Hm, the title reminds me of Yoda! Here goes in further "affirming" myself so that I can stay on plan. I am a very open-minded woman. Of course, I have opinions and stances from which I will not budge. However, for the most part, I am understanding and supportive of those around me who choose their own paths in life. I believe that each individual has to decide what is best for their own life, and work from there. I am not one to presume I know more than others about their particular situations… Continue

I grew up as an overweight girl, and I don't think I have ever gotten over it. I am self conscious about many things and feel like I need more confidence. Right now, I am larger than I'd like to be, but I am not as huge in reality as I perceive myself as being. Therefore, my blog will be turning into a confidence builder for me. I am going to spend my entries not talking about the foods I eat or points I ate for the day. Instead, I will write to inspire myself. I will write about good parts of m… Continue

I was reading the Weight Watchen page about "too much TV" and I totally get it. I love my DVR for that very reason. It takes out the waste of commercials. However, I think I still watch too much TV and have even considered getting rid of the TV all together. What do you guys think? Tomorrow, I am taking my son to a Mommy&Me meeting at WW tomorrow.

I got back from vacation on Saturday and am just now starting to really get back to "normal". I did an excellent job both today and yesterday of keeping to my 25 point limit. I am very proud of myself! I hope to lose 30 pounds and be at 160 before I get pregnant with another child. It would be nice not to have so much weight to carry around during those long 9 months! I took my son to the doctor today for his 15 month appointment. He got his shots and is sleeping now. Hopefully, he will get ple… Continue

I have re-joined Weight Watchers as of yesterday. I got the monthly pass. It is always so hard around 2:30 until 4:30 to eat sensibly. I would love to make a large batch of something that is just horrible for me and eat it. Today, I did not do that. I cut up strawberries and had those instead. I have a major sweet tooth lately, which is why it is hard to lose weight. It does not seem to help to eat several small meals a day, even. I still want that enormous sugar rush in the afternoon. I am go… Continue
