The First Day of the Rest of My Life

Today I am beginning a new path toward my lifetime weight loss goal. Today I weigh 220.8 lbs. I never thought that I would weigh that much in my entire life. I entered college in 2001 at 155lbs. I was content with my weight and my life as a college freshman. This is my "before."

Depressed. Ill-contented. Disillusioned.

Faith brings me to a point that yearns for an "after."

Confident. Hopeful. Renewed.

This journey begins after many false starts. I have declared my readiness. I am prepared for this journey. My goal is 150lbs. That means I have 70lbs to lose. My time line is indefinite. My motto is "Just keep swimming." Pray for me.
