My First Day

Hi everyone. Welcome to my blog. I'm completely new at this. Not at trying to lose weight, but at blogging about it. We've all tried to lose weight, haven't we? There's nothing new about that. But, since I can't get my act together, since I can't seem to find any motivation to even get started, and since my ass seems to be getting out of control, I figured I'd write about my weight loss hell, I mean journey, and see how it goes. So, here I am. Yeah, what fun! Not.

Anyway, as I said in my profile, I'm a 40 year old mother of three. I'm 5'8 and I now weigh 182 lbs. It's the heaviest I've ever been (other than when I was pregnant, of course.) Some of you are now saying, "Hey. You're not chubby. You're fat." Well, forgive me for trying to make myself feel better by calling myself chubby. If you want to call yourself fat, do so. I prefer chubby. Maybe you could go with pleasantly plump. Or big-boned. Or big butt. Me? I'm gonna stick with chubby.

So, why am I chubby in a good way? I stole that phrase from my oldest daughter. Ever since she could talk, she's been telling me I'm chubby in a good way. It kind of goes like this..."Mommy, I love you." Then I say, "I love you too." Then she hugs me, looks at me with those big blue eyes, and says, "You're chubby in a good way." I think she means I'm huggable. Maybe she means I'm fat.

Anyway, today it begins. I will start my weight loss journey, and I will bring you along for the ride. I'm going to be funny. I'm going to be stupid. I'm going to be frustrated and sad. I'm going to be happy. But most importantly, I'm going to be honest. Maybe brutally so.

I'm going to try to post something every day. So, please tune in tomorrow. Feel free to leave comments. Until then, I'm going to keep being chubby in a good way.
