I have a dream

Tuesday, April 17th 2012

Every day is a new day, another chance to begin again. I have to remind myself of this whenever I slip up. I slipped Friday and Saturday and got back into the groove so to speak on Sunday. This is a long, often painful journey for me. I might be trying to change too much at once, but I feel like I have to. Too many of these things go hand-in-hand. I let myself go practically beyond hope. Sure, I'm "only" 90 pounds overweight, compared to some folks who are much more obese, but I teeter...

I'm new to this blogging stuff and I never kept a diary, but I think it might be good to put down my thoughts as I progress on this long journey. I am almost 57 and about 90 pounds overweight. I have practically no muscle mass and could have easily won the Couch Potato of the Year Award a couple of weeks ago. I know a lot about nutrition and dieting just like many other obese people. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. For quite a few years I settled for being happy at roughly 150 p...
