Count me in!
I am going to do something nobody on this thread has done yet - post my weight.
Earlier this year I recorded a peak weight of 382 pounds. As of this morning I am at 339 pounds. In August I will take a family trip to Orlando and I want to be under 300 at that time. In August 2009 I will take a
Disney cruise; for that trip I want to be 230 or less so I can fit in my tuxedo.
Do I find it embarassing to post those numbers? I felt humiliated in January when I recorded the first number, but being open and honest helps me to continue the weight loss. Continuing the honesty, a diet is nothing more than a quick fix we dream about with an end result of more weight gain. For me to meet my Aug 2009 goal I cannot diet - I need to change my lifestyle and change how I think about food. After a good start, my body and my subconscious mind are fighting me and I need to force those aspects of myself to comply or all my effort will have been a waste.
Let's do it!
