Here at last….
Well after a good 12 months of procrastination I have taken my first step in my big challenge - weight loss. This process of blogging my progress is my first step in what should be an interesting challenge.
Over the next couple of days and weeks I will go through the process of creating my plan, taking my vital stats (weight etc.) and starting to do something about my weight problem. The scariest part is going to be sharing it with you, people I don’t know and scarier still people I do know.
Besides being as open and honest as I can about my progress and my wins and losses (hopefully not too many), I would also like to comment on any new or old research about weight loss and apply them to myself when applicable. Whenever possible I will give explanations to what I am doing and why I am doing it. One of the reasons that I am putting myself through this process (making my challenge public) is my cynical attitude to people who have never had a weight problem lecturing, writing and studying fat people while never really understanding what we are going through. I am hoping my background as a naturopath and herbalist as well as extensive experience being fat will give me the insight and knowledge to get me through this challenge and beyond.
So to everyone out there…welcome and I hope you enjoy the journey!
