I started this thing. I can't quit. My god, I'm weak. Even though I've lost 2 lbs already (sure as shit it's just water and shit, but hey, it's progress!), I hate being confined to food choices or amounts. Oh, I'm such a rebel at heart. But a fat rebel.
I am eating my fill of vegies -- and I do love vegies. I definitely eat plenty of raw and cooked fruits and vegies--well beyond the recommended amounts for a healthy diet. But I love ALL food. And I love LOTS of it.
My two main problems are (1) eating unreasonably large quantities of the high fat stuff, and to a lesser degree, the sugary refined crap, and (2) being too sedentary.
Why can't butter and cheese be a diet food? Why can't online gaming burn more calories? Woe is me.
But I am off to a good start. I've been walking more. Playing ping pong with the family instead of only sitting and watching movies/playing on the internet. I'm trying out a Zumba class tonight for the first time. I may even shave my winter legs and drag my fat ass to the pool.
This has been a hard start, but like I said -- I started this challenge with my friends. I have to see it through. I don't care if I win or not; I just want to prove to myself that for 13 weeks I can be good to myself, make the right choices, and hopefully create a trend in my own behavior and lifestyle that will provide enough momentum to carry me past 13 weeks to 13 years or so.
