Beginnings

Chad and I have started this weight loss - get healthy program and have been doing it since mid-April.  I will go into more detail about the actual program as time goes on.  Chad has his own blog that details a bit more about the nuts and bolts of what we are doing together.  My blog is to keep track of the emotional side and the challenges of a couple trying to lose weight and get healthy together.  In some repects it's made things 100% easier and in other respects it's like living with a mirror that can talk back to you.  I cannot hide the things I don't like about myself.  I cannot give up because I have someone more important than me whose success will only come with me being successful as well.  My goal in keeping this blog is to forge a path for other couples who are hoping to face a challenge head on together.  I hope at some point, when all is said and done, and Chad and I are pleased with where we are at, we can write a book documenting what it is like to not only lose weight, but to reimagine yourself as someone else, while staying true to yourself and the person you love most.
