For those of you reading this, today is the first day of the rest of my life.
I truly and sincerely hope that is true.
I am extremely overweight. It's time to get rid of that weight. It's unhealthy, it's expensive, and it is unsightly to me and to you. I have set a lofty lofty goal for myself. I want to lose 150 pounds over the next two years. Yeah, that's right. One hundred and fifty pounds. It is possible, and even if I lose that much, there will still be a substantial part of me.
For those of you who get uncomfortable about talking about weight issues, you maybe shouldn't stay here too long. I'm probably going to be really hard on myself at times and say things about myself that could make you feel uncomfortable. Please don't respond and tell me the things I'm saying aren't true. I'm going to use this space to motivate myself and therapize myself. If you have motivating words to say, or want to give funny reactions, or if you want to cuss me out, go ahead. Just don't tell me the things I'm saying are mean to myself. I know they are.
I've always been a big person, but I've been fat since I was a 6th grader. I whopped on a bunch of pounds then because I used food to make myself feel better after we moved to Central City--a move I did not want to make. I grew into my body as time moved on and was still fat, but fairly decent looking until 11th grade. Then I had a terrible year with a football coach and again used food as a way to cope. I whopped on substantial amounts of weight again. I stayed about that weight through school since I was active in sports, but once that was over, it creeped up higher and higher. I'm now at my high (low, really) point, and it is time to make a change.
It is time to start over.
It was really easy putting the weight on. It's going to be a monumental challenge taking it off. This will be the Mount Everest of my life. It's time to prepare and focus on this goal.
I will succeed.

You can do it. If you ever need inspiration feel free to check out my blog, entitled.. Chronicles of the Wallertit. I understand how hard and painful it can be to just get started on the weightloss journey. I've been there so if you ever need anyone to talk to just hit me up. Congrats and the best of luck. I'm certain I'll see you in the gym!
