Let the weight loss begin!

It's time to get serious folks. I am beyond motivated and going to do this! So, from now on this Blog will be about my journey to 180 lbs. I think this is an attainable goal. And, since I don't know what I will even look like at 180, we'll see if that is my ultimate goal or if I want to lose a bit more.

Being fat is messing up my body. I get winded, I get gassy and uncomfortable and heartburny from all the crappy food I eat. I don't ovulate normally, if at all. That's the real kicker. Tom and I want to start having little ones sometime soon, but my body can't even ovulate normally. I will go months without so much as a period. Sorry if this is too much information, but I never knew that excess weight could mess up your system so much! I've done alot of research lately on fertility and obesity, and the results are not good. I need to go to the doc for sure to see what is going on, but I have a good idea he/she is going to tell me that I have polycystic ovarian syndrom. I don't want to self diagnose, but I have many of the symptoms- abnormal periods/no periods, some sprouting facial hair (not bad, but a few dark hairs here and there seem to be popping up) darkened areas of skin in certain places, and hair loss. I noticed my hair was getting thinner in the front, and had no idea why. It also can have things to do with your insulin, which would explain why sometimes I feel like my blood sugar is off almost to the point of passing out. NOT GOOD people!

So, I am getting serious. I'm not going to let my life choices affect my health. This is going to be my accountability blog. I am going to be journaling everything I eat. EVERYTHING. No cheating. And I am going to share my weight with the world. Because you all know I am fat, and it is time to be accountable for the numbers. I will also be tracking my exercise. So here we go with day one...
