200

I guess I should give some background to help my readers understand this dire situation of losing weight.

I have two older sisters who are beautiful, skinny, and smart.

Need I say more?

I don't think that I'm ugly. And I do not think that I am obese (but I may be fooling myself on that one). But I have always lived in the shadows of my sisters' beauty. I'm not the pretty one, because no one can see past my eight. I'm not the smart one, because they are smarter. I'm not the athletic one, because I am the least athletic one in the family. I'm not the accomplished one because I cannot get a job for the life of me. No...I'm just The Fat Little Sister.

Now, I don't mean for this to be a pity party. I have some serious self confidence issues, I know that. But I have promised myself that I will be completely honest at all times. And right now, I'm feeling bad for myself.

So, in 200 DAYS (aaahhhh!!!!) one of my beautiful, skinny, smart sisters in marrying her beautiful, muscular, handy fiance. At this wedding, there will be many people I would like to impress, such as 1) my extended family, 2) my future brother-in-law's attractive friends (including, firefighters, football players, and many other marriage material types), and 3) many strangers.

Now, I have ZERO wish to take anything away from my sister that day, and believe me, even if I lost a million pounds, she would still outshine me. But this is a goal that I REALLY want, and I would love if FINALLY, after 24 years of being The Fat Little Sister, I was just The Little Sister.

That being said...I ate well yesterday, and so far so good today. Let's hope I can keep it up!!!
