The Beginning

Duo Wins. 

Well, that's the plan. 

And by win, I mean lose. 

There was time when I was really skinny. I was like 113 pounds and the same height I am now, once. I'm 5'1", by the way. I'm short. That is going to make it much harder to pass as a man. It's a good thing I really want to be an anime character, though with normal eyes *smiles*.

So this awesome contest isn't starting yet. It doesn't start till July 5th, but really I've started about five thousand times over years and years. 

I've probably tried every diet ever published in English, and then some. 

I know how many calories there are in the foods I chose to eat. I know how many calories I'm not burning as I sit here at my computer typing books all the time. 

I lost the most weight recently when my best friend was dieting with me. I had this crazy plan that we'd dress up as Heero and Duo for Sakura con! I imagined being this awesomely sexy person. I lost like maybe ten pounds. 

I worked really hard at it.

Being 5'1" and 233 pounds as of this morning... ten pounds was helpful.

When I quiet Verizon I was 275... Being 233 is fantastically better than 275. I don't have heartburn all the time anymore. I can almost sleep on my stomach. The not having heartburn is really important. 

I'd also like to not get diabetes. I'd like to be able to buy health insurance if I get enough income going on. I got turned down the last time I applied. 

This post is maybe a little disjointed, but it's here.  Joining Romance's Biggest Winners is going to be where I find the support and courage to turn my life around. This blog is going to be my therapist.. kinda, anyway. 

I'm going to live as vibrantly as I can! 

If you hang out with me on this journey! Thank you!
