I guess you have noticed I don’t blog much anymore. I’m really good at posting once a month and rededicating myself to blogging but it never happens. Thanks to my use of pictures I still get a good bit of traffic though.
So I started writing this blog over a year ago to chronicle my weight loss journey. I’ve been walking in place for a year now. Still at the same weight. The positive to this is that I’m not any bigger. I don’t have to tell any of you that it is not easy to lose weight. I know one day I will get the weight off. Of course I started out by reading The Beck Diet Solution. Although I’m not skinny, I still feel like this book has been extremely helpful. Maybe I will dust it off and try again.
I am very unhappy that I am overweight. Not unhappy enough to quit eating chocolate by the truckloads, but unhappy. Why am I unhappy at my current weight? Everything else in my life is pretty good. Although I do wake up about three days a week and think “Is this it? Is this my life?” Am I really destined to get up and do the same things over and over again? I know the answer to this question and it has nothing to do with destiny. It has to do with me getting off of my fat ass and making my life different.
How can I make my life different??
To be continued…

Are you familiar with the “fat acceptance” movement? The idea is too stop focusing on weight loss and stop putting your life on hold. Instead, do what you want to do NOW. Don’t let your weight hold you back! Live a healthy life (or do the best you can) even if you don’t lose weight.
A great starting place is this blog:

Good luck no matter what!

Hi There.
I’m a bit older, wejgh a bit more and am probably more unhappy with my shape. With me its pure laziness. My last personal trainer told me I would loose weight, or in my case, gain definition by lifting more weights, I soon stopped visiting his gym. I occasioally run in the morning, never walk, and excess weight is the the reult.
Worst of all. I can give weight controll advice based on NLP, but dont really follow the bit abot exercise and burning calories.
You, however, seem to look good, and from what I have read, have an enjoyable blogg, keep it up.
