Oh Dear God . . .!
I took a hiatus from this blog because I was a) depressed, b) overworked, and c) not keeping my priorities straight. The result of not checking in with people? The result of not writing down my food or exercising regularly? In other words, the result?!?
191.6 pounds.
Breaking 190 has been a huge wake up call. No wonder my wedding ring no longer fits. No wonder I now own two pairs of pants that fit--I own a total of about twelve. No wonder I can no longer ride as long, exercise as much, or go up stairs or a hill without becoming breathless. I can blame the accident and work all I want, but the bottom line is that I did this to myself. Therefore, only I can fix it.
I started with some very simple goals. They are:
1. Exercise at Curves 3x a week.
2. Ride at least 2x a week.
3. Practice archery at least 1x a week.
4. Write down what I eat/actually acount Weight Watchers points
Right now, I will be taking this one day a time. When I think about how much I have to lose and how long it may take, I just get overwhelmed.

Don't get overwhelmed. Please. Just try to accept the fact that it might take two years for you to get where you want to be. Fast weight loss/body change is almost always unsustainable. Slow and steady wins the race.
Can I recommend Fit Day software for keeping track of calories consumed and burned? If you are honest with the program it will give you a good idea of how you can change your dietary habits for the better.
You are right that you are the only person who can change this, but you are not alone.
