my journey to being thin(ner)

i often wonder how many times i have said that over the years and why i keep thinking it WILL be different… could it be that i’m in a better place right now, both mentally and physically? could it be that i’m just fed up, once and for all, and really want to succeed at this weight loss thing? am i not happy at my current weight? its probably a combo of those and several more that are too silly to mention but this is what i struggle with… as the saying goes, “there’s a time and place for everything” so i guess this is my time to get serious…

i have lost about 10+ pounds doing a variation of WW but its been slow and not as rewarding as it should be - i’ve slacked off, i’ve eaten things i shouldn’t have, i’ve skipped going to the gym because i didn’t feel like it, and the list goes on… i would be closer to my goal if i hadn’t kept ‘putting it off’ so maybe that’s why this time is going to be different… i have set mini-goals of 5 lb. increments and will use those along the way - hopefully ending at 145… i’d be happy to see that weight once on the scale but with my age and the way things go, it just may not be realistic (or easy to maintain)… i’m going to use this journal to keep track of my journey along the way so wish me luck!
