"It starts tomorrow" is no good... It starts -now-
15 years ago
Well, throughout my life I've battled to lose weight... I know there are other people out there who have the same problem.
And I know that 'the same problem' isn't just the weight... It's the willpower to do something about it and stick with it.
Well, today I realised that my half assed efforts weren't paying off...
Sure, I cycle to work... Sure, I do tai chi on mondays, but it's not enough.
I've been here before, I've started before and something usually trips me up... In the past four years, that something has been college. Well, last week I finished my last exams...
One more project to hand in, and that's that. College is, basically, out of the way.
So, I have my evenings back again... Time to get in shape.
The plan was to start today, but we had guests over... They only left an hour or two ago.
"I'll start tomorrow." I caught myself thinking.
... "I'll start tomorrow." is a dangerous thought... It's basically saying "I'll delay starting."
No. Putting things off is bad. Delaying is bad.
It starts... NOW.
As I type this, I'm hot, sweaty, flabby and tired... But it feels good...
No more junk food... Smaller dinners... When it comes to desserts and stuff, just say no.
Not tomorrow... Today.
Why am I posting?
Well, I know I'm gonna have trouble sticking to this. Perhaps other people out there think the same about themselves...
"I'm fat, I'm out of shape, I need to take control. I'll start exercise tomorrow, I'll start a diet next week."
Well, if you're still in it this far... Just spare a thought for a moment...
"It starts now."
Thank you for reading, if you wanna join in, feel free... It'd make me smile if you wish me luck.

And I'm joining in. I'll have a kitchen, soon. Be so nice to make simple meals that I know I can lose weight with. Football once a week, exercises every day... I can do it, too.
Still :) I'm horrendously unfit... I can survive an hours run and not be stiff afterwards :o I just need to find a way to drop some tonnage :)
