Today is the day.

Long time lurker here. Went from 340 to 250 about a decade ago. Now back at 300.

A lot of my reading for habit forming has suggested to make outward commitments to others. You fine folks here on r/loseit seem like a great place to start. I’ve tried to get back into the groove of things in the past but always privately and on my own. Perhaps putting my thoughts on paper will be the catalyst I need.

Whenever I get bored or feel down, I eat and / or drink. Not an uncommon situation I know. Both undeniably provide temporary relief in a big way. Few things are more fun than great food and plentiful drinks with good company.

Today is Thanksgiving. My family has gets together, eats way too much food, and pounds drinks. Would it be fun to do it yet again? Absolutely. But then how will I feel when I wake up? Shitty. Disappointed with myself. Frustrated. And fat. The downward spiral continues.

It’s time to think ahead and put a plan into place to model and mold the life I want to live. Sacrifice the temporary rush of happiness for long term overall health and progress.

Will dropping a few pounds make me instantly happy? Probably not. But it’s worth a shot and may perhaps move me in the right direction.

Today, I’ll be eating in moderation. Today, I’ll be passing on the drinks. Today, I’ll be lifting some weights and crushing some cardio. Today is the day.

Happy Thanksgiving to my USA counterparts. Happy Thursday to the rest of the world!
