Oh Crap What Have I Done!

Did I really do what I think I did, or was it a dream? Nope…I pinched myself REALLY hard and I’m not dreaming. I really posted my weight in a public place for the world to see. What the hell was I thinking? After overcoming the initial terror that I felt last night and even this morning, I calmed myself down and realized that this is for the best. I am a strong person, but this is one thing that has kicked my butt for my entire life. I need this; public accountability. I was so overwhelmed last night by all of the support that I’m receiving. Friends and family alike are reaching out to me. I just started this blog yesterday and already have 2 followers (granted they are my friends, but who cares…its support right?). This is going to be amazing! Not only for me, but maybe I will inspire or touch someone else to do the same thing. My husband looked at me like I was from another planet at first because he knows me and this is not something I normally do. I only share my life with those VERY close to me. My mom asked me last night “what made you decide to do this now” and all I could say to her was “I just had this thought pop in to my head that I needed to do this and I did it”. If that isn’t divine intervention I don’t know what is. I hadn’t even been talking about doing it or thinking about it until that thought randomly came to me. It’s crazy I know, but what can you do? When God speaks, you listen!

I am ready for this and I’m so excited to take all of you along with me. Thank you to everyone for your encouraging words and support. I will do one post a day (with a weight update once per week) so make sure and visit daily (if you can) for an update.

Disclaimer: I am not a funny, witty writer so I can’t always promise that it will be entertaining or even inspiring. I can’t even guarantee that the grammar will always be on target, but I will try. ;-)

As my dear friend Dave always says…Toodles!

Love,

Debbie
