Step One

Day 1 - I admit I am powerless over my addiction to food; my life is unmanageable. 

Here I am again, starting a new weight loss journey.  I have been here many times before.  I lose weight, I am happy about it.  I keep my new weight for a while; then I start eating more, gaining again, and eventually once again I am fat guy.  It totally sucks.  I hate this roller coaster.

But today is a new start.  This time I am totally relying on God to do for me what I can not do for myself.  Here I sit at 209 pounds.  For my 5'8" body that is not good.  Once I was 5'10' but that was in my younger days.  Apparently I am settling already.  Wonderful! 

Feel free to take this journey with me if you like.  Any encouragement would be welcome - prayers too.  I will take all the help I can get.  I am now ready to go to any lengths to lose the fat.  My goal is 175.  I am in no hurry to get there, as long as I am making progress.  Any week that I do not gain will be a good week.  Any week that I lose, even if it is just one pound, will be considered a great week.

So here goes.  Wish me luck.  I will try to journal something here each day, just to keep me honest.  That is all for now.

  2. Thanks Yvette. I really do need and appreciate the encouragement. I wish you all the best with your journey also. I need to start walking again, but I just hating walking alone. I get bored. Maybe I will find a walking buddy and that would help. Have a great day.
