I would love to tell you

That this is going to be a blog about losing weight and once again regaining the figure I had in high school. This is NOT that type of blog. Do I hope that I can one day blog about how my hard work and determination have paid off and I'm "skinny" again? Of course...if you are reading this you probably hope the same thing for yourself. The thing is two things have to change before I can get anywhere close to being able to write that:

1. I have to actually put IN the hard work and have the determination.

2. I must lose my love of food.

Do you see my problem? I can sit here and bemoan my troubles and whine about how I'm fat and blah blah blah....all the excuses we make...you know them. We all have them. The truth is.... I am not sure I have the will power OR the determination.

So this is a start for me. A way to feel connected. I HATE the way I look. I didn't until about last week when I stepped on the scale and saw what the holidays and my addiction to food had done to me. Granted it was bad enough before that but it never really hits you until you get up there and SEE the dreaded numbers. I hope by the time the year finishes that I have some progress to report. As for now, however, I will say please do not be afraid to reply and comment. It always nice to know someone is walking the road with you.
