  I am in a weight loss challenge right now at work.  The game is to see who can lose the most weight in a 60 day period. And boy do I have my work cut out for me.

I joined the challenge on Saturday by weighing in. And I was horrified when I stepped on the scale. I tipped the scales at a whopping 214.5 lbs. Eeeks it hurts just to type that. I have not been this heavy since I was pregnant with my daughter, and that was three years ago. And I want to win this challenge so bad I can taste it. But I have some obstacles to over come before I can cross the finish line as a winner.

The biggest obstacle for me is my eating habits.  And the sad thing is that I don’t know how to overcome it. I have discovered that I like to eat for comfort. It soothes my frazzled nerves after a long day at work. And it fills a void left by a marriage that is less than ideal. So, if it does all those things for me, how can I turn my back on my source of comort? Where do I begin to make the necessary changes if I find it to be such a source of comfort? Well the answer my friends, is that one way or another I have to find a way. I have to find a substitute to fill that void and to soothe my tired body.

And I realize that I have to start slowly. By avoiding my daily habit of noshing away mindlessly on snacks while on the computer or watching TV. And to get off of my lazy butt and start moving more. Sounds simple enough doesn’t it? Well I hope I can beat back my demons and win.
