OK, I knew this was going to be hard, but I didn't realize how hard it would be. You think I would understand how hard it is to break a habit from being an ex smoker. Let me tell you, it's way different. You can take cigarettes out of your life and not kill yourself, but you can't take food out of your life for good.
I walked into this knowing that I would struggle to break my eating habits. I guess that is what sucks about being an instant gratification kind of girl. It's not going to happen overnight, as much as I wish it too.
I did skip a carb loaded sandwich and ate a salad instead for dinner. Woot. There's a step in the right direction. Go me!
Now I just need to get my lazy arse to the gym and workout. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. I need to use my 5 day pass at the new gym before it expires. Which just happens to be on monday.
So, there we have it... I will update again!

Current Stats
Ok, here's a free for all, I am telling the world my hideous weight, stats.
I am starting out at 251 pounds. My current goal is to break 200 pounds by summer and my ultimate goal is 135. I realize this is going to be a lot of hard work, but with a good support system I know I can do it.
Friends, family, and followers, this is my accountibility. My way of staying on track. Encourage me, push me to strive to be my best.
In an attempt to make myself drink more water, I went and bought a PUR water pitcher today. I have already downed a whole pitcher, go me!
I also went to the nutritionist yesterday. We talked about my current eating habits and figured out that I need to start eating more often during the day. I know that I forget to eat and when dinner rolls around I am so hungry that I way overeat.
We set some goals so I can hold myself accountable. Numero Uno is setting reminders on my phone to remember to eat every 3-4hours and the second is going to the gym at least 3x/week.
I go back to see the nutritionist on feb 18. I WILL have a good progress report at that time and we will adjust my goals as needed.
Now I just need to get myself a day of the week to report progress. Any ideas???

The Obligatory Introduction post!
Hi People!
It's me, well, hello to the 2, or 10, of you that will actually follow this blog. I am here to say that because of my lack of taking interest in my own health and well being, that I have been diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease. Basically what this means is that if I don't attack it now, when I'm 60 or 70 I'll be just another person on the liver transplant list. I really don't want to be there.
I want to be here to see my boys grow up, graduate from high school, then college, then get married, and then have babies of their own someday.
I recently joined a gym, I just went to the nutritionist and I started keeping a food and exercise log. I feel good about getting myself on track and I am super excited to be a healthier (and thinner) me! I will blog about my experiences and weight loss journey. So, be there or be square! Welcome to my journey, I hope you enjoy the ride!!
