… to help you really bunker down to loose weight then seeing yourself in pictures at the pool next to your oh so skinny and gorgeous sister will do it. I wont torture you with pictures, but lets just say it looked like a guppy swimming next to a whale.

I’m keeping track of my calories at www.myfooddiary.com and it’s really helped a lot. I can track my excersise (or lack of it) and what I eat. So if I want to eat more food than I’m allowed (which I often do) then I need to excerise off some calories to do it. Its not a weight loss plan, I’m not only eating beef or never eating fat or something silly. I’m just making healthier decisions. I know I’m not going to wake up tomorrow at 100lbs (first that’d be way too skinny, but then I guess I could work on gaining weight, which is SO much more fun than loosing it). But I have an idea of when I can start to leave my barf bucket at home when looking at pictures of myself.

… but I’m starting a diet today. Actually starting one, not just thinking about it in my head, not just considering trying harder at eating healthy but actually doing something. Now granted doing something only amounted to drinking maybe 2 fl. oz of water and setting up an account on my diet website, but hey that’s something right? Tonight I’ll play volleyball (which counts for working out).

I’d like to loose 60lbs which is also a big deal for me. Mainly admitting that I’ve allowed myself to gain that much. So I’m talking about it here to ask you for your encouragment and ask for you to hold me accountable. So here I go!!!! I think I’ll drink more of my water now (then I’ll have sweet tea yum)
