I went to the doctor 5/2009 to get physical therapy for a stiff right hip and weighed in at 278.3. I also had pictures taken as a presenter at a scholarship award ceremony. ICK! I've been overweight for a long time and have reached my limit. I want my body to be different. I am tired of how I feel and look. The number on the scale and how my clothes fit bugs me. I want my body to closely match my happy, energetic, helpful personality.

I already eat fairly well and make continuous improvement in my food choices. I don't snack, so that's not something I have to overcome. I need and want to be more physical to increase my stamina (I can sustain 3 mph walking for 20 min), strength, and flexibility.

I was going to Curves for 5 years up to Aug 2008. I felt like I was just punching the workout clock (there, I showed up and went around the circuit 2x, done). Then, I switched to strictly walking 30 min 3x (give or take) per week. In the last year, I've tried to do it on my own, but it's not enough. I worry about overexerting myself and causing harm. I get easily discouraged when I'm consistently eating well and exercising, but there's no physical change.

I know that I will have to work hard to change the way my body works and looks. If I see results from what I do, that will give me encouragement.
