Summer's here . . . and so is the extra weight.

I started this blog so that I could vent about my drama with my best friend, but then I decided that this is the perfect opportunity to discuss my progress/regression in weight loss.
If you don't already know, the last time I weighed myself I weighed a whopping 302 lbs. Over the summer I am hoping to slim down as much as I can without causing harm to my health. My goal is that by this time next year I will be a healthy 150-175 lbs.
So far my efforts have not been enough. I have the intention in my head to eat healthy and exercise, because that is the equation for weight loss, but when I go to put it into action, it doesn't work out. I eat constantly and don't exercise (although I have a gym membership). When I'm eating, I tell myself "There is always tomorrow to eat better," but tomorrow turns into a week which turns into a month which in turn turns into months and soon years. I feel that I am not working hard enough. I know that I can do it but it is hard. For some, dropping the pounds is wicked easy but, unfortunately, for me it is one of the hardest things I have had to do in my life.
I have decided to continue with a food diary and get exercise wherever I can get it.
Well I am all done venting but I will keep everyone posted. Good-bye for now! :)
