Here I go!

So, it's day one! Here I am, ready to start my new life.  Somehow, I have managed to balloon to about 240 pounds. How did it happen? Well, I know how, but I guess I should be asking why did I let it?
I could give the normal excuses, life, kids, hubby, and so on, but I am not going to. The honest truth is I just got lazy, let myself go and stopped caring about myself.
Like I said before though, here is the first day of my new life. I love my hubby and kids dearly and now it is time to put some of that love towards myself!

Honestly, I get overwhelmed when I think about losing 120 pounds. That is a whole person. WOW!  I am going to take it a pound at a time. Sounds like a good way to face this challenge.

I am excited about finding this site and hope to meet some great folks who know how I am feeling and can give support.

One Day at a Time!

Welcome to EP...just ran across your blog and wanted to send you some skinny vibes.  Looks like you might want to check your weight chart though...your current weight looks wrong!

Anyway, you have to take it one day at time...just think about 5 or 10 lbs as your goal.  It works better that way.

Best of luck with your journey!

the best of luck

Hi

I am around the same weight as you and I totally focus on one week at a time b/c I get overwhelmed with thinking about all the pounds I have to lose. Good luck and you can totally do it.

WELCOME!

Glad you found EP!

GOOD LUCK with losing - I know you can do it!
It's easy to get overwhelmed by the big picture - so take it in 5 pound increments!!!
