TIME TO GET REAL


I am aware that I am becoming one of those people with multiple ailments, aches and pains and I don't like it. I don't want to talk about it. I keep trying to ignore it. I can't anymore.

For the past several years my weight has climbed from obese to morbidly obese. I have looked into surgery (too expensive). I have dieted, I have exercised. I know what I need to do. I obviously don't want to do it.

I have done as Oprah suggested and peeled back the layers to see what makes me overeat. I have read books and articles. I have gone to the doctor. The last time I successfully lost weight was in 2000. I went low carb. It was fairly easy, though expensive and time consuming.

This new blog will be my area to track my resolve to feel better and make lasting changes in my life. I plan to be pretty brutal with myself. I have asked my daughter to take a revealing photo of me to post.
