Day 1--The Beginning of a New Life.

I'm really new to the whole "blogging" process, so please bare with me if I ramble on. I guess a good place to start is to explain why I've decided to do a blog. The main reason why I've decided to blog is to keep track of my weight loss and to maybe gain some support of loved ones and friends. Its really embarrassing to me to say that I'm 100+ pounds over weight...

I woke up one day and didn't recognize the person in the mirror. I know that sounds really cliche' but it was a life changing moment for me. Right now, it sickens me to think of what I've become. I have no self confidence, or self esteem. I think people are constantly judging me because of my weight, and I really don't feel like I can truly connect with someone because I always hold myself back. I'm scared of failure and rejection, and I honestly think my weight is the main root cause of all of my self doubting and self loathing problems.

I really hope to gain more self discipline and a stronger will from this entire process [not to mention I'd really like to rock a pair of skinny jeans ;])

During my weight loss journey I am going to blog everyday, even if its only a couple of sentences or song lyrics or pictures that have impacted me that day.
I'm also keeping a weight loss journal, where I'm going to count calories and write down food intake etc.
My mother and I are going to be walking at Freeman Lake in E-town every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (around 1:15 at the Ring Rd. side...if y'all want to join...weather permitting...of course)
I also plain on walking in Hodgenville at the Creek Front on Tuesdays and Thursdays (cause knowing me...if I take even a small break, I wont get back in to walking...its all or nothing right now)

I'm really excited about my up and coming change, I just need to stay positive and motivated. I really hope I haven't rambled on too much.
