No, Really

I have always known (or at least felt) that I am fat, and I can even remember a teacher in elementary school commenting on how big I was. Indeed my Mom helped me work out at the time and I lost a lot of weight. But the feeling of being fat stuck with me.

I can remember thinking how fat I was in high school, but I looking back at pictures from that time and realize I was at worst a little overweight.

But things have come to a head.

A few months ago I decided I needed to lose weight. I bought a scale that went up to 400 lbs, and started in at 388 lbs.

I got down to 363, and like always found excuses for eating poorly and not going for the daily walk/exercise.

So after a heart to heart talk with my wife last night I got up this morning and weighed myself.

And the scale, which goes up to 400, could not weight me.

I weigh over 400 lbs.

A barrier that I promised my self I would never cross.

I think that tracking, in this blog, EVERYTHING I eat and all the activity I complete will help me loose weight, because I am choosing to do it in a public manner.

So, please, as my good friends, check be here periodically and please feel free to give me crap if I don't keep it up.
