I have been fat for so long that I really don't remember a time when I didn't have to think about my weight. By the way, I own the word fat, I don't find it offensive - it's the truth. I own a mirror, I know what I look like, so it's okay to say the f-word. I was trying to think of a name for this blog, and I decided on "finally tomorrow" because for years I have been saying that I will "start my diet tomorrow", and now tomorrow is finally here.
Thankfully I will not be undertaking this journey by myself, but with my husband. We have decided together that we are ready to take our lives back, and to get healthy so that we can enjoy life together instead of watching it pass us by while we sit on the couch and eat ice cream. So about us...
Me: 35 years old, 5'7" and 295 pounds (and believe me that hurts to even type, let alone say it out loud!)
Hubby: 46 years old, 6'4" and 356 pounds (hubby has actually lost about 60 pounds already over the past year just by walking more and cutting back on portions and fast food)
I decided to blog about this journey, because when it is over I want to look back and remember how far we have come - and have a place to write down all of the stuff that works. We have decided to try doing Weight Watchers, and will enroll in January. But my hope is to figure out how to eat healthy and still have it taste good. I can survive on rice cakes and water, but if I have to live that way it isn't any better than where we are now.
So, I will share recipes I find/create, update here as often as possible, and just keep trying to remember why we are doing this. I will probably post some pictures along the way, but until next time... it's finally tomorrow.
