the truth is hideous

Renee has been very honest about her weight over on her blog. I will be honest, too. Even though the truth is frightening and ugly.

I don't own a scale, so when I weigh myself, I have to haul my fat ass onto the very public scale in the lobby of my local Publix. It can be humiliating if people are around, so I don't do it often. But I will try to do so once a month. I take my measurements more regularly, though, so I'll have to start journaling them on here.

On Saturday, November 5th, I weighed in at 237.

That is unbelievable. I don't think I look like what 237 should look like.

Tonight, I weighed myself again. I weighed in at 233.

I'm down 4 pounds in just over 5 weeks. I'll take it. Especially since I haven't really been trying, just ever so slightly increasing my exercising.

I'm trying to get my thinking turned around, and then once the holidays are over, I'm kicking it into top gear.
