Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live

My weight has always been a bit of a sore subject for me and it's never something I particularly care to discuss, but it's really time for some serious changes. I've been trying to lose weight for a long time now, but I'm not making any real progress. In fact, sometimes I've experienced the opposite of progress. I have not eaten any fast food in nearly a month, I've been eating lots of salads and veggies, yet I stepped on the scale the night before last only to find that I've not lost a single pound. Instead, I've actually gained 10. This is incredibly frustrating to me and I don't understand how in the world I could possibly gain weight when I'm actually trying to watch what I eat. I've finally admitted to myself that I'm going to HAVE to get a gym membership, because I'm not going to work out regularly like I should without one. I can say all day long that I'm going to excercise at home, and sometimes I do, but it's simply to easy to to sit my fat ass down on the couch instead. So, with that said, I've got a free 10 day membership to the Rush fitness Center, and after that I'm going to look into membership options that they have available.

So, all that said, I'm ready to turn over a new leaf. I'm the heaviest I have ever been in my whole life and that's something that I simply cannot live with. I'd like to lose about 75 pounds and be back down to a size 10. That's a long way to go, but I've gotta start somewhere. So, on top of all the other random things I blog about, i'm going to attempt to blog about my progress as I attempt to lose this weight. Words of encouragement are always welcome!

I know exactly how you feel. I found talking about my own weight difficult but once you do it you do feel liberated and addressing it does give you more momentum to do something about it. I don't go to the gym every week and I am losing weight. so don't feel like that is your only option :D gyms make me feel even more self concious. It doesn't help to weigh yourself every day though. I do it once a week. That way I don't get disheartened when it fluctuates so much.

goodluck with it :D
