Day 1

Well ... what got me to 297 pounds? I'll tell you it wasn't eating things that were good for me ... It's been a rough year. My dog had a massive spinal operation and recovery from January through March. My Mom got cancer in April and died in May right before Mother's Day. A dear friend of my partner and I overdosed and died in June leaving her son an orphan and wanting us to take him in ... through all of it I ate. And I ate alot. And it wasn't salad. It was oreos and ice cream and fast food and lots of doughnuts.
So when I weighed myself at the doctors office (I was with my Dad who the doctor was seeing and I snuck into an empty office so no one would see) I literally thought, "Well you are as exactly fat as you thought you were."
Today I got on my new bike and rode 8 miles and it took about 40 minutes and it felt great. My ass hurts though ... I am committed to transforming my life and I hope you'll join me ... I'll post photos of what I look like know and my triumphs and challenges ... no matter what I will be honest and tell it like I see it ...
Here's to making it stick ...
