Slapped in my Chubby Face

Sometimes, I look at myself and think "damn. How'd you get to be so overweight?"  I lie to myself most of the time, but the truth is that I've let myself go and haven't eaten well or exercised. I do have a health condition that helps me pack on and keep the pounds, but ultimately, this is my own doing. 

Last night, I had an epiphany. I really can lose weight and get healthy if I choose to.  No one is responsible for me except for me. 

I've lost about 20 pounds or so since January, but that's without really, honest to goodness, working hard at it. If I make health my focus, I should be more successful, right?

My problem is knowing HOW to be healthy. All I know is being unhealthy and unhappy with my body. Guess it's time to do a little thinking and a lot more moving. The rest of my life starts today.
