Losing weight...

Well I never thought I'd be posting about how to lose weight. I have always been overweight and in fact, I am totally fine with this. I don't stand in front of the mirror and pick my body apart. It is what it is. But the baby belly has got to go. My hugest problem with myself is that I have a ring*donut ring* around my belly button. It sits exactly in the same area that my many stretch marks are from both pregnancies. I weighed more before I had my babies than now, but was thinner then. My jiggly belly wasn't so jelly.
I am very scared to set goals in losing weight. I take my own words seriously and I hate the thought of failure. Ideally I want to lose 35 lbs before October when we go to Disney World. BUT, I LOVE FOOD. I mean, I LOVE food. I love beer, I love pop, I love desserts. I am not a picky eater. I will eat any healthy meal you put in front of me. But to not have fries for 4 months is a hard pill to swallow.
So here I am... this is it! I am diving in head first hoping for the best of my psychological battle. I want to lose weight and I have to have the strength to tell myself no. (I am hearing a whisper in the back of my head saying *well maybe not "no", maybe just one bite of something BAD) BAH!
I've recently watched Jillian Micaels' new show 'Losing It'. Highly motivational. First episode was 2 nights ago and was SO good and shows how determination will make you lose weight.
I am not getting a gym membership. Maybe if I had loads of money, but I am not sacrificing the things I have now to go to the gym. So I am going to have to find strength to do it at home. YIKES!
