtime, and limiting my alcohol intake.
