Today is the day! I have "started" my weight loss journey several times, only to have the excuse of life getting in the way: Starting a midnight shift, my son's sports practice times that are not consistently on the same day, feeling ill, etc, etc....but at my son's 9th b-day party, I saw pics of myself, and I wasn't happy. I saw my double chin, I saw my belly that stuck out and looked like I was pregnant. We went to the circus and had to climb stairs in the parking garage when we left, I was out of breath after 3 flights of stairs, panting the rest of the way up. I have back pains which the last time I lost some weight (24 pounds) I had no back pains, and now I'm back to waking up every morning with back pains, and finally, I wanted to lose weight before a big family vacation, after months of starting and then stopping about 5 times in the last year, I ended up gaining 5 pounds more than when I started! All these factors made me decide THAT'S IT! I NEED TO MAKE A REAL CHANGE! I made a list of all the things I worry about in my current weight status, and all the things I would benefit from when I lose my weight. I bought a small spiral notebook which I plan to write my WW points (I haven't gone to a meeting yet as the only one in my small town is on Mondays and its Wednesday now, so I'm starting simply based on what I found online until I get to the first meeting on Monday). I wrote down my measurements of my bust, waist, hips, thighs, upper arms, wrote down my clothes size, my weight, and took pics sides and front to show my progress. I think I'll add a "back" view as well.

It wasn't pretty, it was downright disgusting. I've never truly been skinny, but I was FIT before. I used to be on dance team in high school and college, and I was one of the chunkier ones weighing in at 140 pounds when I was in college, but I was also fit enough to be one of the captains of the team. I was happy there, I was a size 9/10 and felt great, felt confident, felt fit, didn't get out of breath playing with my dog.

I'm in a relationship with a guy who tells me he loves me for who I am inside, and that he finds me attractive, he's always telling me I'm so pretty, but it can't be a good thing when I have a "no zone" for my boyfriend, aka a zone where I don't want him placing his hand, which is on my belly at any time. So, when we cuddle on the couch, he has long arms, if his hand happens to lay on my belly after he wraps his arm around me, I tell him "ugh, you're touching the NO ZONE" and he puts up with it, he tells me "I love the no zone, and all your zones" but he will move his hand if it makes me uncomfortable. He's been pretty supportive and makes sure I know that he doesn't want me to lose weight for him, if I want to do it for ME then he is behind it 100% and will support me in whatever I decide to do. Today, I decided it.

I started writing in the food journal today. :)

I'm excited, I hope I can do it this time...no, wait....I CAN DO IT!
