305.4 lbs
That number scares me to death, but it was the number I faced when I got on the scale this morning. I am 25 years old and I am over 300 lbs..I feel like I should be at some AA meeting and talking to a group of people about this, but this will have to do for now. I have never seen myself as overweight. When I look in the mirror I see someone thinner than that number. Maybe that is one of the reasons I let it get this bad. I am also one of those people that tends to procrastinate to the point of doing something extremely last minute..like 30 minutes before class last minute. One of my doctors a few months ago told me that she was seeing sign of diabetes. It scared me, but apparently not so much. I year ago I had my gallbladder removed. So that means I cannot have fried, fatty and otherwise food that I feel that I cannot live without..what did I do after surgery? Went to a fast food place in town and got a chicken sandwich..I still eat fast food..I am not gonna lie here since I have already told you my weight...I even had some yesterday..wasn't very proud of myself for that one. In my mind, there always has to be a day one. I have had many different day ones' for many different reasons. Not only am I starting another weight loss journey, but I have also decided to quit smoking..probably not the brightest of ideas, but I figured that I might as well stop everything that is bad in order to have my life change.
I guess I will also talk about smoking here, since that is a big part of my life, but I will mostly focus on my weight loss for blogging purposes. I will also be writing down what I eat during the day, including my opinion about the food that I eat. I am hoping that I can get some feedback from people that are doing weight loss plans as well.
So here is to Day 1...the millionth Day 1...but hopefully the last.
Breakfast (9:30am approx)
Yoplait Light and Fat Free
Flavor: Very Vanilla
Calories: 110
My opinion: pretty tasty, considering that I stay away from fat free foods like they are the plague. Possibly a new favorite yogurt flavor as well
Glass of water #1

My opinion: Very Tasty! They also come in individual packs, which as every person trying to lose weight knows is important! I got these at Walmart down the snack aisle..this week they are by 2 for $5 and I believe there are 7 packs in a box. I may have to go back tonight for some more!
