Okay.
So we all know it.
I'm a quitter.
I've always been a quitter.
But here's the thing -
I don't want to quit anymore.
I would like to know, instead, what it's like to win.
So, tonight I am sitting in my room, my cat tipping her head wondering what I'm doing, as I shove Ricola throat lozenges into my seriously sore throat.
And I wonder to myself - what makes me think this time will be any different?
I am so afraid that six months from now I will be writing another starting post - and I just don't want to be. . .
Here's what I do know:
1. There is a plethora of reasons that I need to lose weight - starting with all of the health reasons, and circling right around to the heart reason. There's this guy that I like, but he doesn't SEE me that way. I want to give him another perspective - and I've banned myself from contacting him until I'm 190 pounds. It's hard. But having him not see me is hard too. And I just want to be able to walk into any store and look for clothes I like instead of wondering if they'll have my size. . . .
2. Every person who has ever lost weight at some point made up their mind that their goal was worth the sacrifice. This is me experimenting with this concept.
So here's the question:
How much weight could I lose by Christmas if I did two things without quitting :
1. Eat Vegan
2. Eat Only When I'm Hungry
Let's find out . . .
