It's Cooling Off Some

I got out of the hospital in July of 2006 and I started a diet. I tried to change my lifestyle instead of just starting a diet because if you don’t change everything as soon as you slow down on the diet you start to gain it all back. I lost about 60 pounds before I started to slip back to the old ways. I’ve gained back a lot of the weight and I keep telling myself that I need to get motivated to do it again. I don’t want to start exercising to much in the beginning because adding muscle gets confusing with the loss of weight because muscle weighs more than fat so my plan will be the same as last time, lose the weight gradually changing eating habits instead of just doing away with all of the bad food all at once. Work on quantities then gradually switch to quality of food then add an exercise regimen. Then maybe I can get back to my fighting weight and become more mobile. I’d like to get out into the woods some this Fall and Winter and do some hunting and camping. I always feel more alive doing that than anything else.
