Hi. I really hate doing these introductions, but nonetheless, you have to start somewhere, so this seems like a good enough place to do that.
I'm joining you all, sort of
in media res, as I've been plugging away at this diet lark for about fourteen months, and as of this morning, I'm just shy of 150 pounds lost. Back when I first sucked it up and stepped on the scale, and saw the horrifying number, I set my FitDay goal for 195, because it seemed vaguely possible. Very vaguely.
And as I've gone along, I've been increasingly convinced that's not going to be where I settle, which for my height is around ten pounds overweight, but I'm leaving it as my goal for now, because I just want to accomplish what I set out to do, and then I'll decide what the next goal will be.
I'm 42, married with two cats, and have been obese or morbidly obese most of my life, and finally had enough of it. I am so done with being fat, and now I'm just working towards making my body match up with my mind. I'm also pretty badly in need of contact with people who are going through the same process that I am, and I look forward to getting to know you all & participating in your community.
