A Year To Save My Life ...

[TheOnlyWayIsDown]

Tonight, a decision has been made. I have been shopping and bought a weeks worth of healthy food, tomorrow I am joining the gym and my weight loss journey begins. My last one.

I will not dwell on past mistakes, they can't be changed, need to get my head straight and get moving.

I don't weigh myself very often so will force myself to weigh in once a month, the first.

Start weight: 247 lbs

I have given myself to April 2013 to lose this excess body fat or I am going for weight loss surgery.

Good luck to you, it is possible! I was 294lb at my worst, and this week I celebrate being overweight for the first time since I was a child! I hope never to be obese again!!

Oh wow well done moosh! And very best of luck to you towid! You know what though, don't rely on the surgery either, don't let yourself think this is the second to last straw.. I've been noseying at the WLS threads and it doesn't look to be the successful breeze it's always made out to be. A lot of people seem to lose weight then put it back on, I always thought it'd be permanent!
But yeah I wish you success! I'm quite enjoying my diet at the moment and I put so much of that down to this forum, it's an amazing support <3
