Day One

Okay so I just created my very own BLOG. Now where to start? After all the weight didn't creep on overnight so how can I sum up a lifetime so you can meet me? Well I guess I take it ... one day at a time.

To be honest, this is a little nerve wracking. I am putting out in cyberspace for everyone to see, a number that I don't even tell my own husband and friends...my weight. Deep breath...close eyes...type quickly 355 - whew. Okay. Breathe in again. There it is folks. I'm 5'3 and 355 lbs. Not exactly a model type. Most people would be shocked to know I weigh that much (hey I'm shocked too). This is my all time heaviest. No, let me restate that. This will BE my all time heaviest. It can only go down from here.

So I have taken the plunge - no more slowly dipping in toes to check for warmth - and have started a diet/lifestyle/program change (or whatever word works for you - use that). I hope some of you will join me along the way. After all I like the idea that someone else may see this blog and feel like it's possible. I can't do the work for you. I can't cook your meals. Hell, even my words sometimes won't be enough. We won't even go through the same emotions at the same time. But hopefully you can understand or have been there or at least sympathize with me and others like me.

PS - The photo (obviously not me) is more of an inspiration / destination photo. Once I learn how to download photos from my camera to my computer I will promise to add in personal pics.
