“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

Weight Loss Challenge

* I have been challenged to lose 80 lbs over the next few months - for health reasons, mainly, but also for the improvement of my spirit. So far, I've only lost 2.4 pounds and feel tremendously better.

* I suspect that it will be easier to find and keep love once I lose the weight -- not just because I will look better, but I will also feel better.  I used to get really upset when I felt that people were judging me based on the fact that I was overweight, but now I get it.  I look at myself and I just see unhealthiness.  I don't want that anymore.  I wouldn't blame a guy for not wanting to date an unhealthy woman or others for feeling uncomfortable around an unhealthy woman.

* I think the biggest reason I am overweight is that I eat when I worry and I worry all the time, about everything.  I am generally overwhelmed with worry most of the time.  I have got to learn to just let it go.

* The plan:  cut out candy, count calories, exercise at least three to four times a week (more if needed).  I am using myfitnesspal.com.  I encourage you to join and find me (eapbear96).  The more friends I have helping me, the easier it will be.  There is a girl out in West Texas  I rarely talk to, but the fact that she is on there everyday and I see her posts inspires me and encourages me to do the same. The biggest deal is that I need to stick with it...even when I really don't want to...

* This is a tough thing to do, but here is a before picture (I look pregnant, but I'm not):


**** I have lost 2.4 pounds since this picture was taken on November 20, 2011.****

* I believe I can totally do this.  I have accomplished so much in life thus far, just by sticking with it, no matter what.  There is no reason this can't be the same.

Have a great day and God Bless!
