Obesity Epidemic and the Weigh-In

My hubbs was reading an article recently about how 20 years ago or something a study came out saying that 1 in 10 people would be considered obese.  Everyone scoffed, thinking they were ridiculous.

Now, a similar study has shown that in 10 years, 1 in 10 people would NOT be obese.  And yet, we still haven't learned from our past arrogance!  We are still turning a blind eye to the study and laughing at it.  I, for one, am going to take it seriously.  Yikes.  I do not want to be considered one of those 9 ten years down the road.  I am the one out of the ten right now, but that will change!

Food for thought:  Does Pinterest have anything to do with the rising rate of obesity in our world?  I mean, you can't go half a page without something covered in bacon, chocolate, pounds of cheese, or all three.  Seriously!  I think I gain weight just by 5 minutes of mindless scrolling.

I am still working on the weight loss, and even though this past week wasn't as great as the weeks before, it is still going in the right direction.  I lost 2.6 lbs, so I am now at 271.0 lbs.

I have 1.0 lbs to lose before Friday morning before we leave for our vacation, and I am so nervous I won't make my goal!  As soon as I do, I will post a new picture though to chart my progress in picture form. 

We have a meeting with our personal trainer tonight and hopefully all goes well.   Work hard and stay positive!
