The hardest part of any life changing goal is making the decision to pursue it.

Then to actually have the strength to stand up and DO IT!

Over the next 12 months (December 1^st 2008 through December 1^st 2009) my main focus will be changing my weight.

I need the energy, the healthier life style.

As of this writing I weigh 289 pounds and I am 5’ 10”. I’m just coming off one of my favorite holidays, THANKSGIVING! I ate until I literally threw up. For 3 days straight.

How could I do this to myself? How could I allow myself to eat until I was literally vomiting!? It has to stop. Not just for me but for my family. I want to set an example for my daughter that if you set my mind to something it can be accomplished and that being healthy and active is essential to living a fulfilling life.

The first time I noticed my weight had gotten out of control is when I couldn’t play basketball with my little brother the way I used to be able to. I have always been big but I could move well.

On this occasion I could not even keep up with him for a second. It wasn’t possible I was big, clumsy, and gasping for air within minutes.

I will post pictures soon of my current weight and I will document my journey obsessively so that I can look back on all of this with pride. 

December 1^st is my birthday and it will be my rebirthday!

If you are a visitor I hope you enjoy the site and be sure to visit the forums! I hope others will join me in meeting our life goals.
