My Space

My Space, which can be a pretty large area, is going pretty well today :-). Again, I find it amazing how hard it is to eat all of the food you are supposed to eat or allowed to to eat when you are making good choices. Do not get me wrong. Three days does not make a life change but it is a start. Understand that food has been a drug for me. I eat when I am happy, I eat when I am sad. I eat to celebrate. Today was a pretty stress free day at work so I was not tested as I could be. One day at a time and one pound at a time. I did not put the pounds on overnight I can not take them off overnight

I do not want to die!!!!

Based on the title of my blog you can probably figure out that I have a slight weight problem. I have decided that for the next 365 days in my journey to lose weight and get my body in shape I will also commit to write about my experience. I am 41 years old and weigh a whopping 364 lbs!!!!! The heaviest I have ever been. I sat in the doctors office two years ago overweight, a smoker and dog tired from real bad sleep apnea. My doctor pretty much confirmed what I already new. I better get in shape before I could not physically do it any more or I died, whichever came first. I have controlled the sleep apnea with a CPAP machine, one of the best things I ever did....... and I have quit smoking, the best thing I ever did for myself.. Now it is on to the weight loss. I am doing weight watchers because I know it will work. I considered surgery but would prefer to keep that option as a last resort, although I am getting close to that time. So, I will write everyday for the next year. No pulling punches, complete honesty and full disclosure. Good or Bad....... Come along for the ride. It should be fun
