I’ve decided to start writing about trying to lose weight and getting motivated again. The blogspot version of Road to Ambition was good to me, way back when, but I need a fresh start. No skeletons, no nothing. This is me. This is now.

I went to see a nutritionist a few weeks ago and I weighed 231.6 lbs. Ten days later, I weighed in again (after, admittedly, not doing much of anything) and I was .4 lbs higher and exactly 100 lbs heavier than one of my favourite people.

It’s not about them, though, it’s about me.

I need to get my weight under control and down to a level that no longer puts my health at risk. I need to stay motivated and focus on eating well and exercising more. I need a place to write about my struggle with all of this and I know from experience that sharing it out here can be a very good thing. Blogging has helped to motivate me in other areas of my life (and it’s helped with this one in the past, to a point), so why not now?

All signs point to yes. It’s time to try again.
