Just had to add one more....

Now that I've lost some weight, I realize just how much better I feel. And I know as I continue, it will only get better. Why do I hate being fat? Because it's painful! Emotionally yeah! But mostly physically painful. I picked up two 15 pound boxes of detergent yesterday and took them upstairs and it dawned on me. Dang....I use to carry around an extra 30+ pounds EVERYDAY! It was hard enough carrying those boxes upstairs...I use to carry it around all day.

Painful. I can't wait to feel even better in the upcoming days, weeks and months.
