My starting line

I recently posted a status on facebook to let the world know that I am tired being fat and negative....more so, fat.  Since I let the world know, I guess I have no choice but to follow through with it. 

I will be posting on here as much as I can to let everyone know my progress, my feelings, my motivations, etc.

I would appreciate words of encouragment every now and then just so I know I'm not alone in this process.

I realize that not many people will read this, much less respond to it, but I'm willing to try it out.

I'm going to put myself out there and let everyone know my weight and my struggles so you all will realize how serious this is to me.

Here it goes:

My weight is at a total of 340 lbs.
I am on high blood pressure pills.
I am on thyroid pills.
I'm not even close to diabetic...which is a good thing.
I have severe back pain to the point where it hurts to stand.
I do have some energy, but it doesn't last very long.
And I want to have kids someday, but not until I fix this.

I can't even take care of myself, much less another human being.

Ok....now I've said all there is to know.

Wish me luck!
