Hey internet

My name is Cypress, and I'm fat.  I'm 26, and I'm fat.  5 foot 7, 290 pounds, fat.  Just diagnosed as prediabetic, fat.

Why am I fat?  Why is anyone fat?  Because I've been stupid, and haven't taken care of myself.  Because I've been delusional.  Because I've not cared about my own health.

That's what this blog, Project Rebirth, is all about.  I'm going to use it to chronicle my attempt at fixing my body and mind, fixing my life.  I'll post photos of my progress, talk about what I'm eating, and probably a few posts that aren't intrinsically related to my weight loss.

I hope you are willing to bear with me while I do this, and whoever reads this, if you have any advice or personal experiences, leave a comment.

Below I'll post my first pictures, where I stand now.  Not for the faint of heart.
