Reasons

I am doing Whole 30 to clear my body of all the cravings it has as well as restart my metabolism. I have been overweight about 2 years now and need to reverse it. I recently watched a documentary about how weight affects your health and something scarred more more than ever. It mentioned quick weight gain and the adverse affects it has on your body. When I quit smoking I was about 140lbs. I now weigh 212. I am not doing this for the number on the scale but to feel better. I will most likely never weigh myself again. I just want to feel better.

I currently have the below issues
sore back when walking or standing
cant bend over
cant kneel down without serious effort to get back up
hernia's in my stomach.
wheezing
snoring
low self esteem, embarrassed to see people I haven't seen for a long time.
tired all the time
don't enjoy Oregon for what it has to offer

I also drink way to much, way too often. This will help kick start my "On the Wagon" life :)

I will journal daily with what I ate and how I felt. Also a photo of my face each day... just to see what the outcome looks like.
