Getting over the fear!

On the first day of my journey, 2/24 my weight was 313 lbs. I am not proud of that number; however, I do NOT hide behind it. Too often we are scared to tell others our weight because it makes us feel like we missed the mark, or maybe even embarrasses us. I am not embarrassed because I know that number will change, has changed, and will continue to decrease as each day progresses. On the exterior, I may not look like I weigh that amount, and as of this day, I do not weigh that amount; but in my heart, I weigh every single pound of it! As of today, 5 days later, I am 10 lbs. lighter. So currently, I am 303 lbs. and going down. My goal is to reach 175 lbs. by my birthday, next year. I am not going to try to rush myself, nor am I going to place unreasonable expectations on myself. I am going to make this real and I am going to tackle it one day at a time.
