in Introduce Yourself
I've had a rough past 4 years, and I'm done. Long story short, 4 years ago I lost my grandmother, my mom, even my little old cat. I moved three times in that same year span... and the thing I let go of was eating. I was a wreck for a good year or two, and I've been trying to lose this weight for about 2 years now. I finally sold my late mother's house, and I'm going to be closing the estate soon. I'm almost done.

But I'm done with this being fat thing, right now.

Something changed in my head recently. I'm starting the Gold's Gym Challenge next week, I started seeing a personal trainer again (I work a lot of overtime, so I feel it comes out in the wash), and I've told myself I'm done.

I just plotted a mile around the streets near my house. I feel like my lungs are bleeding but I did it. I'm sitting here thinking well, I guess that wasn't *that* terrible. And now that I've done it I was wondering why I was so scared to actually start pushing myself for so long.

so hi! That's my long story, short.

    OK writing back to this, 2 weeks later! Booya. I've had almost 2 weeks in a row of eating dinner I cook at home, including a lot more fruits and veggies. Still going.

    Lost about 3 pounds already.

    I need to lose a lot more, so if I just keep this going, I'll probably be done by July around this time. That seems like a long time to wait, so maybe I'll try to kick it up a couple notches. I'm doing the Gold's Gym Challenge now, so we'll see what we can do! 10 more weeks to go on that.
