Being Realistic...
What does this mean? Right now, it means I have to accept the fact that there is a long road ahead of me. I have a minimum 100 pounds to lose. 148 pounds to get back to where I was when I quit smoking. Quitting smoking is just a marker, not the entire reason I gained so much weight. I gained the weight cause I ate too much. I got lazy.

My body is now my focus. My health is now my focus.
I consider how long ago 1999 was. Thinking it was going to be the biggest party of our lifetimes to hit the year 2000. Then 2005 came. Then 2010.
