I was running a few errands today and stopped at a gas station for a drink. It as a very hot day and I thought a bottled water sounded good. Once I got inside I decided to pick up two hot dogs (because they're a much better price when you buy two, of course), a snack cake and a coke. As I'm driving down the road, after stuffing myself with this incredibly unhealthy food and feeling terrible, I decided that was enough. It was time for a change. I currently weigh about 220 lbs and stand just over six feet tall. Not incredibly overweight but I certainly feel awful. I'm not very physically active and have been under an incredible amount of stress lately. I'm hoping to change my eating habits, start a regimented exercise program and get healthy. Hopefully, with a little support from this community, I can start to make that happen. I'll should be able to update my profile by this weekend and give you all a little more information about myself.
