The Before I want After




before
11.18.10  Starting over again... again. 

So usually folks post their "before"pictures so that they can remind themselves of what they look like at their worst. I actually have a "fat" picture of myself on my fridge- the hope is that I will look at it and make better choices or just close that open refrigerator door that I mindlessly open when I am bored and want to graze. It hardly ever works.

I am hoping that posting this "before" picture will motivate me and keep me on course. The picture above was me in September of 2007- about 60 lb. lighter. Was doing a dorky body builders pose. I am a little embarrassed about the high cheese quotient in the picture. But I think I am more embarrassed that the "after" of this pic is me now 60 lb. heavier and not very healthy.

Went to the doc and my BP was through the roof.. Have blood work to do.   My stats at this start are abysmal.   Weight 252 !   BP 160/105  at home later it was eventually 134/104 !   Waist 42 !  Im a metabolic syndrome mess.      Need to stay on track.  Start weight watchers again and lose this for good. My goal is 10-15lbs before year end.     Want to be at or around 175-180 lb by October 13, 2011.   Lets go !    I can do this !
