The Beginning

This blog is just for me to document my trying to lose weight, hoping that as I write out my progress, discouragements, stats, etc. it will help me in my weight loss FOR GOOD this time.
The focus of this picture is obviously my adorable son. But I hate what I see of myself here. My stomach is huge and I hate it. I have always struggled with my weight, and this picture shows me at one of my worsts. This was taken Christmas Eve 2010. This is what made me want to start NOW.
I've gone off and on so much since I've been married trying to lose weight, but I always fall off the wagon and end up right where I started from or worse. I feel like I've gotten to a point where it's too much to lose and I'm so discouraged. But I can't let myself get like that. I need to set small goals that will ultimately help me reach my final goal! I promise to do my best to think positive. If I get discouraged, I will quickly find a positive about the situation to help keep me going. I did good exercising last night and with my eating. I worked out for 2 hours! While today I have only put in 20 minutes, at least I put in something, and will put in more time once my husband gets home. I WILL do this. I WILL be healthy. I WILL lose this weight and keep it off! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
