D45: For love of self...

Valentine's Day is here, but I cannot see you. My eyes scan the horizon, hungry for any sign of you. But nothing emerges. Except my own dissatifaction with a particular manifestation of my corporeal being. I have lost the form I love. I've been living large in the wrong way. My daily caloric consumption is out of all balance with my needs. These habits have left me with 30-35 pounds of needless mass. They are hiding a body I love and enjoy. It's time to cast them off. And so, on this day, I'm back to Weight Watchers. I'm getting back on a plan that I had great success with in 2005. Ironically, it will be just under 3 years since I last successfully embarked upon this journey. I've made noncommital promises over the last year or so to do this. But they lacked the force of will to bear fruit. Today is different. Today, I'm committed. With clothes, I weight about 185. Without, I'm just a bit over 180. In the end, I'll be stopping somewhere between 145 and 150 - unless I add a significant amout of muscle mass over the next few months (since muscle weights more than fat). I look forward to reporting my success over the next few months...
