Profile

About Me:: This is probably the 4 or 5th time for me to rewrite my profile- but I'm getting ready to start going to WW meetings for the 4th or 5th time so it's fitting. I am 26 years old and I have always struggled with my weight. I was thin from age 14 to 15 and then chubby from 16 to 26. I lost 30 pounds in the time span of October 2007 to February 2008. I felt the best I had in my entire life. I was running 4-5 times a week and just generally feeling really healthy. My goal weight was 145 and I got down to 138. I could wear a size 6.

I began bingeing uncontrollably and quit WW. I started attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings. After two and a half months I stopped those and tried to manage on my own. I did for about a month-- I was leveling out at about 150.

Now the bingeing has come back and I'm tackling this problem before I get back up to 170.

Starting Date: 8/2/2008
Beginning Weight: 154.7
Goal Weight: ********

Weight History:
From age of 8 to 14 I gained ten pounds every year--- so I went from 80 to 90 to 100 etc. Then when I hit 15 I think I was probably still 140 and then 15 1/2 I was 150 and then 16 I was 160 and then 17 170, and then I went up to 180 when I was still 17. Then when I was 18 I was 170 again and the following years I fluctuated between 160 and 170. Then when I was 26 and 170 and engaged I decided to come back to WW.

Here are my WW's book info:
1/23/06: 171.8
1/30/06: 165.6
2/6/06: 165.6
2/13/06: 162.4
2/20/06: 160/8
2/27/06: 165.2
3/6/2006: 166
3/20/2006: 167
3/27/2006: 167.4
4/3/2006: 168.4
4/24/2006: 169.6
5/3/2006: 173.6

So that's from the first time I went to WW- And I'm trying to locate the other two books I have.

My myriad of goals:
1) Be a positive person
2) Be healthy
3) Become a non-binger
4) Be able to run 9 mi.

And I think that's all for now!

Internet is back up!

Hello all my blog-to-lose friends! My internet has been down and I have missed all of you. The last two weeks have been really tough. After my first week of doing well on WW- I took a nose dive after my first weigh in. Then I descended into the black pit of chocolate binging and I paid for it the following Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a migraine that would not go away. I couldn't sleep Thursday or Friday night. Friday night I lay there exhausted from frustration and pain- and I woke up m… Continue

Honesty is the Best Policy?

I have always tried to follow this motto- key word being "tried". So here it goes: A few hours after making my last post I ended up eating a bit too much. I had my beloved chocolate dipped ice cream cone... and then I went out to eat with the hub and I ate okay... but then I had a sno cone with ice cream at the bottom of it. Talk about a sugar heart attack.. Man that thing had a bag of sugar in it I swear! And when I was eating it I was like "Daaaaammmmmnnn, this is good! Sugar is my god! Why do… Continue

Are you there God? It's me, Grace.

Grace: Hi God. How are you doing today? Are you having a nice day? I am having a crappy day. God: Why, my dear child? Grace: Because I am feeling sorry for myself. I went to WW this morning and I have a 5 pound loss so that was good. But then I got into a fight/discussion with the husband and I just feel... sad. And I want to binge really badly. God: I am here for you- just let it all out. Grace: Well, I had to drop him off at work and then I went to Barnes n' Nobles. I wanted to get a cooki… Continue

Temptation Thursday

So today I was just battling the munchies! I've had some relief this week from the Binge Monster breathing down my neck- but today I think she was testing me. I really wanted some ice cream out of the vending machine at my training- but when I went to go get it they were out of it. I used our breaks to walk around the building- and did a few laps during the lunch break. Then when I got home I just really wanted to eat some corn tortillas with salsa. So I did and it wasnt as good as I wanted it… Continue

Wonderful Wednesday!

Today I had more teacher training and it was a slight beat down. But I got through it! They let us out at 3:30 so that was very nice. I had a great breakfast and went to Subway for lunch and ate sensibly there. Now I'm home, I'm tired and I was thinking about cinnamon rolls all day. But I am not going to have one. I had two rice cakes and I'm full from that. What I really want to do is take a nap but oftentimes my naps turn into comas... so I am thinking I'll stay awake. I have choir practice… Continue

I am getting up early tomorrow to walk with my friend Michelle, and maybe her neighbor, then off to the gym for the hard workout. I've had an earache all week and felt tired so I just didn't do it!! Ear is starting to get better so hopefully this coming week will be a good one!!

I think the nearest wet place is 45 minutes away other than a few private clubs. We used to make wines. The first one that we made tasted like strawberry faygo lol.
