The beginning

Today my brother called me and told me that he had something to say and that it could ruin my day.  I knew exactly what he was going to say...I'm fat and I need to lose weight and take care of myself.  That was his point, but he said it in a way that really made me think.  He said that he's so proud of me and that he brags to all his friends about how smart and successful his sister is, but he knows I'm not happy.  He asked me why I wouldn't put as much effort into myself as I do with everything else in my life.  He said, "what is the excuse?". I told him that I take care of everyone else first and not myself.  He made me promise that I would change that today and I did.  So, because I can't do it on my own, I need to talk about my journey.  It's not going to happen overnight, but I'm going to be consistent in my efforts.  Today was the last day that I put others before myself.  Tomorrow is a new day and I'm ready to being my journey to a better, healthier, skinnier me.
