Day 1

So today is December 6th, 2011. Today is the first day for the rest of my life. I have a big problem that I just cant seem to get over. I am addicted to food. I just love it, I can eat and eat and eat all day long. I am well aware that I need to curb my eating. I have always been over weight. I look at pictures of skinny guys and wish that is what I looked like, but then along comes something good to eat and I put the skinny guy out of my mind and just stuff my face. I am sick and tried of living this life. The thought of weight loss is always on my mind but I still don't do anything about it. So today I'm starting this blog and my goal is to try and post weekly. Hopefully writing will help me cope with this addiction. Today I started out pretty good with a bowl of Special K for breakfast. I kind of lost it for lunch, I had a small bowl of red chile pork and beans with cream cheese and corn tortilla chips. It was a small serving about the size that I should be eating. After this meal I had a very small ice cream bar and a package of four peanut butter crackers. Around 2 o'clock I had a double cheese burger from McDonalds. I vow today to stop eating french fries, ramen noodles and most processed foods. I also have found myself eating out alot. Last year at this time I was weighing around 186 pounds. Today I weight 210 pounds and there is not a whole lot of muscle. My target weight is around 180 pounds. I stand 6 foot 2 inches so that should be about right. Tonight I'm tempted with dinner that my sisters friend is making at my house and then a blind date that my secretary is setting me up on at the local Mexican food restaurant. I also like to drink so that's not helping my gut our either. I have a long road ahead of me that I must embark upon. This could be life or death. Wish me luck!
