What this blog will be about

Right now I intend to focus this blog primarily on my current quest to lose weight. I am not, however, intending to use this simply as a log of what I eat each day and how long I exercised each day. I've already been doing that on paper and my Excel spreadsheet. Besides, on the Jenny Craig program, what I eat each day would start seeming repetitive after about three weeks. So I probably won't talk about what I eat each day unless I had to deal with a specific challenge like eating out. I'm more likely to log my exercise as a boost to my self-esteem, but I may not log in every day.

I also am not interested in touting the benefits of one type of diet over another, i.e., lowfat vs. low-carb, though I might share why I believe the current diet I'm on works for me.

My prime interest in keeping the blog, however, is to share some of my emotions along the "journey back down the scale." And in doing so I may discuss issues that have previously been roadblocks to maintaining a healthy weight, such as my methods of self-sabotage and the reasons I so sabotage myself.

And I will, of course, try to give periodic updates of my progress down the scale, and even some of the bumps.
