Made it past my Birthday

Well I'm officially 47 years old and still Obese.  I hate that work Obese!  It sounds like a mammoth animal that could crush you in one feld swoop.  I wanted to start my program today but as usual many excuses came up.  I blamed the weather today (it is really windy and cold) yet as I looked out the window to see what our two dogs were barking at I saw the die hard walkers out getting their excercise as I sat in the warmth of my home in the lazy lounge chair saying in my head that tomorrow will be the day I get started.  I hope that I can find the inner strenth to make it happen!!  If you have some good advice on how to get the mindset started I'm all ears!!

Time to face reality

Tomorrow is my 47th Birthday and I really want to be around for another 47 years if I can....BUT I have been told by my doctor that not only do I need to loose weight but I am MORBIDLY OBESE.  What!...I know I have weight to loose but Morbid?  Ok, so let's say I am morbidly obese how am I going to get this weight off?????  I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children and the last thing I want for them is to put their mother and wife in a early grave soooooooooo, tomorrow is my last hoorah and then I have to face the music.  I can't believe I'm going to start a diary of how much food I put in my mouth but I'm ready to take this journey and would love to have others take the journey with me. 

I have battled weight all my life, I think I came into this world with extra fat on my butt and thighs and as time has passed that fat has progressed more than I care to admit.  I am good with excuses and I'm even better with reasons why I can't excercise so I'm hoping that since I have to answer to all who read this blog I will stop with the excuses and the I can'ts and start doing what is best for ME!  I want to be around for many more years to come so let's get this party started!!
