Prologue

I have just typed and deleted fourteen different ways to start this entry, and nothing is coming out right.  So, screw it - here we go.

I'm fat.  I'm tired.  And I'm really tired of being fat.  Time to actually really deal with it.  

I've tried hundreds of diets over the years, I've gone up and down, and up and down and up and .... up ... up ... up ... up.  Gah.

Currently, I weigh 264 pounds.  Everything hurts - my joints, my legs, my feet, my back.  I can barely get through the day anymore.  My job is too physically demanding .... for ME.  Everyone else can handle it fine.  

Step 1:

I'm going to try the HCG diet again.  I did sort of well the first time - until I totally screwed myself over and went off of it.  MY fault - not the diet's.  So, load days start tomorrow.  The next two days are theme park days - a lot of walking, and a lot of yummy food.  

Goal:  40lbs in 40 days.

Let's do this.
