A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE...AND I AM STICKING TO IT!

Yesterday I started to write my first entry for my blog but I wasn't able to type in until today. 

Today (11 Jan 12) I have decided a couple of things.  First, I have decided that enough is enough, I am tired of being FAT!  Yes I said the "F" word but let's not kid ourselves anymore.   We can think of a million nice ways to say it but it is what it is.  I personally need to hear it because I don't like it and that makes me want to do something about it.  When someone tells me "you're just fluffy" or "a little over weight", it only makes me think for a minute how I should probablly exercise more or eat better or even stop having desserts....ya right!  So I have determined that I need to hear the dreaded "F" word.  It makes me think of dramatic ways to improve myself.  So today I have decided to put it in writing, making it official.  I WILL GET THIN & HEALTHY!

Thanks to the inspiration I am getting from reading the blog "Runs for Cookies", I have ordered my "Glocket" (Goal+Locket) from Katie's website and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival.  I am all reved up thanks to Katie's blog.  Her life story is similiar to mine, I have always had weight issues and at my biggest I was a 24-26, just like her (she was a 24).  Now she is a size 4 and I so want to be like her.  If she can do it, so can I.  Therefore, I am reinstating what a coworker and I call "OPHOT" (Operation Hotness).  We have OPHOT meetings regularly to keep us focused and motivated but we haven't had one in a while (like over a year).  We work with all men so when we say we are going to an OPHOT meeting, they have no idea what that means, at least we don't t hink they do.  LOL!  Look out world, I am gonna amaze you!

Now for my second decision.  For years people have told me to keep a journal, that it helps with weight loss and I have absolutely refused.  I have finally decided that I'll give it a shot, I mean, what do I have to lose? 

And last but not least, I have decided to take Katie's lead and keep a running total number of days I go without binging. 

Now, with positive aspirations, I will make it OFFICIAL and say that today "is" my first official binge free day!  Thanks again to Katie, you have no idea what an inspiration you are!
