Okay, here’s the tough part, putting my number out there. I’ve never told the truth to a soul about my weight except doctors when they have to weigh me due to my yearly checkup. I have my own sort of denial, “if I don’t say it out loud it doesn’t exist.” Well that’s changing, because my weight does exist and I can’t keep acting like it’s not there. Because when its not there, I don’t work to make my life better.
So here it goes: Sunday January 22, 2012 my current weight for all to read is 243 pounds.
There, I said it. It’s out there in the world and seeing it now posted, published and irrevocably written now makes me accountable. Now is the time to change.
I took my first steps toward a healthier life today. Yay! Not only have I admitted to myself and everyone else my secret number, but today instead of driving to my boyfriend’s house, I walked. Today I walked 2 miles, which may not seem like a lot to some. But for someone who’s never been a very active person, it was a great feat. And I’ve never felt better. I can’t wait to get home from work tomorrow and throw on my running shoes and go out for another walk.
This is it; I’m done being 243 pounds. I’m done being unhealthy. And I’m done being unhappy. Today I took a great leap toward my ultimate goal.
Woo hoo!
