Trust me, Adam, there are enough pics of me online to remind of what what I looked like....

That I let this happen to me is an 'oh well' kind of thing....not something one can go back in time and undo...but one day at a time will undo the terrible damage I did to myself over a period of ten years....

And, you said something that is so true. If you don't do it for you.....and you don't have a plan....failure looms ahead.

The food journal almost did me in...I have a high stress career. I work a lot of hours....could I take time off to go to a gym...for me, it was a matter of getting up and exercising...having a gym in the house would have kept me here....since I telecommute to work.....forcing myself to get up and go to a gym was so hard....

And writing down what I ate. Jesus...that was an eye opener, once I gave in to the force I call the trainer torture man....

But, he was right. Calories in. Calories out.

I'm a picky eater. I don't like boxed foods nor do I care for packaged or frozen anything. I don't eat cereal or bread or jello...I'm a fat junkie...

***** Here is MY tip for anyone who wants to be a different body style****

Take the emotion out of food.

Now, to me, it's just fuel.

That took four months to take hold; but, it did. My honey can eat dark chocolate in front of me and I'm fine. It's just fuel.
