Okay...I toggle back and forth between 279.6-285.8 and this yo-yo ride of emotions must come to an end. THIS. SUMMER! Granted I have not "worked out" today as of yet, but my daughter will be traveling to the library in about thirty minutes. At that time, I plan to go to our neighborhood park and walk seven laps on the 1/2 mile track. According to the scales this morning, I was at the 279.6 mark. The overall goal is to be at 269.5 on July 31st. This is in itself is a magnanimous feat for me because I haven't seen that weight in quite some time.
I went from 245 to 272 to 289 to 293 and eventually 293 within a four year period. I considered undergoing surgery, but then who wants to deal with all kinds of hanging skin after gastric by-pass surgery? I sure don't. For those who have endured gastric bypass surgery and been rewarded in massive weight loss--I salute you. Weight loss by means of surgery is just not for me.
I would hope to see my picture on the cover of People magazine's annual 'Half Their Size' issue. This is truly an enterprise that will take more than willpower on my behalf. In order for me to be successful, I will need to know that there are people "out there" who can feel my pain, relate to it, and give me encouraging words to accomplish the dream. I don't need the naysayers telling me about the conditions of society and be satisfied with who you are crap. Obviously, I'm not satisfied.
I endeavor to walk 3.5 miles and complete a 30 day challenge on my Wii Active Challenge.
Peace.
