Let the game begin.

Since I wrote about my mission to lose 15 pounds yesterday, I have decided to blog about this as I go along. I think it might just keep me honest and provide me with a good "journal" type thingy. I have read it is good to do this, so why not here. I am going to up the poundage to an even 20, however. I got on the scale this morning and yes, Virginia, you can lose 20 pounds and be just fine. *heavy sigh* I am already missing the corn on the cob dripping with butter. I am realizing that there are certain healthy things that I eat, that I also make toxic by the time I am done. Corn on the cob is one of them! LOL (I think that is funny and I have no clue why!)

So, my apologies in advance to anybody reading this who could care less about what I weigh and my journey to make that number smaller. I will try and incorporate my usual mindless dribble so you are not completely bored with me.

This is not going to be easy. I woke up lastnight and pondered for a couple hours why losing weight can be so challenging. For me, it is because my personality is one that operates on immediate gratification. I can stand knowing that this will take me longer than a week or so. Eck. I also hate the feeling of being controlled. When and where this little nugget was born in me, I have no idea. I hate it that there are things that I should not have. "WHO SAYS!" that little voice in my head will yell.

Blah, blah, blah. Quit complaining.

I'll try along with you! I'm the same way...you can't tell me I can't have that! But it's exactly that attitude that has put me where I am so maybe "they" were right.

The hardest thing for me is the exercise. I rejoined the gym for the third time but I've already slipped.

Good luck!!
