Why and What

So why am I creating a blog? Hmmm...I think there are a couple of reasons. 1.) I have found that I enjoy blogging since starting Daniel's blog http://www.djlloyd.blogspot.com/, it's kind of theraputic. 2.) I am hoping by opening myself up to the world then I will stick to my goals because I have people to account to.
What is this blog all about? I am tired of being stressed out by all the things that I have going on in my life and all the responsibilites that I have. I dream of having an "organized life", "stress free life". In the last few weeks I have come to realize that the only way my dream will come true is if I start making changes and taking control. I decided that I would use this blog as a "journal" so I can look back and see my accomplishments and so I can show others (yes, brag) and maybe even inspire others.
I will also be using this blog as a weight loss journal. I was recently diagnoised with insulin resistance, low HDL, hypertension, and elevated liver enzymes. All these conditions are caused by my obesisty. My BMI (body mass index) is 40, my BMI should be 24. I currently weigh 250, the target weight for a 5 ft, 6 in. female is 140. I need to loose 100 pounds and decrease my BMI by half. I know most women don't share their weight but I am serious about loosing weight and becoming healthy and if that means I need to let the whole world know how fat I am then that is someting I will do. I hope that my readers will cheer me on and encourage me during this journey. It's not going to be easy but I have goals in life that I want to reach. 1.) I want to see Daniel grow up., 2.) I want to have another baby., 3.) I want to shop in the "skinny section" of clothes stores.
Now that I have answered the why and what question...Welcome to my blog and my life.
