I have started this journey as most have, by starting off with a New Years Resolution. The person I used to be would do this every year and fall off the wagon and stay off by January 15th. This year is a little different. I have something to prove. I want to lose 149 pounds by the time I am 50. I have 8 years to go. I am not going to spread it out over 8 years but I feel now that if I am not honest with myself and change my thoughts of food, I will be dead by the time the 8 years is here and over. 330 pounds! I have never been this large. Even when I was pregnant I was 150 pounds less than I am now. My thinking, eating, snacking and life has to change. My daughter is 21. She will have kids some day. I want to be a fun grandma like mine was and be able to do things with them. My life has changed and it starts today!
