Plus Size

I have struggled with my weight for almost 20 years; but, currently, I am the biggest I have EVER been.  I tend to talk more about wanting to lose weight than I do actually working towards weight loss.  So, today, I joined Weight Watchers (granted, I have lost count of how many times I have joined Weight Watchers but I know it works) and plan on attending my first meeting this Saturday morning. 

I intend on taking this weight loss slowly; I want to change my life style not just diet because I know, from personal experience, that diets are a short term fix that only results in weight gain. 

I also plan on tracking my progress here in order to hold myself accountable.  I don't care if people read this or critize me, my intentions, or my weight--I am not doing this for anyone but myself.

So here goes:

Day 1

Weight:  240lbs
Food:  white toast with butter (2 pieces); chicken, mashed potatoes, and rice; granola bar
Drink:  apple juice; water

To be honest, I fear losing weight but I am not sure why.  Maybe it is because I worry about failing (it has happened every other time); maybe it is because I don't want to give up the comfort of food; maybe it is because I would rather be lazy than exercise.  Regardless, it is time for me to get healthy.

I will walk down that aisle wearing a size 10 wedding dress!!
I will be a sample size.
