IF I LOOK BACK AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR

My eating was deadly.. In the mornings I would stop at Panera Bread and pick up one either Crunchy Cinnamon Bagel or Asiago Cheese bagel or a Blueberry bagel or sometimes 2 bagels plus .. I would get a cheese danish and a cookie.. or I would get a scone instead of the cookie or a pull apart muffin. Either way several times a week I would come to work loaded with One or 2 bagels that i would either eat plain or with hazel nut cream cheese then i would eat the cheese danish and or cookie or scone or whatever else I brought.. then I would go out to lunch.. Pizza, or to this little place called Wrights Dairy that had a small wonderful lunches.. and those are not that bad.. but every day I went there I would get full fat 2 scoops of some icecream.. it was the only full fat icecream I could eat with out getting sick.. I would then go back to work .. surely I had some type of something in the afternoon.. come home eat dinner and start again the next day.. If I was not doing a Panera run I would stop at the quick mart or gas station and pick up buddy bars, candy bars, maybe chips.. or something.. I would often do run throughs there for icecream bars chocolate ecliars icecream bars.. I would eat this food in quick order.. and I simply did not care... now perhaps to some of you that does not sound like a lot of food.. and to some of you that sounds like a gross amount of food.. but keep this in mind.. for those of you who think that was not eating a lot at one sitting or during the day... 2 things.. I am 4 ft 11 inches tall.. I ate high calorie high fat food. it put me at 211.5 pounds at my heavest. so thats a lot of weight for my short body.. the good thing for me is that I am not petite just short.. so I have a larger bone structure.. hence the higher goal weight.. if I got down to under 110 pounds with my bone size I would look terrible. 132 does not make me perfect.. but its what I feel is doable in the long run..

Today I am proud of myself.. for although my eating may not be perfect... I am a far sight better than I was last year at this time.. I weigh about 183 today .. last year I was 211.5 possibly more at that time.

I promise each of you.. If I can make these changes you can too.. no matter how bad you feel right this second or how discouraged or down .. or anything.. I promise you.. it can be done.. Watch me.. I will do it... and so will you..

HERE IS TO US!!!

WISH ME WELL

WISH YOU WELL TOO
