All out on the line

I weigh 257.0 pounds.  I'm laying it all out on the line.  I'm fat, and it's no secret that I am fat.  Why is the number kept secret?  So many people are ashamed or afraid to tell anyone that number.  I am actually one of those people. But I'm not hiding my obesity from anyone.  Everyone can see it rolling over the top of my jeans already.  

Will it do anything for me to tell you that number?  I doubt it.  But I did read a blog about someone it did help.  She started a weight loss blog and let everyone know how she was doing and she lost steadily. 

I don't think it was the fact that she was telling the world her personal information.  I think it was probably the fact that she was finally journalling and felt like she was being held accountable.  Works for me.  It helped her out. 

So today I'll set my goal for the next month.  I'll lay it out there in cyberspace and let the world know that I am fat, and that I don't intend to be fat forever.  (I have already wasted most of my 30's like this.  Enough is enough).

For the next 5 weeks (the last week of January and all of February), I will blog at least once a week, but I will aim for twice a week.  I'll keep the world (those few of you that follow this blog) updated on my progress, in the hopes that it helps us both.  I intend to get back onto my Wii Fit, as I seemed to have taken a week off and will work out 4 days a week on it.  I will try harder to keep my tracker up to date and actually plan.  I'm shooting for a 10 pound weight loss in those 5 weeks.  I don't think that is unreasonable, if I'm doing all the right things. 

See you back here again soon.
