Today, I live for me.

I know I am fat, I have know this. It has bothered me but not to the point where I was really ready to do something about. (Although I know I should have.) While at the Eric Church concert in Seattle recently I came to the realization that I needed to make a change ... my *kitten* was to wide to sit in the stadium seats. I was more embaressed than anything, to the point that I cried. It took me a few days to figure out what I wanted to do. Which lead me to Myfitnesspal ... I have started tracking every little thing I eat. It has been almost a week since I started this and I have not stopped. I can not stop. My next step (come payday) is to get a swimsuit so I can start swimming. I need to exercise and the low impact of swimming will not allow for my to use the excuse my back hurts. No more excuses for me. :) Today, I live for me.
