(from Jenn)
Two thirds of all Americans are overweight or obese. Fat is normal in our society. Dieting is normal in our society. Failing to lose weight and keep it off is normal in our society.
Unfortunately, we are normal.
Like so many Americans, we have been stuck in a vicious cycle of dieting and falling off the wagon for years, and it has left us feeling frustrated, guilty, afraid of failing again, hopeless.
But we've been learning a lot about how our bodies work, what makes us fat, etc., and we are embarking on a sixth-month quest to find a new "normal." We realize it'll probably take longer than six months to break all our bad habits and form new lifelong habits of good health, but this is the first step. We are committed to doing it right this time, and we are taking every step we can think of to ensure success.
Which is why we've started this blog. We believe that publicly proclaiming our goals, our "rules," our progress, and our triumphs will help keep us accountable. Stay tuned for more details than you ever wanted to know about this incredible journey of ours!
