Made my pants fit again
A pair of pants that have been to small forever...fit for a second..then became way to big. Would not sit on my waist at all. So today I thought why not move the button over. The idea worked and now I have another pair of pants for work again. These pants also keep me motivated. I don't want to have to move the button back.

Lactose intolerant -- TMI
Thursday I had a fish sandwich from Mcdonalds. I took off the cheese because I know I can't eat it. But left the tartar sauce on. Friday morning: tummy cramps, diarreha and vomiting. That is the only thing I can think that caused that. I normally eat a yogurt and I am fine. Only lasted about 1 hour. Friday: 1/2 serving of…

Any vegetable you feel is a waste to eat?
I am having lunch and I made some corn. As I was making it, I was thinking such a useless veggie. I am trying to use up all the food we have here. So I am eating it. I would so rather have some green beans. Not a great nutritional value is what I mean by waste!

Anyone else get "stuck" at a number and start gaining.
In the past whenever I have lost weight. I get to 209 and then I start gaining. I think it is because all the attention starts to make me nervous. Men don't bother the fat girl. Well at least not this fat girl. Right now I am at 235 so I have some time before I hit the "magic" number. I am hoping I just breeze past it and…

Amazing NSV at least to me.
So yesterday I went to visit the man. I don't see him often due to travel distance. So I had told him about me losing weight and working out. Oh he is all for this. LOL Not that he ever said anything about the weight. I can honestly say he never made me feel uncomfortable about my weight. So I kept telling him I was going…

I won't make my goal by my Dr. appt. Tuesday...
I set a goal last month to weigh 236 by the time I hit the Dr. office on Tuesday. I really don't think I am going to make it. I am right now at 239.6. I would have to lose over 3.5 pounds to get there. For me the goal was obtainable! It was not over the top. I really did believe that I could do it. But you know what I am…

Started this journey on April 3, 2013 and I am down....
27 pounds. Okay fine 27.4 (Yep I am so claiming that .4) I am out of the 240's. This all began when I went to the Doctor for hot flashes. I told her I am 45 years old and WAY to young for that crap to begin. Of course we all know I really am not. While I was there, I broke down. I am tired of dealing with the weight. I am…

Did my first boot camp class yesterday....
and I am sore! And I am LOVING that fact that I am sore. Not so sore I can't move but sore enough to know that I did some good work yesterday. I was really scared to go to this class. Cause the last time I saw a trainer like this.. I could barely move for 3 days after I hurt so bad. I know when I work out..soreness is to…

I am ready to Crack!
I have posted a few times that my bff of 20 years has colon cancer. We are at the end now and it is just a waiting game for God to take her home. I was so lucky to see her the other day. I think we both needed that visit. I don't know if it was the last visit but I told her how much I loved her and kissed her on the cheek.…

Motivating talk to myself
These past few days have been rough. I am dealing with a lot of issues right now. None that I have control over. I have dealing with the stress by going to the gym. While I am there when I get that moment that I just want to quit, lay on the floor and cry (from all the stress). I start telling myself things.... I say to…

There are not many pictures of me in the last few years. Way to heavy to let a camera near me. But looking to make copies of a picture for my SO. I found a picture of us with my BFF and her son. HOLY COW I am HUGE in this picture. I can't even believe how round I am in this picture. It is dated 9/2011. So this and a…

How about you shut up about what I am eating!
I am all for people looking at my diary and telling me where I am doing good and where I am doing bad. I appreciate that feedback and the more detailed the better. However I do not appreciate when someone makes comments about what I am eating and they are eating crap! For example: I am cutting up pineapple and I hear ... I…

6 week Goal
Today I am starting boot camp classes. I will be going 3 to 4 days a week. I came home and tried on a few items of clothing that are a tad to small. Meaning another 20 pounds and they should be good to go. I don't expect to lose 20 pounds in six weeks. But I do expect to firm up a bit. Which may be just enough to make it…

How is your support system?
My support system is strange. People in my life: MOM: Although she believes that her negativity is support. For example: I tell I lost 10 pounds and her reply is well how much more do you have to go? I personally do not find those comments to be helpful. I go to a gym that takes me about 30 min. or more depending on the…
