to start to fail to start again

ive started many new ways of eating ... ive been sucessful in the past
and lost lots of weight and then over the course of a few years i slip
back to gaining it all back on ... a mix of being greedy and comfort
eater and a lazy git are my reasons

im probably close to my heaviest ever now .... somewhere in the 340
pound region, i dont know for certain as i havet weighed myself for a
few months but thats probably a fair estimate

i will be making my new year resolutions as many will, they a-

a. get healthy
b. get fit
c. enjoy life now

theres been so many times when ive said, when im fit i'll be happy, when
im slim i'll be happy, when ive lost the weight i'll do this and that
and life will be fine and fun and enjoyable ... it never happens, the
circle of start diet, fail and binge grabs hold of me and for the last
few years ive let it have its way with me.

well, im planning to break the grip it has on me ... im planning to
start living, to go out and do things, to just get on with life and let
the day to experiences mold me into what i want me to be

yes, i want to be slimmer, i want to be healthier and i want to be
fitter but thinking about it doesnt do it, getting off my ass is how it
will happen and thats the only way it will happen

i love exercise - i just have a major problem in motivation and am
terrible with routine but i will grit my teeth and push on through the
routine blues and just go to the gym, go walking or go swimming or
whatever i need to do to just stop being what i am today, which is
someone who is hiding from life, pretending to live but just hiding away
at home whilst everyone around me actually has a life, if i dont start
now one day i'll look back and think what a shame it was that i didnt
have the grit, the determination to grasp hold of something i wanted so
badly, yet let slip through my fingers .... i wont have that, i want a
life and im not going to continue hiding from mine

i wont wait until new year, im going out to get one of these life things
... and im going now

wish me luck, i certainly wish you luck

You certainly have the right attitude to be successful in losing the weight.
What changes are you making in your diet and exercise?
Hope to see you posting often. I'm looking forward to following your
progress.
