A New Ticker

It's called accountability (or public humiliation depending on who you talk to). In any case it's probably the only thing that's going to help remind my fat butt to stick with the program. There's a new ticker at the bottom of the page. Yup, just like a few million other Americans, I am F.A.T!! It is time to grow up, face facts and get myself healthy again - for myself, my husband and my kids. All the excuses have kind of fallen flat - I can't blame fertility treatments (2006) anymore or my "recent" (2008) hysterectomy. I've not carried and given birth to any children so there goes that excuse. I just plain love to eat and just plain have to get over myself. I've been at it for about a month (on again, off again - as is typical for beginning anything) and have managed to already shed a few. It's amazing how good you feel when you start getting rid of the sugar and processed crap we stuff ourselves with. I've got a looooong way to go so help push me blog buddies!

Ugh. I can relate. "Baby weight" (Seven years ago?) "Brain tumor steroid weight" (two years ago?) "Blizzard wegiht" (this winter). All = not good bathing suit situation. I feel you on this one. Good for you for taking charge and taking care of yourself! I am cheering you on!

Oh my dear. I'm there too. I'm trying to lose through exercise. I've seen what happened to my MIL and now seeing my mom with her knee replacement--I'm not going to go the route they went! I'm down about 7 lbs and at 1 clothes size. We can do it!!!
