I have decided that getting healthy will be more successful if I blog about it. If anyone does show up and comment, I want to say up front… Thank You for caring enough to read a bit about this upcoming journey.
I am overweight. I have finally come to grips with the fact that I can no longer "Out run my fork" to loose weight. The fact is, I am 55 and need to loose 55 pounds of fat. I hope that blogging about the experience, putting my feelings and struggles into words, will force me to confront the demons that have prevented me from having a healthy lifestyle. If I see the emotions and hurdles in words, I think I can confront them more effectively.
I bit about myself:
I am a 55 year old man who has lost his weight in his weight. I have had weight issues since I was a toddler. Although I could and can blame the problem at my mother's feet ;-), it is my problem now. My past diet failures have been due to a 2 to 3 week wall I hit. There seems to be a barrier at this point that allows me to fall off the wagon. I permit myself to cheat, and then I give up. I recognize this now, and will be on the lookout for it.
I hope this journey and my rants can help others, or that others experiences and suggestions will help me. Even if no one reads this, putting it "down on paper" will hopefully keep me going.
At the bottom of my daily entries, I will put down my weight and hopefully, that will be down numbers. Let's enjoy the ride to a new me.
283 lbs
