Well my fellow losers, whether we are ready for it or not, today is the day we do our first weigh-in. The day we face the scale and say that we will not be afraid to look our problem in the face and say we will no longer let it rule us.
We can take control of our weight. For some of us it will be harder than for others. For some of us, it will be a daily struggle, but one that we can make it through.
Battling the "bulge" has been a struggle for me for many years. Like many of you, I didn't become out of shape and overweight overnight. It was a gradual process that crept up so slowly at first that I didn't realize it was happening. Once I did, I felt helpless to do anything about it because I thought I was too fat to exercise. Besides, I couldn't possibly be as "chunky" as the scale said I was. That thing had to be wrong!
Well, the scale wasn't wrong. Once I started admitting that I had a problem, I could come to terms with it and either let myself remain as I was or I could change it.
I chose to change it, partly for health reasons and partly, I will admit, for reasons of vanity. I am tired of looking fat and out of shape!
It's exciting to know that I CAN do something about my weight. I found that out last year when I lost weight after years of thinking it just wasn't possible.
For those of you in the area who are joining the Be A Loser With Karin challenge, I look forward to charging forward with you as we encourage and push one another along toward our own personal goals!
Good luck and Press on!
