I saw this title “Spring Hill Named Third Skinniest City in Nation” and had some thoughts. First, who did they contact (obviously they didn’t contact me). Second, why don’t I fit into that study? That’s one I can answer.
I like food. Sometimes I like it too much. Pizza, ribs, non fat-free types of food are my favs. Why cook at home when you can drive through Sonic or Burger King? During the summer, I was the chef for the kids. Our kids like to eat mac n cheese, pizza, anything fried, and clumps of junk food. So since Memorial Day, I have gained close to 12 lbs. For someone who was already overweight since college, it just added more on.
I think I know why it all happened. I was depressed. Simply put, the summer slump at church was already hitting, we had a faithful family at church move away, and finances at home were getting very tight. Simply put, I lost focus and got depressed. During the last 2 weeks of July that focus returned and now I’m more determined than ever to get to my healthy weight. No longer am I going to allow food to be a crutch during tough times!!!!
My goal is to lose 20 lbs by October and then nail that last 10 by December 6. I guess you can say I’m wierd because most people wait and do that as a New Year’s Resolution. Frankly, there’s not a reason for me to wait that long. Between now and October, I have to lose 2.2 lbs each week. That’s the first section of my journey. I’ve already knocked out the first 2.5 lbs last week. Just a little more to go.
BTW, check out Perry’s posts about weight loss (here and here). Thanks Perry for the inspiration!
