This isn't completely about weight loss, but the truth is that in order for me to feel healthy I need to lose some weight.
As an added benefit, I:
-no longer get heartburn. I used to get it quite regularly. Now it is exceedingly. Like twice since December.
-actually want to walk, instead of dreading it.
-just feel better in general. More energy, not as fatigued.
I'm not sure exactly how much I'm willing to share with you about my weight. Wish I was more open about it, but the truth of the matter is that I am embarrassed. But if you have met me in person, I'm sure you can tell. I'm a big girl. And could stand to lose some weight.
I do not like to weigh myself. It just make me hate myself. I remember weighing myself everyday in high school and allowing that number to affect my sense of self-worth. I never ever want to return to that. But I do want to know that I am making an effort that isn't in vain.
I don't know exactly what I weighed when I changed my eating habits. I know about where I was, give or take 5 pounds. So that is just going to have to be good enough.
I am going to update this page twice a month. Just in case someone is interested enough to keep track.
And since I haven't been keeping good records, December and January are a rough estimate. I will be weighing myself twice a month. The 15th and the last day.
December 15: -5
December 31: -3

January 31: -6
