I know that this is going to be a difficult task. I have wanted to lose weight for a while and I have watched my brother do an amazing job being able to go to a gym and have someone to be accountable for. My sister in law has finally started the same program and is well on her way to losing weight. I am very proud of them and really need a kick in the pants to get myself started. If I had the time, money, and support, I would totally join my brother's gym. It sounds like a place that I would really hold myself accountable too but for now, I will have to try this on my own.
The last time I lost the weight, I was told by a doctor that I had acid reflux, my clothes were to tight, I had a lot of stress, and I was "fat"... it was a real wake up call for me and I immediately joined eDiets. It was great, I had someone to be accountable too. I had to check in on the website and I had a chat group of great individuals that I could talk with and share what I was feeling and they gave me the support I needed. It was a great experience and I lost 45 lbs in 3 months. I felt great. About 6 months ago, I thought I would try and lose weight again but when I tried talking with someone there just wasn't a lot of support. It is very hard to lose weight when you don't have someone to be accountable too.
I have started this blog as my way of being accountable. I know that it is easy to say and easier to ignore. If I want, I could simply delete the blog but I am hopeful that people will see this and be helpful in sharing support and thoughts. This will not be easy and I will need support. If you are in the same boat and want someone to talk to, feel free to post on the blog and we can be supportive of each other.
