I have a tendency to be a bit bossy at times. One does not become the Pope of one's own religion without a bit of pushiness. I will even go so far as to freely admit that I am a bit of a control freak.
There is one arena, however, in which I have almost no control - and that is food. I have always had a big appetite; my mother tells of beginning to add baby cereal to my bottle when I was just a few weeks old so that I would stop crying for food every 90 minutes. Being an athlete in school only made it larger, and once I stopped being so physical on a daily basis, it never really went back down. Sure, I'm a vegetarian so I have some control where meat is concerned, but denying myself meat seems to give me carte blanche to eat a lot of other stuff in unhealthy quantities.
Over my adult years I've ranged from extremely fit to very heavy. At the moment, I fall more into the category of "stocky." My build has also been called "husky," "sturdy," "solid," and "imposing." I have no illusions; those are all nice ways to say "fat."
I have decided that it is time to take control of this. Naturally, that means I have started a blog about it...
It's called 100 Pounds and it's more for me than for you all. It's already got a few posts on it. I don't really want advice, or suggestions, or applause, or encouragement; I just want witnesses. It's actually just my way of blackmailing myself into sticking with the plan. Thanks in advance for your scrutiny.

Good for you :) That's all the encouragement you're going to get out of me. I'm all done. Both sweetness and light have been packed and stored.
Witness we shall.
Hey, I use a nifty site called
skinnyr.com to help blackmail myself. You have to put in your stats and then it creates a graph for you to track weight loss with.
I sometimes feel guilty when I skip adding my weight for the week...so I'm guessing that means it works.
Good luck!
