GOLDEN_LOVER's CalorieKing blog
Tuesday, Jul 3 2012 - So; I need to get this started
View GOLDEN_LOVER's food & exercise for this day
For the past few years, I've started and not finished diets. I always end up disapointed with myself and feel even worse about the overweight, unhealthy person I've become. So why not today - get started on changing my diet destiny. I'm hoping blogging might be away to jump start me to success. Get what's in my head out and visible. Get the bad thoughts that cause me to fail captured so history doesn't repeat itself. So with that...
I'm starting today at 205. How embarassing to put that in print. But it's out there and my reality.
My committment will be to track my weight publicly and share thoughts and tips as I transform back to the active individual I want to be. I kind of feel like the scarlet letter by this approach, but it feels good to be out of the closet.
So I will track today and stay within the recommended calorie guidelines.

Hey, just wanted to say that "been there". I've started more diets than I'd like to admit. I think I'm a charter member of weight watchers - probably started and stopped 10 times.
:bang:
:help:
The thing that made me take it seriously was my doctor telling me I am pre-diabetic. Oh no. There is no way I'm going to be sticking myself with needles, shooting insulin into me, etc. That scared me enough to say This Is It.
So far I'm down 16 pounds with 30 more to go. I'll tell you what I do to stay on track. Two things - one, I have a picture of myself at my heaviest in my wallet and I take it out periodically to look at it. The other is this pre-diabetic scare.
I'm not going to give you the lecture "You have to love yourself, blah blah blah..." We all know that. Yes it feels good to admit where you are in your weight journey and not hide behind it. I really think the most important thing is to be honest with yourself - all the time.
I'd be honored to buddy with you as we go through this, if you would like.
