Goal Setting

They say it's easier to lose weight if you write out your plan and/or write out everything you eat.  Going to do both with this blog.  If I succeed, maybe it will give a reader who happens upon this blog inspriation to do the same.  If not, well, it will give me an idea of what doesn't work so I can try something different next time.

I'm not obese.  I am overweight though.  I'm currently 180 lbs.  I've got a good sized gut and you can see the weight in my face.  I'd like to weight 160 lbs or less.  You would think that just losing 20 pounds would be easy.  But unfortunately, I'm a creature of habit who also has a well established sugar addiction.  Hard to stay away from the junk food.

Why do I want to diet?  Many reasons:

• More energy
• Feel better
• Look better
• Live longer
• Break sugar addiction
• Save money - junk food is expensive.
