Weight: 324

I've been keeping records since February 11th of this year. On that day I weighed 343 pounds. In something less than two and a half months, I've lost 19 pounds.

Maybe that's not so bad.

I just need to keep it up. It's difficult to be hungry so much of the time, especially at home, and it's difficult to try to feed my son and have him eat things that will add too many calories to my intake for that day, but I just need to remember why I'm doing this.

I'm doing this for me, so I can watch my son turn into an adult, to see how he takes on life, and to be able to him when he needs help. I'm doing this for me, so that I can find a life partner, someone with whom I can share all the things I love and who wants to share the things she loves with me. I'm doing this for me, so that I can go swimming and not be embarrassed. I'm doing this for me, because there is so much I have left that I want to do in my life that I'll need another thirty or forty years just to get it all done.

I'm doing it for me and I've got 124 pounds to go.
