Welcome to my online weight loss journal. I am on a program called Lean for Life. I started my journey on January 20, 2004 weighing over 363. I use this journal to post my successes, struggles, and trials . I hope that I motivate, inspire and encourage others in the process. I post once a week so come back and see how I am doing.

I always get inspired to keep trying to lose the buldge every time I leave your site.

I went to the store yesterday and passed over the the can of cashews on sale for $2. The next aisle had my sf ice cream on sale for $2 and I wanted to
. I am working my way back to plan the first step is no more sf ice cream and cans of cashews. Once I get that stuff out of my system I will be ready to get back to LFL.

I am not posting weights right now. Not because I don't want to, but my scale has chosen to die on me. I just replaced the battery and it worked for a few weeks now it's not working again. At first I was freaking out - I thought I really need to see my weight in the mornings. I've decided it's a good thing. When I first started I did not have a scale. This forces me not to focus so much on my weight, but on getting myself back in gear doing the right things. I'm trying to see the positive in my $50 scale dying on me after 2 years. ![]()
Many of my wl friends are struggling with the same thing that I am dealing with. Our drive is not as strong as it once was. I have been fighting that spirit of complacency for a long time. For me starting at over 363 lbs and hurting everyday, I had more motivation to lose the weight. I had to learn to stop beating myself up over my inability to have that drive I had then. Right now I am working on my new motivation. The new motivators I posted was a start, but I don't read over those daily and maybe I should. I have been thinking of printing them on a 4X6 card and framing them for my room and desk. I know personally what happens if I quit out right and go back to my old ways. Not an option
. So everyday I look at my heavier pictures and remind myself of what I don’t want until I am firm in what I do want. For now it’s a matter of this
vs. that
for me.
