Day .5
The first half day. I wouldn't call this the first day cause it wasn't but an hour or so ago that I've realized just what I need to do. I think it was looking at my hands. I've always been big but the weight never showed in some areas. Usually, my face was the last place to see it but now, I looked at my hands. They looked puffy. The fat in my body is now being stored in my HANDS. I can't do this anymore. I can't just listen to Amy (my fiancee) telling me I'm tall or I'm broad build, that it isn't that bad. She looks at me with rose colored glasses.
It is that bad. It is 400 pounds bad. I did some research and the 'norm' for me is 190..yeah that isn't going to happen. I would be sickly. I do have some muscle on me, mainly on my legs. I do have a broad build. I decided on 220.
That is just the overall goal. Now let's set some reasonable goals. My birthday is Feb 20. I'll be 35 then. That is 7 weeks so let's aim for..386. That is 2 pounds a week. While that sounds like alot, I think the inital weight will drop faster just because of the calorie loss. 4400 is the overall baseline to keep this weight. We are going to drop that. I am don't going to drop it too hard, that would be bad. I can think of a few things to change in my diet and some bad habits to overcome.
The first simple goal is to get home today without stopping at Wendys for something to eat before getting home. Amy will be making dinner, so I don't need it.
I have to keep that in mind, I don't need it.
Tomorrow, it begins in full.

It's where I definately notice weight gain too.
. So tomorrow back to the drawing board. We are suppose to get 3to 6 inches of snow, starting tonight into Wednesday. Our electric could go off this time, because it will be the wet heavy snow. If we get as much as they predict I will take a picture this time and use it as my avatar.
