So where is everybody? How was your weekend? What are you up to this week?

I'm here. Weekend was blase, but nice to relax together with my guy. Doing a lot to think this week, deciding why I'm on this path, what I'm actually trying to achieve, and whether I'm worth fighting for this, because right now, I'm not acting like it. I'm full of excuses and procrastination, and self-sabotage and self-torture, without really giving much effort, so as I can always say, "Well, if I'd only tried xyz, I know that would have made a huge difference..." therefore if there are always more things you can try, you didn't really fail.
I've realized this morning, than I am an addict, I am a food junkie, and I am a fake - I've always go great ideas, but I'm gaining wait through laziness, procrastination, and gluttony... So, I'm trying to decide if right now I'm at a place to get right with myself, or if I'm going to float off down The Nile in Egypt....
Hugs to all,

My weekend was very busy. I did get out on the trails though so it was worth it rushing through some other parts. I finally bought a pair of jeans that fit me. Apparently they made a difference in my appearance because my son couldn't find me in the store even though he walked past me five times and didn't recognize me from behind.
I am not sure how to take this but someone asked my son last week if I was sick. I have lost weight. I have some loose skin on my chin but I don't think in any way that I look like I have a serious illness. I am in what could possibly be the best shape of my adult life. Kind of hurts my feelings that people don't think I could be doing this on my own and that it must be cancer or some such thing. I need to learn to tune out others.0 -
I found four 3 to 4 week old kittens over the weekend so I was bottle feeding them until I could find someone to foster them. They have kept me busy. So not much exercise. On the plus side, not much time to eat either.....
I think I finally have a home for them.
The scale finally fell below were I was the Friday before Labor Day. I was glad to see it move because I haven't been happy with my food choices or exercise lately. I need to get re-energized. I've come so far and I need to make sure I don't just stop before I'm done.0 -
Awww, baby kittens are so cute! Good of you to take care of them. Hope their new home works out.
I was walking today and I had a moment of clarity that I wanted to share. I've always had a hard time with labels, and people using them to describe others, when it comes to differences. For example, with kids "He's ADHD" or "She's Asperger's" instead of "He has ADHD" or "She has Asperger's". It's such a huge difference to me, and separates the person from the condition.
Take that one step further, and consider this: "She's fat" compared to "She HAS fat". Wow. That's not as bad. I'm NOT fat. I am not defined by the extra weight I carry around. I have extra fat. More extra fat than I'd like, but *I'm* not fat.
Next time someone says that to me, and one of my friends has a super obnoxious child who likes to say such things, I think I'll respond "No, I'm not fat. I'm a person. I have fat, as well as skin, bones, hair, blood all the same as you."
Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :P0 -
A busy weekend but I was finely able to get back on the bike after a week of no activity. Frankly it felt like I had to be dragged out of the house to get back on after my time away but within half a mile I was in love again.0

Weekend was good. Went shopping at Vanity Fair (Reading outlets) on Friday.Saturday I relaxed and went to Ikea...love Ikea and their ideas for rooms.....Sunday I just ran some errands and spent time with my best frend.
On a different note, I go see the bariatric Doc on Wednesday at 1pm. I'm so super excited. I am hoping I can have a revision from the sleeve to gastric bypass. I had the sleeve 02/2012. Lost 60, gained back 10 and then stopped losing. I feel like I am in a fight for my life.
