Day One

I will be turning 35 at the end of this year.  Losing weight has been on my to-do list for a long time but it hasn't been a priority.  This blog is going to be my motivation to bump this item to the top of the list.  I know I am overweight--maybe even obese.  When I look in the mirror I don't see myself that way most of the time.  When I see myself in a photograph, I can tell.  What is the difference?  I have no clue!  Starting today I am going to try to be real with myself about this.  I am going to admit that I eat a bowl of ice cream literally every night before bed!  Yikes--did I just write that out?  Anyway, here I go (deep breath)--I am going to make a lifestyle change starting today and my goal is to lose 35 pounds before I turn 35.  I probably need to lose more than that--but I figure you got to start somewhere.  Wish me luck!
