Let me start out by saying that tomorrow I will, for the thousandth time, start on the journey to change my life and lose the pounds that have been weighing me down for all of my life. Why tomorrow, you ask? Because today I need to eat up all the temptations in the house so I won't be tempted to eat them tomorrow. Oh yeah, and who can forget that famous last meal we all allow ourselves before starting a diet.
A little bit of history about myself.... When I say I have been overweight all of my life, I seriously mean it. I weighted 11lbs 8 oz. when I was born. I have lost a considerable amount of weight twice in my life. Once when I was a teenager and once in my twenties. The first time I lost weight I got down to about 170 pounds. It was the lowest weight I can remember being and I was so happy. Too bad the way I went losing the weight sucked. During that time in my life, I found that the quickest way to lose weight was by not eating. Oh yeah, and by throwing up when I did eat. Big mistake! Not only was I damaging my body, but the weight came back and then some. Plus, I was miserable the whole time. The second time I dropped the weight it was because of some pills my doctor prescribed. Those wonderful pills! I dropped so much weight and felt so good about myself. The thing is, your body gets used to pills and you begin to build a tolerance for them. After a few months, the pills stopped working and, guess what, I gained all the weight back. This time I have decided I am going to do this the right way. I know I need to make a lifestyle change. I have been on a diet on and off since January, and I have found that this is the most difficult thing I have ever done so far in my life. I weigh 330 right now. I have lost 20 pounds so far this year. Well, I have really lost 35 but, once you start eating junk again, the weight comes back oh so easily. So, once again tomorrow, I will begin.
