Boy, this is a subject, isn’t it?

I need to lose weight. 15 pounds to be exact. 15 pounds to feel like myself again and not a frumpy old woman.

So I have started a weight loss journey that I am documenting in a separate blog from this one, still on this website. I encourage you to follow along. It is to hold myself accountable.

Losing weight is not a quick process. My goal is to lose 1/2 pound per week and at the rate I am going, I will have accomplished this goal by September 6, 2024.

If you lose weight the wrong way, it won’t stick. You must have patience.

Losing weight starts with changing your eating habits. It’s simple. Don’t eat crap is step one. Just don’t.

We all have willpower, we make a conscious choice whether to listen to it or not. That voice in your head likes procrastinating. Just one more bite, just one more day.

STOP IT.

Just stop procrastinating.

Go all in. This is for you. No one else but you.

Once you set your mind to changing how you eat, you can start exercising.

Now, I am not an instructor or nutritionist, none of the above in any way. I am doing this weight loss journey on my own, with the help of YouTube and years of past…
