Putting it ALL out there!

I'm starting this blog because today I start my new diet. I am a Samoan woman who, like many others, is currently obese. I suffer (really? victim already. lol) from Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension (for those of you that don't know what that means, High Blood Pressure) or as I like to call it...I'm a WORRYWART! I hella worry and stress myself out about things that probably don't really need that much overthinking!

 Anyways, the Medifast pamphlet said I should keep a "food journal". The fat person inside of me thought it was a journal to keep of all the food I wish I was eating instead of the Medifast food. heehee This morning I was off to a good start though. I woke up at 6:30, got my son ready for school, sent him out the door, and then ate Medifast's Mixed Berry Cereal Crunch. I did what the pamphlet told me to do, which is basically slow down and chew your food really good. It reminds me of that movie Madagascar, when the penguins feed Alex and tell him to chew...SAVOR IT!

So I weighed in and I am ...drumroll please! Hella big! All right! It's a hard thing putting yourself out there into the internet universe, but wth. My big self weighs 252.6 lbs. Yup, you heard it right folks. I am ginourmous. Moving on! I am more then willing to put myself out there because I love reading inspirational things to motivate me. I am not saying I will be that motivator or inspiration for somebody else, but if some one just reads this blog and cracks the most minute smile..then I would have done my job. I will tell you more about myself later because I don't really know you yet and you are already reading my fat blog. 9:30 is my next snack and maybe I will write later. Who knows? When you have 5 kids that love attention, it's kinda hard to give your attention some where else.

All I know is, I feel good. I hope it is not a hard day for me as far as being tempted. And I pray that I don't kill anybody. I haven't been on a strict diet like this before, but I felt like I was out of control with "trying" to lose weight. I am naturally athletic *at least that's what I tell myself* I mean, I love sports, I love physical activity.I also loved eating, so one started to out"weigh" the other. *pun intended* I will post pictures of my voluptious *nice word for chubbs* self next time. I was trying to think of a cool way to exit, but one thing I'm sure you have gathered about me just by reading this blog...I'm a dork. Peace out. <<<too 90's. I will think of a better logging out term. How about  Logging out? Log Out? Logs...logs on a label...logs in the country...country crock butter. Oh man, it's gonna be a long day. No food versions of Six degrees of Kevin Bacon...bacon...Mmmmm...lol Bye

Ps- This made me laugh! It's a portrait of Kevin Bacon made entirely out of bacon. haha
