Well, I am at work today reading about some people who started a blog to help with thier weight loss goals. I have decided to do the same but also to use this as an outlet for some of the frustrations that come with the process. I hope to gain a following and to let people into the life of someone battling with weight loss and hopefully overcoming it.
This is where I am. I weighed in this morning at 372 pounds. This must seem like a lot to someone who doesn't know me but this is actually a very good number. In August I was at my heaviest when I weighed in at 420 pounds. So, I am getting very close to the 50 pound mark. Another big milestone that I have acheived recently is this. I went shopping for some new jeans last week because the ones that I was wearing were getting pretty torn up. Not to mention they were falling off of my ass on a daily basis, even with a belt. I was able to put on and buy a pair of 46 jeans. That is HUGE for me. I was a 50 waist in August and probably could have gone up one more size.
I have a wife and a daughter who support me everyday and they are helping me on my journey the best that they can, but one thing that I have learned is that I have to do this on my own. For as long as I have been trying to loose weight I have always said that all that I need is the motivation to keep at it. Well, they have given me that and I am not going back.
My next post will be about the adventure that I went through to find a new pair of running shoes and how that has acually made me even more determined to keep at this.
