I posted a thread introducing myself on the introductions board, but wanted to say hey to everyone here, as this is probably where i will do most of my reading and posting
I am going to do the calorie counting thing, along with drinking loads of water and trying to exercise some.. it's so hard at this weight to just walk around the house much less exercise, but im gonna take baby steps.
I want to lose weight for a multitude of reasons.. My main one, is my health.. im not old by any means, but 43 isnt exactly a spring chicken any longer as much as i wish it were so lol... I also want to lose weight because i cant stand to look in the mirror any longer.. not only cause of how fat i am, but how old being so fat makes me look.. i have gone thru a lot of the before and after pics in this site, and the one thing i noticed with almost everyone, is they look loads younger...I am also going to lose weight for my husband.. two reasons there.. one, to be around longer to build loads more memories with him.. he is my life and my heart... secondly, he is hot hot hot, and i wanna be sexy for him...
I dont know why i let my weight get this bad before doing something about it.. i sure wish i had done something when i was 180 or so instead of now lol.. this is gonna take soooo long.. logically i know i didnt put the weight on fast, so it isnt gonna come off fast, but what i wouldnt give if i could just wake up tomoz thin lol... im sure a lot of us feel that way.. But, they say 'that worth having is worth working for', or something to that effect, and i agree.. i will appreciate being thinner a lot more if i have to work hard at it..
You've probably noticed already i can get a lil long winded at times, so i'll go ahead and close for now.. i'm looking forward to getting to know loads of you and am here to offer whatever encouragement/advice i can.. even if im just an ear...
