blog post the first

I'm starting this blog for a few reasons. Let's take a look!

Reason the First: I just like to talk about fat. My fat, other people's fat, the fact of being fat in general. It's on my mind a lot. Probably too often, but what can you do?Start a blog, of course! A little corner of the interweb where I can blather on for post after post about being fat and trying not to be so fat anymore.

Reason the Second: I am instant gratification kind of girl. When I decide that I want something, I want it righthehellnow.. This is a problem in many aspects of life, but none moreso than in weight loss. It's a process. A long, slow-moving process. You can't see the weight come off ounce by ounce. You work and you work and it seems like nothing is happening, until one day you look in the mirror and realize that a whole lot has happened. This does not work for me. I get frustrated. I get impatient. I get tired of busting my ass "for no reason." I lose weight slowly, too, which just makes it worse. So this blog will serve as a place to vent, and rant, and bitch, and remind myself of what I'm working toward, and occasionally pat myself on the back.

Reason the Third: I don't really have anyone to talk about this stuff with in real life. I don't have any weight loss buddies. So this blog will sort of fill that need as well. It may not be able to go running with me, but I can come home and be like, "Woo! I went running! Go me!" And I read a lot of weight-related blogs. The community is fabulous. So that's a plus.

Anyway, three is a few, right? I'm planning to start up for real tomorrow, because I'm weird and anal and only like to start things on Mondays. Today I've been watching a marathon of the first season of The Biggest Loser, which I have mixed feelings about, so I'm sure I'll have something to say about that at some point as well.
