Today as I sit here among the remnants of Christmas 2015 I am going to make a promise to myself to get back on track, eat healthily and attempt some exercise.
My name is Jo and I am the heaviest I have ever been. I am now so super morbidly obese that I fear I will not survive to see another Christmas. I have a lovely husband and three wonderful teenage daughters at home and an older daughter who lives just around the corner with her two children and partner. They are all very worried about me and I feel just awful about scaring them so much.
I am exhausted doing the smallest of tasks and cannot walk more than a few steps without a lot of pain. My challenges are many but I really want to live, to see my children grow up and to grow old with my lovely husband. I have been fat since puberty but up till my 30's it was manageable. I'm now 46, the weight is just piling on due to my inactivity and greediness. I have bought yet another set of scales as I have outgrown the last few sets and I vow that these will be the last ones I buy.
I don't have any detailed plans as such yet but the very first thing I need to do is to lose some weight. I think 10lbs will be a good start and so I am going to cut out the crappy treats and eat better food for me. I try and make home cooked food for my family so I can control what goes into everything. I think if I don't eat desserts unless it's a piece of fruit, eat more vegetables and track my calories on MFP I will have a chance of making it.
I will try to update my diary regularly as it is good to get things recorded. I will start first thing in the morning and I will win this fight against the fat. Thank you for reading this and wish me courage and perseverence.
