My Journey To Becoming A Loser....
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I Will Be A Loser
In May 2008, I turned the big 4-0. I am not depressed over leaving my 30's, but I was depressed over the fact that I had let my weight get out of control. Everything in my life is just as I had dreamed...I have a wonderful, loving husband, an amazing little girl, and my dream home. My only complaint is that I have let myself go, and had forgotten how to make time for me.
I have battled with my weight since I was a very young child. I remember praying to God to do whatever he had to do to make me skinny. Well, that happened. In 1999, I went from 265 lbs to 120 lbs in just under 3 months, and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Ok, so it wasn't the best way to lose weight, but I revelled in being small for the first time in my life! Ten surgeries later, I found myself in remission, pregnant, and gaining heap-loads of weight. After our daughter was born, I lost some of the weight, but sure enough, it started creeping back on. I was having a hard time adjusting to my new roles, and food was my comfort. I was out of control!!!
On May 28, 2008, I made the conscious decision to become a better wife, mom, and ME by taking control of my health and joining Weight Watchers. This is my journey to becoming a loser.

Ok, I'm back....I swear!
Geesh. I have absolutely no excuses for my lack of Oooomph the past couple of weeks. I just needed a break, I think. Anyway, I'm back on track. I went grocery shopping yesterday, so the cupboards are stocked with good-for-me stuff. I have to apologize to my OLWLB (online weight-loss buddy) Robyn. I kinda left ya high and dry, but I'm back, girl! I had been thinking about switching from WW Meetings to WW Online because time and money are going to be in short supply now through the holidays. What… Continue

I'm gaining
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY??? Well, I do know, but yet I don't. After my gain last week, I recommitted myself, and for some reason, it didn't sink in with me. So, I did what I swore I wouldn't do, and skipped my WI this week. I think I needed a short hiatus. I've been living OP for the past 17 weeks...religiously counting points and exercising. I'm wearing clothes 2 sizes smaller than I was. I'm feeling better. All of this combined makes me *feel* like I have won my battle. I haven't, and I know that.… Continue

Getting ready for FALL!!
It makes me sooooooooo happy to finally see the leaves starting to change and have the cooler evenings to enjoy. Fall is our favorite time of the year. We love it so much that we chose to get married in the fall. Totally not planned, but DD was born in the fall. We do more together in the fall. We just seem happier at this time of the year. Today, DH is outside removing the 293847985 billion plants and flowers that the previous owners had planted in the yard. Don't get me wrong, I love foliage,… Continue

I can........
I just read Roni's blog What do you want them to know where she asked for comments to the question "What is the one thing you wish your parents, your significant other, siblings, or your friends understood about your body image issues?" My heart broke as I read comment after comment. There were several letters written, and many comments. All of which got me to reflecting..... Growing up overweight I can… Continue

Week 17 Weigh In
Ok, so I completely blew it last week. I gained 5 lbs. Yes, you read that correctly. FIVE POUNDS. Was I expecting it? Ummmm, yah. I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I'm not going to make any excuses. Lord knows I could come up with a viable list though. But I'm not going to. I'm going to start over, clean slate, just like I did when I walked into my very first WW meeting. It's funny how my WW leader knows when to pick the right topics for meetings. Today's was about how to deal with negative th… Continue
