*sigh*

I am having to suck it up and accept the fact that I have let myself get fat. I am no longer a little overweight, somewhat plump, or slightly chubby. I am FAT.
What makes it worse is that its all my fault. I've tried blaming it on kids and a hysterectomy but the truth is my youngest is 5 now and my hysterectomy was 2 years ago.
I have not been working out and I've been scarfing down anything that didn't contain animal products - regardless of the calories.
As a result I got up this morning and could not button the last pair of pants I own that fit.
So I guess I'm going to have to get off my fat butt, start using some of the exercise equipment/DVDs I've bought, start drinking more water, and watching how much I eat.
I'm only 5' 3" and carrying around this extra weight is hard on me - especially on my knees.
My goal is to lose as much as I can (in a healthy way) by my 33rd birthday which is March 30, 2009.

I can do this. I know I can. Its just a matter of putting down the smoothies and picking up the water bottle and taking a walk instead of a nap.
