When I first started dating Tommy, we were both 125 pounds. Of course, that was 10 years ago, and even then I thought I could afford to lose five or ten pounds. When we got home from our holiday travels, which included visiting families, big turkey dinners, and lots of cookies, we both weighed in at 145 pounds.
Now, this may sound very insensitive and politically incorrect, but often times when I see people who have gotten obese, I think to myself "wasn't there a point when they looked in the mirror or couldn't button their pants and they realized that they were fat? Why didn't they do something about it then?" Tommy and I both reached that point two weeks ago, and we committed to starting our diet and eventually a permanent change in our eating habits.
There's great news so far. Fourteen days ago, I was at 145, and this morning the scale read 137.6. I'm pretty happy with almost seven and a half pounds down in two weeks.
