I'm on the weight loss trail right now. When I was in high school, I lettered in track and cross-country. I used to spend 4 hours a day, 4 days a week in the gym. I was a little overweight, but I was fit.
Then I started my web business, and things went south, literally! LOL This past spring, I found myself almost 200lbs. overweight and tired of being tired and out of breath and unhealthy.
2 months ago, I got food poisoning really bad. I had it coming out both ends! Within a day, there was nothing left in my intestines. I subsisted on jello and chicken noodle soup for the following 3 days. I dropped 10 lbs. that week and figured that since my stomach was empty and smaller, that it was a good way to kick-start my weight loss.
I've lost 26 lbs. in the past 2 months. I figure that I can probably drop the rest of it within another 12 months. It's all a matter of the moment-to-moment. The first 3 weeks were the hardest. I've been used to eating high-carb food. I had to start eating balanced smaller meals. Over time, I've noticed that I've started thinking different about food.
It's been a hard road so far, but it's getting easier as I go.
