The real reason I'm overweight...

Okay so the truth comes out!  It really is less about the foods I eat and more about my lack of commitment/too much going on!  I had every intention of logging all this information last Friday, but alas the weekend and then week got away from me.  So here I am, lunch break on Ash Wednesday, getting ready to reveal my dirty lil secrets (also known as the facts and figures).
Perhaps in my subconscious I wanted to wait and do this on Ash Wednesday for a reason.  I'm not big on giving things up for Lent (although this year I'm saying bon voyage to soda and chocolate), but I do think Lent is the perfect time to work on myself from the inside out.  So this season I am committing to healthier eating and more exercise, but rooted in the hunt for why I am overweight in the first place.  I know I'm an emotional eater, but also a bored eater.  Somewhere deep inside is hidden the answer to why I think food can make me happy, and I know if I search it out the results I have this time around will stand a much better chance of being permanent.
So here they are, the dirty details!
Weight - 221 pounds
Neck - 14"
Chest - 43.5"
Arms - 17.5"
Waist - 43"
Hips - 49.5"
Thighs - 28.5" 
Calves - 17.5"

That will be the last time you see these numbers so high.  It may take a year or more but my goal is to be maintaining 145 pounds by my 30th birthday.  Wish me luck!  I could all the support possible!
