My legs hurt

We have gone for walks that last couple of days. On Sunday I walked 1.5 miles! This is far for me honestly. I am not someone who likes to walk, but I forced myself. Get this though. Monday I walked 3 miles! I about keeled over let me tell you. I had fun doing it to. I saw some very cute Black Squirrel's. They were so fluffy and shiny. I'm not use to seeing them that color. When we lived in Kentucky the squirrel's were gray and scrawny looking, and when we lived in Indiana they were plump little red heads. Oh and did I forgot to say that I walked yesterday also? Well I did and I walked another 3 miles. Woohoo! That means I have walked 7.5 miles in 3 days. That's a record for me. I think next week I am going to try for 5 miles a day. :) See effort here huh?

I didn't walk today due to a severe migraine I woke up with at 7AM. I'm not doing to hot today, and I'm just feeling all around icky. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I have been watching my portion sizes the last couple of days also. Last night I made Chicken Chili and had one bowl with homemade corn bread. It was yummy and everything was healthy choices that went in.

You know what's funny? I know how to make myself healthy, cooking wise. I love veggies of almost every kind, chicken, most fish, lean meats, vegetarian meals, fruit. Hell I can cook anything. My problem is that it takes energy to prepare all this healthy stuff. Since I sit 99% of the time there is none. I am going to try and change this one day at a time.

I have thought about Gastric Bypass, but I don't want to mess my body up with that kind of surgery. If I could never do this on my own the Lap Band is something I would think about doing. I have also wished I was personable enough to try out for the Biggest Loser. My dream would be to go on there. I think that would the ultimate challenge for me and I think that I could honestly win.
But until I make up my mind whether or not I am going to attempt to send in an entry I will try this on my own. I want to live my life now.

I'm a Fat Girl get me out of here!

Hi I'm Linda. Welcome to my online journal. As you can tell from my title I am a Fat Girl. OH...MY...GOODNESS! I have admitted to being FAT to the whole Internet. Well to at least those that are reading this, that is if anyone is still here. Hello? Are you still there? Ok Moving on.

I have a huge problem in my life and it very sad to say but it's Me. I have sabotaged my life with food. I have let it take over my every waking moment and I am ready to stop my mind from obsessing about eating. I believe I have a eating disorder. No I know I have an eating disorder!

From the time I get up I think about what I am going to eat for the day. I plan my dinner before I even get out of bed in the morning. I skip breakfast pretty much every day which I know is a big No, No but honestly I don't care. When I do eat breakfast it's a lot. My average breakfast consist of a 4 egg omelet with melted butter, lots of cheese, and usually a tomato and Canadian Bacon or Turkey Bacon. Lunch is usually leftovers from the evening before that is enough to feed at least 3+ people. Dinner is usually my largest meal. I will eat 2 Turkey Burgers with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and spicy mustard, 3 to 4 servings of baked Fries, and a nice big pop to wash it all down with.

I have been large my whole life and I get so tired of being lazy. I make so many excuses and just put off anything to do with exercise. I have come to the point where I don't look at myself at all. I hate everything about what I look like. This is why I have to change. I want to love my self. I want to be proud and hold my head up when I walk outside. I want to be able eat because it fuels my body, not because I'm bored.

This blog will be about everything in me. I want to put all my feelings and thoughts out there and not be afraid of censorship. I am changing my life today forever.
