Starting out

This blog may not be pretty. In fact, I really don't expect it to be. I'd almost prefer that it's not....that it's never read by anyone other than me. This, in fact, is meant to be nothing more than a tool. A tool for myself...to discover those things about myself that I can't seem to uncover any other way.

This is about my health....and yes, my weight is a huge part of that. But this is also about so much more than just my health. My physical health, at least. I want to be able to use this blog as a tool to teach myself about myself....in order to find out exactly what makes me tick.

So...I've started this up, just in time for a fresh start in a fresh, new year. This year, I expect to be the absolute best year of my life. My goal is to blog every day, even if it's completely insignificant....and to catalogue my habits. What I eat (no matter how revolting or embarrassing), what I do in terms of movement (or the lack thereof), and most importantly, what my thought processes are behind all this. I want to find out my motivations....my rationale that effects every single action or non-action that I take.

I want accountability. Not to others....to myself. And there's no way, other than hitting the 'delete' key, that I can get away from the glaring, sometimes ugly truth that can not fail to unveil itself here....provided that I display complete honesty.

And honesty, I hereby solemnly pledge to give.
