So Monday is the day that Weight Watchers has me weigh-in each week. Since it is Monday, I obliged, got naked, and stepped on the scale. I then stepped off again and got back on. It said the same thing. I had lost 18 pounds in one week. 18 Freakinig Pounds!
I am proud of myself, and I barely feel like that I am on a diet. I eat when I want, I just have to eat healthy if I want to eat a lot. Now, I have to admit this. I was sick for a few days with my infected tooth, so I sure that total was aided by having a fever and not being as hungry as usual. But even as I have felt better after getting some drugs, it has easy to stay on track. I don't expect to lose that much this week, but I know that I can continue to lose. That is what is great.
I'm pumped. Only 132 pounds to go until I reach the summit and conquer my personal Mount Everest. I can do it.

my story on my struggle to change my life
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'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.

Hey Man, that is great news....keep up the good work and you could reach your goal by the end of the year! Good Luck!
Hey Matt,
Congrats on the weight loss, I had no idea that you were doing anything like this... Just a quick personal note, i was 284 when i first started college and dropped down to 180. It was a lot of hard work, but you can do it. Just do it health, and if you ever need any help or motivation or anyone to talk to about this consider this me extending my hand in support.
Oh water helped me not eat so much, that is why i still carry a gallon around. It reminds me of what i did in the past and how i refuse to go back. Good luck man, but you don't need it.
Respectfully,
Anthony
