23 January 2008.

Day one of the rest of my life and I have to say it was hard. VERY HARD. I decided that I have to do this. I cannot believe how big I am. I find it hard to play with my daughter, the dogs. I doubt that my husband finds me attractive and I always feel like shit, I have to buy cloths from a catalogue and worst of all I cannot get pregnant So good enough reason as any to loose this suitcase of weight that I am carring around

As I said today was difficult, but I had great intentions. I drank loads of water but the foods was just not filling me, But I will progress.

So todays breakdown:

WATER: 2 Liters
CALORIES: 1594

Not bad for day one. Kind of conforting to know that I can do it but I am hungrey now and I said that I would not let this diet get me hungrey but it is 20.48 and I am not eating now (water here I come)

But here is my great news. I has been about a year since I weighed myself so I thought I would be hitting 336lbs and I weighed myself today and I am only 283 (only !! yea right) many people would rather die than weigh 283 however at least I dont have to loose the 53lbs to get from 336 to 283 .

Well I will sign off for now.

Well I'm glad for you that you weigh less than you thought. And I have similar reasons for wanting to lose weight...well except the getting pregnant, i dont want no more. I'm having problems drinking enough water. But i'm getting better at it. Just keep at it and you'll see the lbs just melt away.

Just to let you know, on August 6th last year i was 286 lb and when I got weighed today I was 210.

I have worked my ass off with my diet (calorie controlled) and in the gym. I would be the first to admit that it was far from easy but it just goes to show you that what you face is not an impossible task (it felt like it to me when I first started) and with will power and determination it can be done.

Go for it!!

Over time it gets much easier, and the water becomes natural and so does the lower calorie eating! Good job so far!

The first day is always the hardest, but I found the more days in a row I eat healthy (within my calorie range) and worked out, the easier it became.

Hang in there! That's awesome you're drinking so much water!
