Up. Down. Static.

That summarizes my quest for weight loss. If I got on a treadmill and ran after it I'd probably succeed, but I hate treadmills, so I'm fat. I hate exercising. HATE IT. Not even with a passion, I don't muster enough emotion for that.

I've recently discovered I do enjoy the way I feel POST exercise. I wonder is someone has figured out a way to bottle that feeling and sell it. I'd be America's Next Inventor if I had a clue as to how to go about it.

My health is (has been) suffering due to my weight and I want to live a long life, there's just too much I want to do before croacking. So I've been trying to replace bad habits with good ones. I've been exercising, I've reduced the amount of alcohol I drink, and I've been paying closer attention to what I eat. But when I read and read and read about all the variables to successfully lose weight, I end up frustrated.

I'm not looking for an easy way out, a pill that will make it all disappear. I know and understand that's not the answer, particularly not in the long run. But I kinda need some clues, a map of some sort, something to point me in the general direction of success.

So I keep reading, and reading, and reading, and looking for the right door.
