I blew it.

For two week I have been doing awesome….following South Beach to a tee and then yesterday after my daughter’s game I was starving and the family stopped for pizza. I ate one slice of pizza and everything went down hill from there. I weighed myself this morning and lost a pound….I should be [...]

First week of South Beach.

I’ve been really bad about keeping up with this blog. I need to make a commitment to check in at least once a day…for myself. I have been doing South Beach and am on day 8 of Phase 1. I thought I was doing really well and following the program to a tee, until I read [...]

About Me:: I’m a 30 something wife to a wonderful man and mommy to 2 beautiful girls (5yr old) and a (1yr old). I’m so blessed to have a wonderful family, but I put them first before myself. I have let myself go and my weight and health are suffering. It’s time to give myself some attention and then I can be an even better wife and mother. My weight problem really started after I met my husband, I fell head over heels for him and he talked me into moving to his community (rural). I found a job close to there and decided that I would move closer to him. I left my job, my family, my friends and sold my house (what we do when we're in love).

When my husband and I got married in 2002 I weighed in at 218 pounds. I had gained around 50 pounds in that year. When I got pregnant w/DD1 in 2003 I weighed in at 220 pounds. My weight got up to 260 pounds when I gave birth to her. I did get back down to 230 pounds, which is what my body seems to gravitate towards. When I got pregnant w/DD2 in 2006 I started the pregnancy weighing in at 233 pounds. My weight got up to 280 pounds when I gave birth to her, but I am back down to 250 pounds, why couldn’t I have gone down to my infamous 230 pounds? Anyways, that is where I am at now….my DD2 turned 1yr old January 11th and I have not lost one single pound….I figured breastfeeding would help get some of the weight off, but no such luck.

That’s why I am here….I would love to get back down to 155 pounds. I’m currently going to school to be a registered nurse, so when I’m not working or in school….I’m at home giving baths, cooking supper, cleaning house, paying bills, doing homework, doing laundry, catching up on errands and trying to spend as much time with my family as I can.

I'm excited to be here and am looking forward to meeting others that are on the road to fitness.

Changing my attitude.

I am a beautiful, caring person who has let herself get overwhelmed with negative thoughts about life and herself.....that has all changed! I realized today, after reading my last post, that my attitude towards myself has made me into a miserable person. Who wants to associate with someone with that much negativity? I'm an emotional eater, as well, and it's a terrible cycle to be in, unless I change my attitude I will never get out of this prison of negativity I am in. I need to stop pointing my… Continue

Am I just being paranoid?

I read an article about people being prejudiced about people who are overweight. They said that as soon as they lost weight people treated them differently. I have been in a sort of depression lately and am definitely not the happy person that I used to be. I've noticed that nobody stops to talk to me anymore like they used to. People used to smile or wave at me when I drove by, but I don't get that anymore. I feel like people barely know that I am there. I live in a small town, where everyone k… Continue

Trying South Beach

Well...I've decided I'm going to try South Beach. I've been doing WW, but since I live so far away from the meetings, I was trying to do it on my own. I feel that the meetings are crucial for success and I just don't have that....so I'm going to the Beach :) A friend of mine had huge successes with South Beach and I've been reading, You: On A Diet, which what they recommend is pretty similiar. I went to the grocery store today to buy all Phase 1 foods, tons of veggies, chicken, cottage cheese,… Continue
