So I'm Back....

So a couple months ago I wanted to lose weight and wrote a couple posts about what I was doing. Then... I dislocated my knee cap (ouch!) and I gave up. I know what I should have done is focus on my diet and keep pushing forward, but I didn't.

I gave in, I have a problem with emotional eating, overeating, compulsive eating, binge eating, basically every kind of "bad" eating, I do it. So I gained and gained and gained. So now restarting this journey I am even bigger then before. I still don't have confidence to do this, so I am trying to start small and to just keep trucking.

Something really cool though is Colorado has the super cool program right now called "Weigh to Win." They are going to pay me money to lose weight! Now I know that I should be losing weight for myself, to be healthy, and to live a longer life, BUT who wouldn't want a little incentive like money? So you go to one of the free weigh in sites (they are everywhere) and weigh in every quarter. This first quarter ends April 17th and the first step of the money is if you lose 5% of your body weight and you get $15. Now its not a lot of money but it is something. So I am making that my first small goal. I would prefer to do it before my birthday on March 26th (so that is my real goal).

Lose 5% of my body weight by my birthday. There now I said it, I am putting it out into the world and am not going to let myself down.

Oh, did I mention that they take a picture of you when you weigh in? Yeah not so pretty, here it goes... I am never going to have to look like that again!
