Plus Size Barbies - Week 1

I figured out what Im gonna do to save myself from gorging on Easter- Im gonna WORK! I know, its ridiculous, but after having anxiety all week about how I was going to resist temptation, I decided that I just couldnt even take that chance right now! So, our huge (and very overweight, unhealthy, and outta shape) extended family is getting together for an Easter egg hunt at 2p- and fiesting afterwards- but instead of staying, Im heading to work at 3! Im just gonna smile and wave as I drive away from the temptation, and breath a sign of relief! Not to mention make a little extra money while Im at it. Maybe for a new outfit?

Well Barbies,

It's going to be so hard this weekend because Easter dinner is at my house this year, and I am making everything. UGH. I am trying my hardest to be down 5 lbs this week, since I was up 3 lbs, and I wanted to lose 2 lbs every week. So I am in double trouble. I am eating well, and drinking soooooooooooooooo much darn water but it worries me about this cooking and baking. I have a very large family, 7 brothers, 2 sisters (yes, when you put a mexican and hillbilly together, you make 10 kids and we become MexiBillys!) :huh: , 27 nieces and nephews. So you already know, family holidays are important in this family! My focus this weekend, will be to TRY and stay away from the desserts. You know how some people say just have a small bite, but for someone like me, I CANT just have one bite so I might as well have none, for my own good!!!! :laugh: I know still have to really make myself eat a small portion, because I am not even going to lie and tell you that I will not eat my food. :bigsmile: I just have to make sure that this holiday is not like the rest, where I eat until I can't move. The week has been so good for me, and I am soooooooooooooo not wanting to screw up, that's for sure. I will weigh in on Saturdays, because that was the original plan for the group, and it works better for me to do it that morning.

I will say, it's so nice to see all you lovely women joining the Plus Size Barbies~ :flowerforyou: I think together, we can do this for sure. Do you want to know when I came up with the name Plus Size Barbie? I was about 16 years old, and this boy said I was pretty but a little chubby, so I told him "don't hate me because I am a Plus Size Barbie!" Every since then, I have always said it as a joke to people. Since all my friends are Fluffy, we all use it. lol My other favorite quote is :blushing: "I will make you feel like a virgin all over again!" Shhhhh, don't tell my hubby that I told you that one. :blushing:

well i only lost .2 lbs. does that even count??!! lol! im down to 207.8. ive been slackin big time the past few weeks. its the eating, not the exercising. i think that if i wasnt exercising daily then id already be back to 230 again. i had pizza and chocolate again today. ugh! why cant i control myself around pizza??? damnit!!!!! i need to quit going to my mom n dads house. thats where the pizza and candy was. its junk food heaven over there! that explains why im fat and why i was the fat kid growing up. i just moved out about 15 months ago. i go there 2 x a week to take the kids there when i work. i have NO control when im there.....i dont understand it! i even took a healthy meal with me, but when i saw that pizza there was no turning back!!! i don't feel so bad being that im still exercising tho. i just gotta take control of my eating habits. i didnt set a goal for this week. my next goal is to be between 195 and 199 by mothers day. thats 5 weeks i think. this is do-able, so lets see if i can do it......wish me luck!!!!!!
