regarding my weight 1 week ago

I have hit a turning point. I know I have said this countless times before but I cannot go on on this trajectory of steady increase in weight. I do not like how I look and feel at this weight. I am inspired by my aunt who has lost 50 lbs and looks awesome (she is 68 yo and does not have cancer, HIV, any systemic illness to cause weight loss). I really think it is going to have to be like alcohol, one day at a time, one minute at a time.
I will be updating this goal regularly. I put it here rather than under any of the fitness headings because weight has a lot to do with how I feel about myself. I want to be more disciplined about my weight. This comes in part from my father who criticized my aunt for being overweight, and he also called her lazy.
I think there are 2 similar things here. One is how I feel about my weight = disappointed in myself. Two is how I feel about myself = frustrated and disappointed. I want to be able to love myself but I have a hard time doing this when I am constantly disappointing myself regarding the weight.
Come on please lets do something positive.
