Introducing Operation 40, my weight loss quest

There's a lot in the word we can't control. We can't control other people. We can't control how life will place obstacles ahead of us and we can't control the weather.

But, one thing we can control is ourselves. To this point, I give you Operation 40, my journey to lose 40 pounds over the next six months.

This is awful ambitious you may say. I say, yes it is, but then again when you are out to change yourself you have to be ambitious. There are no baby steps here.

Forty pounds is well within the recommended parameters of two pounds per week given to me by my doctor. This is feasible, even after i hit the expected wall soon.

Operation 40 is not just a simple diet plan. In fact, it's less of a diet than a change in the way I am.
