One can hope...

So, here I am again at a tough point in my life.  I am miserable, and I put myself into this position.  No one told me to be inactive and overeat.  I chose too.  I know the tools to make it better, to change.  I have known it for years.  I have done it before, I can do it again.  I had help before, and now I am scared to ask for that help again.  I need to set small goals first.  Here are some things I need to do:

1.  Stick to this for a bare minimum of 28 days.  Why 28 days?  That is a habit forming amount of time. 

2. I HAVE to exercise.  I hate to exercise, hate it.  What do I like?  Walking.  I do like those walking videos.  

3. I need to make the time to exercise.  No excuses.  None.  

4. Portion control.  Limit breads, sweets, dairy, and crap.  More water, veggies, fruit, and protein.  I love beer too. I love to wind down with a cold one (or 5) on Saturdays. 

5. Ask DH for help.  This is the hardest.  We came together 6 years ago and combined lost 130lbs.  Isn't that amazing?  I gained back 50lbs, and I am pretty sure he gained back about 35lbs.  He is in the zone of exercising (however not eating right) and I am just not there at all.  

I am currently at 256lbs.  I am 5'9".  I am in a size 20 pants, and 0-1xl top.  I wear a wide size 10 shoe.   I want to make small attainable goals.
