New day.

Okay this morning started out kind of rough. I have been awake since 4:00 and I am exhausted. I broke down and went through our local coffee shop this morning and bought a fully loaded blended coffee and then got to work and was offered a doughnut...I didn't resist. So now I am feeling guilty, but that isn't stopping me from eating and drinking these things that I know are bad for me.

The beginning of my blogging weight loss adventure.

I come from a family of fat people and unfortunately I inherited the gene. Oh don't get me wrong we are not all fat, just most of us. Life just doesn't seem fair when you get hit with the short, fat end of the stick, I always wondered why I couldn't have been smacked with the long, lean and leggy end of the stick. Oh well.

I have been a yoyo dieter all my life. My most recent success was with Weight Watchers. A few years ago I lost 75 lbs and was within 20 lbs of my goal weight and I figured I could do it on my own. Well I bet you can't guess what happened....I gained it back of course, along with those infamous 10 extra pounds that always seems come with a gain after you lose.

I am now 44 years old and weigh more than I ever have in my life. My goal is to go from morbidly obese to pleasingly plump. Then we I will revisit my goal and possibly try the skinny goal. I really just want to be considered "normal" on the BMI chart.

Okay here is my plan...over the last week and a half I have been consciously thinking about my food choices and eating in moderation. During the first week I lost 5 lbs. I will continue this over the week or two and see how it goes. Wish me luck!
