Baby Steps

First off I’m not a writer.  Anybody who has ever read an email from me knows this, I’m the world’s worst speller and I leave out words.  But I will proof read this blog!  That is the one promise I can make.

I just watched the movie Julie/Julia, and like most people it has inspired me to write my own blog.  Since Julie’s days of blogging began in 2002, blogs have since grown, so I’m sure I will not get the response she did.  While Julie’s blog was about her journey through the Julia Child’s cookbook, mine is just the opposite. This is the blog about what happens after you eat Julia Child’s food for years…

My weight gain journey starts like many others…COLLEGE! While college is not totally to blame, it was the start.  My food groups for the past few years have been Fast Food (I don’t discrimate, I love them all), bacon, pasta (really any carbs will do) and chocolate.  So why was I surprised when I started gaining weight?  My favorite food groups would not do this to me, we were having a love affair.

"Name the Diet" is a game I like to play.   I can guarantee that I’ve paid lots of $ for the diet, and then I gave up a month into the it.  I do believe that diets do not fail, but motivation falls people.  I am not motivated.  I’m currently doing the Jenny Craig diet, I’m not even finished paying this off, and I’m ready to give up!  Well my hopes is that if I make my struggle with weight loss public maybe that will hold me accountable besides the money factor.  While I do have a very strong support system, like many people I'm failing.

I will not be sharing with you my weight, but I will share with you my eating habits, my progress on my weekly weigh-ins, and my lack of excerise.  I promise to update once a day or at the least every other day. So here goes nothing, my first of hopefully many blogs.
