A new step forward

I am not sure why I clicked on the link to this today but it is something I started thinking about last night when glanced at myself in the mirror and the first thing that came to mind was "Blob."  No, don't get me wrong.  I am not wallowing in self pity - yet!  However, that's how I see myself at this point.  I have spent almost half of my life as an overweight adult.  For many years I did nothing.  A few years ago, I did something about it and lost about 20 pounds.  Unfortunately, I needed to lose more and should have stuck with my game plan but I slipped and alas here I am, not quite at the weight I was at before the 20 pound loss but creeping closer and closer to it. 

Do I have a game plan?  Well, sort of.  I plan to do sensible things which I already know but aren't disciplined enough to follow - not snacking so much, drinking more water, not eating after 8 pm, not skipping breakfast, eating smaller portions, eating healthier, etc.  Yes, I've read it all, tried most of it, and yet here I am still.  I have no one to blame by myself.  My family members and friends have been nothing but supportive.

So, how will a blog help me?  Again, I don't know if it will but I hope that having to write things down will force me to think about what I am doing to my weight and health.
