hello, i’m a fatso, and i’m addicted to food and lazy

I have decided to start this website to create a public accountability for my weight loss actions. Since my initial attemt at following the weight watchers points system (where i lost 40 pounds in 3 months with no exercise outside of walking to class), i have completed about 2 full weeks following weight watchers without cheating. That was 4 years ago. I suck. I’m fat. I’m addicted to food. I’m addicted to being lazy and not doing anything about it. It needs to stop. I need to start fitting back into all my pants. My extra-large shirts need to stop getting tighter.

I’m officially starting tomorrow. I plan on keeping you updated to my weight (at least weekly) and work outs on my daytum.com profile. When I update those, I’ll let you know here in the “big fat updates” category. I’ll also let you know when (I mean if) I cheat on following the weight watchers points system. It’s a fancy way to count calories, and I get 30 points/day with 35 extra “flex” points/week. The one rule I’m implementing with my wife Linnea, is that we don’t count on Tuesdays (Bible study dinner) and deduct 5 of our flex points. I’ll also be posting some about my experience, how I’m dealing with the public accountability, etc. in the “big fat thoughts” category.

Please feel free to offer your support. I’m also hosting this myself, so if there is an interest by some more fatsos I can set you up as contributors, get you your own fatso email, set up a mailing list, etc., so let me know if you’re interested. I’m thinking a forum would be a nice touch too.
