Help! I've Eaten and I Can't Get Up!

Ahem.

I have a thing about my weight. You might have noticed me mention it once, or twice, or maybe even a third time. Yeah, so it's sorta like that. Like that I am good at whining about it but not good at doing anything about it. I tell myself if I had the proper motivation it would be a piece of cake. Because apparently being healthy, living longer, my upcoming wedding, swimsuit season... yeah none of those are big contenders in the motivational category. At least not when it comes to lasting. (Sigh) What is a girl to do?

So I have been thinking about this. What would be a good motivator? What jump starts someone into getting healthy and losing weight? I am sure it is different for everyone. I know it is. And when it comes down to it, for me, it is the fact that going at it alone just doesn't work. I need a buddy, a confidant, someone I can turn to for support. At least that is what I tell myself. But really what I think I mean is I need someone to hold me resposible, accountable, and to kick my ass when I am not delivering the results. Or to praise me when I am.

Which gave me an idea!

I know lots of people who are struggling with this as well. We can hold each other accountable! We can celebrate our success and redirect our slip-ups, and do this whole weight loss thing, get healthy, together! PERFECT! So I have decided that each week on my FB page I will put in my status for the world (ok, my 337 friends... so almost the whole world) to see my current lbs. to be lost and my progress from the previous week. So, for example, this week's status will read +30. Hopefully next week will read +27, -3. And you guys can cheer me on and post with me and it will be fun and healthy and awesome! Yay. And yes I really do need to lose 30 lbs, trust me I will still be WELL within my healthy weight range, so shut it.

So that is my idea. Day 1 starts tomorrow, people, so support me! Kthanx.
