Stats

Ok so deep breath...
I weigh 280 pounds.
Whew. I got that over with. That is a scary thing but I did it.
I actually admitted what I weigh.
I have always been heavy. Never been truly skinny but this is the most I have ever weighed in my entire life. And its A LOT.  A healthy BMI for my height of 5'3" is between 18.5 and 24.9. I have a BMI of 49.6. That is scary to just look at. I should weigh between 107 and 139 pounds to be considered a healthy BMI.
I have a very long way to go. I would love to be healthy. Hell I'd love to be under 200 pounds.
I am not crazy. This will take time.
A lot of time.
I understand that I cant continue on the path that I'm on. I just can't. I don't plan on writing down every single thing I eat. I'm not counting calories or points or fat grams. Not just yet. For right now my goal is to just simply get moving.
To get off the couch.
Put down the chips.
And get my ass in gear.
For the time being this is just simply a way for me to keep track of the progress I'm making in controlling my eating.
Just the simple fact that maybe someone will stumble upon my blog and I could be an inspiration to someone to do the same thing is enough for me.
I'll post my progress whenever I can. I'll share everything I can.
I joined sparkpeople.com today. My name is Teresa525600. Friend me. Help me stay motivated.

Hi!

Hey! My name is Teresa. I'm 27 years old. I have started this to keep track of my weight loss, exercise and goals.

So here it goes...

Here's the thing. I love to eat. I love food. I have a massive problem with binge eating. I want to view what I do as an eating disorder(ish). I don't starve myself (obviously!). However I don't binge and purge either. I just binge. I love carbs. I love bread and pasta and chips. I love beer. However I have gotten to a point with my weight that I don't recognize myself. And that's scary. 

My goal with this is to give myself that kick in the butt that I need to stick with a diet. No. Not a diet. A life change. 

I am the mommy to 2 amazing little kids. I want to be able to play and run(!) with my kids. I want my babies to be proud of me.

I want to be proud of myself. 

I WILL be proud of myself!!
