F is for FAT!

Well here we go.  I will truly be in shock if I can manage to keep up with this darn thing!  The way my life is currently mapped out, I am lucky to have time to urinate on a daily basis!

So I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "Oh great...another fat person bitching and moaning about their fat self."  Well, don't read it.  I'm not gluing your eyeballs to your computer screen so don't blame me if you are not amused.  But that is not my intended goal.  This is for me....so that I can see the steps I will taken (and have taken) to make my life better and longer for the sake of my child.  Now if along the way, you would like to enjoy the ride, then by all means be my guest!  We might actually have a few laughs along the way! 

So let's cut to the chase.  I have been struggling with my weight nearly all my life.  Once I had my daughter it most certainly did NOT get any better.  I ballooned to the size of the Good Year blimp while pregnant, and I have been carrying most of that weight around with me even though she is walking and talking on her own now.  Guess she won't be needing the layer of insulation any more than I do.  Right now, I am struggling at a burly and husky 230 lbs.  Geez, saying it out loud SUCKS!  But then maybe that will help my motivation because as of right now, I am searching high and low for a little help in that category. 

I never remember being "skinny"....but then again, my goal is not to become "skinny".  My goal is to become healthier...and hopefully along the way a few of my spare tires will roll off toward the junk yard.  But I guess we'll just have to wait and see how that goes.  I am currently shooting to get below 200 lbs.  This is the same goal I've had for about two years....and why haven't I met it?  Laziness.  Pure and stubborn laziness.  Even now, I should probably be on the elliptical instead of glued to my seat typing things the world really doesn't need to know.  But alas, I feel I need to fill you in on my position. 

So I will leave you with my first fat quote:

“When we lose twenty pounds…we may be losing the best twenty pounds we have! We may be losing the pounds that contain our genius, our humanity, our love and honesty.”
- Woody Allen

Here's to not losing any of the good stuff but a lot of the bad!
