The Journey Begins Anew

The journey begins anew.  Welcome to my blog and incidentally, I don't expect anyone to be reading this, but for the poor schlub at the NSA who is assigned to infiltrating my online life : ) Hi Schlub.

I have just embarked on a new weight loss journey and I feel the need to write about.  Thus, this blog.  It started 7 days ago today.  I cannot believe it.  That went fast! I did it without the usual mental resistance I throw at my weight loss efforts.

I won't bore you with the details, but three years ago I was involved in a major auto accident.  I was on my way to a kickboxing class.  Did I mention I am obsessed with kickboxing?  I have not been able to exercise with that kind of intensity and vigor since that fateful day.  I am in mourning over the loss of the only exercise that ever interested me.

In my recovery, I also lost the ability and will to deny myself food at any time, in any portion and of any type.....mostly junk.  I FEEL AWFUL.  I have gained weight.  I have no idea how much because I am afraid to step on the scale.  My reaction to the accident was to freak out on the inside and cover it up with food.  Three years is enough.
