It’s probably no coincidence that I’m starting on one big goal of mine for the past 10 years on the dawn of a new decade.

I’m tired of being somewhere between 240-250 lbs. It’s not a healthy weight for me. I’m also tired of the heartburn and acid reflux that come with the vast majority of foods that I eat. I’ve come to dread eating large portions of rich foods. Somewhere between 180 and 200 is where I see myself as healthy.

Some inspiration came watching the most recent episode of Good Eats (starring the food uber-geek Alton Brown). The guy lost 50 lbs over 6 months by just cutting out the vast majority of crap, leaving in a few pleasures here and there. It’s not dieting (which I for one believe is a big fucking dangerous joke). It’s changing your lifestyle to better match what your body needs.

We’ll see how it goes. I’m not setting this as a “resolution”, but rather as part of my motto for the year. The part that says “Make it happen.”
