The following was originally under the "About Me" section. I wrote too much so decided to make this my first entry:
I'm not sure when it happened, but I'm now in someone else's body. I don't even look in the mirror anymore except to brush my teeth because I don't recognize the image. I had been athletic and at a healthy size. Now I've clinically tipped over the borderline of obesity.
I know how to lose the weight. But, I don't know how to be committed and to stick with it and not become discouraged and give in to massive amounts of sugar.
The blogging world is new to me. I have been following Cranky Fitness where a commentator mentioned having a support system to help during the weight loss journey. It dawned on me that I haven't had a consistent support system. Sure, I could call my wonderful parents, but I just don't always want to "dump" on them. Calling a friend or "sponsor" is awkward, too, because we have such busy lives.
So, I thought about giving blogging a try. I may be the only one here, but at least I can pretend I'm "talking" to someone during my moments of weaknesses and frustrations...and maybe even some triumphs!
And should anyone stumble across this blog, especially if that person is in, or has been in, a similar situation as me, we could support each other.
I'm not sure what to do next.
I think that blogging really does help. I may not have made much progress since I started blogging, but it's kept my motivation level a bit higher than it would be without the blog. Even if I don't have any followers really :)
