in a bit of a rut
So, I don't really know why I'm posting this except that I guess I just need to get it out! I don't talk to my family about it because they think I will break, and I don't want sympathy! I've always had esteem issues, even as a child, then as a teenager I got involved with a mentally, verbally abusive boyfriend. He was my…

FRUSTRATED
I tried a new exercise DVD and I just checked to see if my measurements were any different. NO CHANGE. UGH. I want to do something that works. So far nothing I try seems to make much difference.

It was a slice of lemon poppyseed loaf. It looked delicious so I had a slice. And another and another. I had three slices. I came on…

trying to remind myself...
that I WILL get my butt back on track! I had a crazy fun weekend. My exams were finished and I began my summer vacation on Friday with food and alcohol. Saturday was bad as well, my sister graduated from college and since she's in so many of those over achiever clubs and honors societies and programs, we had to attend…

woot woot
I can't believe it but I was able to do my full workout today...as frickin' lousy as I felt yesterday I didn't think I had it in me! I've been diligent about drinking my water, too...and that seems to be helping "perk me up".

Be proud
THIS is for all the ppl having bad days, thinking that their goal is too far away! wanting to give up.. LEARN TO ACCEPT SELF: The most common reason people lose interest in exercise / dieting is due to unrealistic goals. Some see the images in the media or television and this coveys the message of how we are supposed to…

What's your reward?
We all have health and fitness goals that we are trying to reach. Perhaps even some little goals that take us step by step to reaching that "ultimate goal" that we have set. I think we've all learned that food should not be a reward. ( But sometimes still like to reward a great workout with extra treat...:blushing: ) So…

no more 200's
I weighted myself today and for the first time in 5 years I am below 200. (199.5) Yeah.... Just wanting to share. About 3 weeks ago I wasn't loosing. And It was because I wasn't eating all my extra calories from working out. I started eating more like more fruit, nuts, and reduced fat wheat thins, string cheese and things.…

Dang it!
I have been doing so well....but today a road block! Last night I thought, "Oh, I'll take some spinach salad leftovers from the Mother's Day dinner to school for lunch." Well, I had a duh moment cause when I opened the lid it was all nasty, wilted, and partically frozen! Total wash out. Sad thing I didn't have time to go…

Thanks everyone!
I was struggling to not eat anything before bed (have done my calories for the day) so started reading messages here instead. It's now time for bed, and I no longer want to eat!!! So thanks everyone for the great posts and encouragement you share with everyone. It really makes a difference. I'm still on track and continue…

Downer
So, after 6 months of constant effort to get my life cleanly back on track, i decided I'd speak with the air force recruiter today. Turns out that my body weight/height aren't my real issue... my past drug issues will keep me squarely out of the military. Permanantly. I asked if a notorized polygraph test confirming I've…

Well, I'm coming back to this...
Well, since my last post in early March - I decided to take a couple months and see if I could do the whole weight loss thing without this site. I definitely realized how much this site helps me LOSE the weight. I did very well, and maintained my weight over the past 2 months without recording anything. However, now me AND…

NEW COMMITTMENT AFTER MOTHER'S DAY FOODARAMA
I commit myself anew to healthy eating this morning after a weekend of UGH...... Yummy ugh, but ugh nevertheless as I gained 2 pounds. I told myself I wasn't even going to weigh, because I do know that is counterproductive, but the scale kept calling my name until i couldn't resist it anymore --- I think it was laughing.…

I had a baby in Sept 2007. I delievered my 9lb turkey when I weight 267. I'm currently 211. I'm happy about that. But I didn't really start TRYING to lose weight until my 6 week check up. At that check up I weighed 235.8. So it's basically taken me 6 months to lose 25 pounds!!! It's just so disappoint sometimes when I…

Took a few days off...
Last week I had one of those insane weeks at work, where any sort of taking myself (ie eatting at all, sleep, exercise, dressing in clothes that match, etc) went totally out the window. By friday, I was able to pull it together a little bit, but gave in to a pizza suggestion by the boyfriend so that I wouldn't have to…

It's (back) on!!!
So I decided I was going to have a really great fat-laden, calorie-filled Mother's Day weekend, since it was my first. So I tried really really hard to cheat hardcore. And I couldn't bring myself to eat as much as I wanted to. I kept telling myself to just let go and eat whatever the heck I wanted, but my brain wouldn't…
