It is New Year's Eve. Just watched Avatar w/ my hubby (Diet Coke, no popcorn) and went out for lupper (lunch/supper). I had a steak, sweet potato, and green beans. Not exactly the lightest meal, but I figured I could afford it since I was eating 2 meals at once. I know—not off to the greatest start.
We're not going to any parties tonight, so there won't be much temptation to snack. Just going to watch my sister's kids. Her baby sitter got sick at the last minute. I'll probably take some veggie snacks with me, just in case I get the munchies later.
To anyone reading this: Have a safe and Happy New Year!

In the beginning...
Well, my weight has been spiraling out of control—my tummy getting ever bigger every day. I just weighed myself in my undies (to get as low a number as possible)—207.5. I desperately need to do something about it, so I've started this blog to force myself to have some sort of accountability. I figure that if I have to report to somebody (you) at least once a week, I will be more likely to stick to a diet and exercise regimen than I would if I was only reporting to myself.
Today, my hubby and I went to the grocery store and bought all sorts of healthy goodies to snack on—cauliflower, kohlrabi, carrots, grape tomatoes, and bell peppers... I cut up the veggies into bite-size pieces for easier snacking. Not that it's particularly difficult to cut up veggies, but the more convenient it is, the more likely it is that I will stick with it.
I plan on posting pictures of my gigantic belly fairly regularly. I figure that the humiliation of that kind of exposure will be another incentive for me to stick to my diet.
My belly's not just big—it's starting to sag. Not pretty. I might have to start saving some money for surgery. I'm afraid that after I lose the weight, my belly will be hanging like an empty sack. I would feel even worse about my body if I had excess flesh hanging off of it than I do now. If that happens, I would be likely to revert back to my old habits and gain the weight back, hence the desire to save for surgery. I guess we'll see how it goes.
And here it is, as promised: the dreaded tummy
