The Will must find a way!

So it has come time to finally get ahold of my lifestyle. I've been putting off bettering myself for entirely too long. I am 27 and almost 200 lbs. I just got married a week ago and you would have thought that I would have come to my senses before the wedding, but i just had a lack of commitment. It's so easy to say I'm going to be dedicated, I'm going to make time and I'm going to finally take charge of my life. It's an entirely different thing to actually do those things. Every time I have attempted weight loss and lifestyle change in the past I have let myself down. I start trying to eat healthy and out of nowhere, I start craving sweets. I don't even like sweets that much! I really hate to compare my diet to that of a drug addiction, but honestly, to me it sort of is. I need to force myself through withdrawal for about 2 weeks and then I'm sure the road will get a little easier. I just have to stop making excuses and blaming my condition on the bad influences around me, my work schedule, etc. I know I sit in front of the TV for hours at a time. Those are hours that I could be dedicating to lead a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy working out. I feel so proud of myself after a really good workout, it boggles my mind why I don't apply myself to feel that joy, it seems so easy. I'm starting fresh on Monday. The first day after my 27th birthday. Wish me luck.
