Day 4 - Losing weight fast!

Howdy,

I forgot to post yesterday, sorry about that. I have been playing this new game "DC Universe Online" and sometimes I get into it and forget to do things. Anyway I have lost 15lbs in 3 days. I am sure it is water weight and such, but it is nice anyway. When I posted on Tuesday I was at 395 and today I am at 380. Nice little boost to keep me motivated. Today I turned down pizza at work so my resolve is back, but damn I am hungry.

It is amazing how much we associate food with happiness. If I am off for the weekend and I can't sit around and snack it makes me think it is a wasted day. The key is to find other things to occupy my mind. I have found as I get further into this it becomes easier to focus on things that don't involve eating. Anyway I just wanted to drop a post and let y'all know I am still here.

Day 2 - Back on track.

Starting is the hardest part. I have eaten 1200 calories today and I am starving to death. That leaves me about 400 for dinner. I think I will burn them on some cheese and crackers. That makes me feel full. Losing weight is easy if you can deal with the hunger.

Anyway I am not going to make any big speeches or promises. I am on day two and it is so far so good. I hope to be writing you of my success tomorrow.

Day 1 - Clean Slate

Here we go. I failed. Somewhere in November I lost sight of my goals and began taking comfort in food again. Once you start that downward spiral it takes ahold of you and it is hard to break free. I tried to start right back in several times and I found it too easy to say hey, I want this piece of pie I will just start back tomorrow. Well that is not going to work anymore. I have a lot to lose and a lot to prove and I am running out of time. I want my 40's to be the beginning of something. I want my 40's to be a second shot at my 20's I want to do things physically I never did because I couldn't do them physically. 3 days ago I turned 39. This gives me less than a year to reach my goal weight of 220. as of this morning I weight 389. Yep I gained some back. I now have an impossible amount of weight to lose in a short period of time. I am not going to think about wheter or not I can do this. I am just going to do this. Today is day one. I am resetting all of my counters and I am shooting for that first 60 lbs.

Pray for me and keep me honest.
