My Blog is all black. Does it make me look thinner?

Welcome to Fat Tuesday!
I'm a 38 year old mom of two, who needs to make a major lifestyle change. I currently weigh 269 pounds and have the health problems of a woman twice my age. I've decided to use the upcoming season of Lent to jump start this change. Do you want to join me? (I've never been really independent so I'd love the company)

Ages ago a traditional Lenten fast consisted of giving up butter, flour and sugar. This is why in so many cultural traditions doughnuts, pancakes, etc. are a part of "Fat Tuesday". Their plan was to get rid of those ingredients to not have them around during Lent. My plan is to eliminate these items from my diet during the Lenten season and update my progress every Tuesday during Lent. I may post at other times but Tuesday is a definite.

I am going to skip the preparation of doughnuts and spend this week getting prepared for my fast. My stats: Weight 269, BP 146/100, Blood glucose 232. I have met with my doctor and she supports this plan. If you are joining me please be under medical supervision. This is not a weight loss plan. This blog is one day at a time, one pound at a time, inch by inch, step by step, one woman's journey to life change. This will be a time for me to reflect and be held accountable for my lifestyle change.
