episode 001: first post!

I think I'm going to make my diet blog here. I can post here from work, which is when I have most of my ideas, anyway.

Anyway, back in 2012, on March 5th, I started dieting for real. In seven months, I'd lost 100 lbs! I was doing great. But then there was Christmas and I never really got my momentum back from that. I lost a few pounds, but I would keep yo-yoing because I couldn't maintain it. Then the summer of 2012 was here and I became obsessed with a certain anime that's over 600 episodes (*cough* One Piece) and I just lost my mind. For a few weeks my life was just eating and watching that show. Almost all day, every day. Then school started (I'm a teacher's assistant at an elementary school, and I could have recovered from that HUGE set back, but my heart wasn't in it.

But I'm back on the wagon. I started again for realsies on January 13th, 2014, and I already feel so much better! I don't know why I waited so long to get back on the horse. I'd very nearly regained everything, I had to go back to the few fat pants that I had saved, I even had to buy a few more at Wal-Mart, which I loathe to do. I was so happy being able to easily find my sizes on the rack. I was back at the hunting game again.

Whatever. Spilled milk. I'm back in a big way. I've already lost at least six pounds (i don't know if I messed up the first day or if I'm misremembering my start weight. But I'm certain that I've gone from 362 to 356. I love the wooshes you get when you first start. Very motivating.
