A Strange Way to Begin

So I've been pondering trying to lose weight as my goal for 2008. I've been fat my whole life, but I've never seriously tried it. You know those people who say they've tried everything and nothing works? Well I am not one of those people. I have lived as hedonistically as possible since forever, and each year I seem to add one more bad habit. Well, I'm 23, and I'm sick of it. I need my private life to match the level of responsibility and health that my public life has. I need to get it together.

Today wasn't really about starting a weight loss plan, so much as getting all the numbers and research together so that I will be able to start: I started a Fit Day account and tracked my activities and calories for the day. I researched healthy eating plans, though I'm not sure what my actual plan of action will be.

Goal for tomorrow: 2000 calories. Buy a bathroom scale.
