It's time!

So my family and I have been discussing this weight loss challenge we wanted to do in 2013. 

I have literally been counting down the days, for several reasons really.

1. I am sick and tired of being fat!

2. I am not as healthy as a 22 year old should be.

3. I weigh the most now that I ever have!

4. I feel like, while I am a fairly outgoing person, at 247 lbs, I cannot do all of the things I want to do and I get intimidated by the "skinnies".

5. I want to be truly happy with myself, I don't need to be skinny, just healthy!

So, we all weighed in today. Like I said, I am heavier now than ever. I cannot do this anymore! In all reality I am slowly committing suicide. The realization of this literally makes me sick. The fact that I can do something to change this gives me hope, though. 

I have spent years talking about losing weight, but 2013 is going to be the year I actually do something about it!

2013 is going to be a great year. I am going to lose weight and be healthy. I am going to be happy with myself.

I am finally going to treat my body like the temple God created it as.
