Day 1... the encounter with the scale

So.  Today is my day one.  I weighted myself, and lets just say that I am under 315 but over 270... I think that it makes me feel a little bit better not really saying out loud what I really weight. However it would be nice if my back account and my weight were flipped around : ) if only. And in retrospect that is kind of sad to wish that I had more then 250 in the bank!

Anyway.  So as I am weighting myself today I came across a odd thought.  How should one really weigh themselves?  I mean I had a sorority sister in college that would put both arms out like she was going to fly and another that lifted a leg like she was a dog ready to pee... I mean really?  But I gave it the good old college try and after 3, non changing weigh-in, I feel as though I did well.  The first one is always the hardest right? 

But I did notice something on my first day of dieting too, it is ever loving hard to diet!  I mean there seems to be food EVERYWHERE.  And when I say EVERYWHERE I mean it, and it is the good stuff too!  Why is it that when you are not dieting you never notice it but then when you are it is right there in your face saying, "eat me, yum!"... To be honest though I am not really dieting as I am eating better.  Hm.  Maybe that is just one of those thing that no one can answer and is just that. 

I am posting a day one picture of myself to see the progression of my "I want to look good naked" body. :) 

One word right...EW! But things will change! 

On another note can I just talk about customers for a second.  OK I am in the retail business and I sell "intimates aka bras and panties"... women are a pain in the ass.  Good god.  And on top of that they are rude as can be.  Just to give and example I  had this woman tell me that I was so beautiful and that if I were 50 pounds lighter she would introduce me to her son. WTF!!!!! Okay just because I am nice and am bringing you a bra does not mean that a) I want to date your son or that I need to be told to loose weight b) your life story c) a pity party and how your life is so bad d) all of the above things you can think of including your sex life!  I am NOT I repeat NOT interested!! <- Just needed to get that out I suppose!

The night before...

Well I have come to conclusion... I am fat... And not in the good "phat" way either.  Its not that I didn't realizes this before, I think that it is more... I am ready, really ready to do something about it. So I am giving myself a challenge!  

On August 26 of this year I will be turning 24. Wow 24, that is a year away from being a quarter of a century old... BLAH.. But with age comes beauty! Right? Or is that wisdom? Ah. Not that it really matters. Anyway... I digress.... So my goal to myself is to shed  60 to 80 pounds by then.  I think that this is a good amount, 60 pounds in 6 months. I can do it. It will be interesting to see  how things pan out really.  

So....

• Step 1: Get a gym membership <- that I will USE... Check!

• Step 2: Get into better eating habits <- aka no more fast or unhealthy food... Check ( can I just say though that MacDonald ice cream is my down fall)

• Step 3: Get into a routine with work, working out, school, and life in general!.. Check! <- HA!!!! okay who are we really kidding here?  Has anyone in the history of the world ever really been able to say that?  I mean come on.......

• Step 4: Just do it! Check!

Okay so there it is. 4 simple steps, one simple goal, and ambition up the yin yang.... lets just hope that I can do it right?
