…of being fat. 

I have been hiding from the scale for about two months.  Finally today I worked up enough nerve to stand on it.  Not good.  I knew I had gained weight because I could feel it in my clothes.  But actually seeing the number left me feeling down right depressed.

I weigh 5 pounds more than I did one year ago on this very day.  When I told Rich that news he wondered how I knew that for a fact.  Ummm, well because I keep track of that stuff.  Rich seemed a bit surprised that I would actually be writing down my weight and measurements and keeping them.  Am I weird?  Does anyone else write down their weight and measurements?

Anyhoo, I decided that it is time to do something about my weight.  Time to start working towards being healthy.  So, I wrote down my weight and measurement for today.  I had Rich take pictures (front, side and back) so I can see my progress. 

Now for my plan- I am going to start walking on my treadmill everyday.  Even if I only have time to do it for a few minutes, I am going to get on that stupid thing every single day.  I am going to drink a lot more water.  I am going to aim for 6 glasses a day because I don’t think I can handle the recommended 8 glasses right off.  I am going to stop snacking after 8pm.  I am going to eat smaller portions.  I am not going to cut out certain foods and I am not going to write down everything I eat.  I have tried doing those things before and they don’t work for me.  And I am going to blog everyday about how my journey to skinniness is going.

28 pounds to go
