Day 16……Doing okay, but still not happy…

I have been doing ok for the past month, losing between 1 and 3 pounds a week, but it’s not making me happy like it should be.  I’m at the point where I want to be able to look in the mirror and be able to see myself as thinner but thats just not happening yet. Even though the number on the scale keeps going down, so I know I’m losing weight, I just don’t feel as though I’m doing good. I know it’s all in my head, but it still stresses me out.  I wish there was a magic pill I could take and magically I would be skinny and happy. I know that will never happen, so I will continue doing what I have been doing and lose it slow and steady. Hopefully I will be able to see some changes soon though.

NO MORE EXCUSES!!!

I’m doing this, no more excuses! No more binging or irrational eating because it only makes me feel bad about myself afterwards! This year will be my year and for once I’m not just saying that! I will make the necessary changes, I’m going to get to my healthy weight! I dont care if I’m going to have to sweat like a pig or cut back on junk food, no more hating on my body and filling it with all this crap! I’m going to treat myself right and teach myself healthy habits, my weight isn’t going to hold me back anymore!!!

Day 9…….Still going!!

Day 9 of this journey and I’m actually still at it!  Had my weekly weight loss meeting tonight and lost another 2 lbs……and I’m actually still going pretty strong!  I’ve been drinking lots of water and actually added some exercise into my life (3 out of 7 days isn’t too bad to start right?) I want this so bad, and Im determined to actually stick to it this time no matter what!!! Good luck to everyone as you continue on your journey and thanks for reading!!

Day 1…..Again!!!

So after a major screw up that lasted 5 days, I’m back on track. Hopefully I can stay on track!  My final calories for today were 1315.  I didn’t get any exercise though.  I figure, I will try to get the eating somewhat under control and then I will strart incorperating exercise in. That was it won’t be too much all at once.  If I try to do too much, I end up failing myself and then I backslide.  Well, time to try to get some sleep. Good luck to all for the week ahead.

Help!!!!

I try and try and try to lose weight, but it never seems to happen.  I will start dieting and do really well but then something happens.  I’ll get into a fight with my husband, or something sad or stressful will happen, or there will be something to celebrate, anything really and I give in to temptation. I start eating and don’t stop and I can’t seem to get back on track. I want so badly to lose this weight.  And I dont want to lose it for anyone but me.  My husband loves me the way I am, he’s always telling me that I ddon’e need to lose any weight. But I do, I need to lose it.  I am so unhappy in my own body.  I’m depressed and don’t want to do the things I used to love.  I look in the mirror and I see this huge lump of fat and I just want to crawl in bed and sleep until I wake from this nightmare.  I want to wake up to the skinny girl that I want to be comforting me and telling me that its okay, that the fat girl was just a dream.  I don’t know what to do, how can I stop this fat girl from making me so unhappy?  How can I beat my addiction to food so that I can finally be free to be happy?  I just want to lose this fat  and I’m willing to do anything to do it, but I can’t stop sabotaging my attempts to become who I want to be.  I want to be able to play with my kids, to take them out and play soccer (their favorite sport) with them, and not always be on the sidelines watching because I’m too fat to join them because I get too winded to run more than a few steps.  If anyone has any advice, I would love to hear it.  Any dieting tips, or motivation, or whatever, anything that might help me beat this.  People are always saying how sad it is when someone gets cancer, and I agree it is sad and I wish that someone would find a cure.  But what people dont realize, is that obesity is a horrible disease too.  They look at us and say look at that fat girl, or why doesn’t she get off her butt and do something about it, or the cow needs to put down the food.  But it’s not that easy, this is a disease, an addiction, and we try to do something about it.  No one wants to be the fat girl.  We don’t do this to ourselves on purpose.  We too need a ribbon, some magic cure to stop obesity.  We need help, this is not something we can do on our own.  Sorry for going off like that, but its how I feel, and I need the help and support of anyone willing to give it, and I’m here to lend support to others.  Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to add me.

Food For Thought…..

Pick any two, you can’t have the third………….

1.  Eat what you want

2.  Be lazy

3.  Be thin

…………………Don’t know about the rest or you, but I only want one of these.

And I Begin Again………..

So I started my diet once again last week and my weigh-in day is Tuesday, being I attend a weightloss support group on this day. Wouldn’t you know it, they decided to cancel it lastnight, I was soooo mad because I look to this group to hold me responcible for food and exercise decisions. And also because I did really good!  According to my home scale I lost 6.2lbs this week…yay!!!  Anyway, Just thought I’d blog about it since I didn’t get to go to my weekly meeting. I am also going to try blog more often and to keep you all updated on my progress. Thanks for reading!

blech…

So, I actually started dieting (again) last week on the 4th…..it’s a never ending struggle…..I’m at my highest weight ever….I want so badly to lose the weight but it just never seems to happen.  I can’t actually say that I dieted though, I wanted to, it just never works out the way I want it to.  I plan to eat right and exercise, but it’s so unbelieveably hard for me.  I know it’s hard for everyone, but i’m in kinda a whine about my lack of progress mood ( sorry)….I have a new husband, and 5 kids ( a ten year old boy and a six year old girl that i gave birth to, and an 8 year old girl and a set of 5 year old twins, boy and girl, that my husband has from a previous marriage) and they all live with us full time.  I’m sorry to whine, I just needed to vent a little…and I really need some people to help me stay motivated…please feel free to add me if you are willing to befriend me and we can help each other stay motivated on this horrible battle

Finally some good motivation? we will see

So this is my first time blogging, here goes- so I think I finally have some good motivation. Last week my bf asked me to marry him! I said yes- Im getting married! Now I am determined to get to goal by the wedding
