Profile

About Me:: I am a 27 year old wife and mother of 3 children! I work part-time as an Assist. Business Office Manager for a short-term rehab center.

I’ve always viewed myself as heavy, ever since I was in elementary school. (That view came from society, of course, as I wasn't a 'stick' figure.) I’ve struggled with a low self-esteem for as long as I can remember. As far as diets of any sort, the first attempt started in 6th grade when I became anorexic. The next year I did some weird fiber cookie diet thing. So the yo-yo roller-coaster started in Junior High and I’ve been on that ride since. I’ve done everything from South Beach Diet, Slim Fast shakes, Weight Watchers twice, diet pills bought from the television that I can’t even recall the names of, Meredia, Phentramine, etc. you get the picture! And with each attempt I’ve ended up heavier than when I started.

Looking back even 9-10 years ago when I felt I was real heavy, I looked pretty good. That's my goal is to get back to where I was around 9 years ago. I am on my journey to lose 70 pounds and to create lifetime healthy habits that I can also pass on to my children.

Plan of Choice:: Low Fat, High Fiber, Weight Watchers

Workout Philiosophy:: I loath exercice, I only exercise because I have to

May have found the hard, cold truth...

Ok. Definitely no rhyme or reason to this post, in fact, a lot of jumbled fragmented thoughts...but I need to get them out and process them. What if I am scared of being anything but this 'fat' person I've become? In all honesty, I'm scared. I'm not sure what of. As I sit here writing this, tears are burning in my eyes and I just got an awful feeling and thought. As I thought this thought, I got this terrible gnawing feeling in my stomach, like maybe I was on to something. Am I scared because… Continue

Where to start again?

Wow! Obviously it's been forever since I posted last, and while I'd like to report that everything has been on the up and up, it's not been. I have REALLY been struggling and have gone rather crazy actually. I'm not sure what finally bottomed me out, but something did. I have done a bit of self-evaluation and have been questioning myself if I'm happy with the way I've been living (food wise) the last several weeks. Honestly, I feel like an out of control cow! I FEEL fatter (more-so than the real… Continue

Steady wins the race.

Two posts in less than a half hour, wow, that's accomplishment! :) I just posted this comment on Arlene's post about losing slow and steady and it was a good pep talk for myself. Hopefully this will hype me up for this coming weeks success. You and I are totally on the same wavelength with this whole slow loss thing. But it's so true. I keep having to tell myself, slow and steady is so much better. And… Continue

Very, very frustrated with myself.

I really REALLY debated not posting this week. Mainly just because I feel very ashamed and depressed about the outcome. Yep, 4 pound loss last week, 3 pound gain this week. I'm very frustrated. I can honestly say I wasn't surprised at the number, but disappointed in myself. Yesterday I kept eating and eating. I couldn't stop and I knew what the end result would be, WHY isn't that enough? I am self-defiant in every aspect. (By the way, I'll warn now, TOM is visiting.) I'm honestly in a lot of fr… Continue

Mid-Week update is a bit overdue...

Ok, well I debated doing a midweek update because it's not been so fabulous. I've decided the purpose of my blogging though. There are some blogs that are so motivational/inspirational on the weight loss front. And then there will be some like MINE, that are there to show others that if you just keep picking yourself up long enough, you'll get to your goal. You see, I'm determined to not give up. But my progress is a lot more unsteady than a lot on here. So, I might have only lost 22 pounds thus… Continue

At 3:42am on August 20th, 2008, Arlene said…: Hey, you! What have you been up to lately? I've fallen down in my no late night snacking, but I'm still plugging away, trying to make it to One-derland. (I was right near it again this week ... 200.6 ... I re-gained the .4 I lost the week before.)

At 4:46pm on August 7th, 2008, Arlene said…: You definitely don't need the mac & cheese ... have a turkey wrap ... and if you must eat mac & cheese, stop with a spoonful or two. (I know, that's easier said than done. I usually have to avoid it altogether, because two bites becomes four and then I've devoured the entire box ... pre-Atkins, I would fix myself a box of mac & cheese, and that was lunch. Awful to think about, eh?)

At 2:10pm on August 7th, 2008, Arlene said…: Up for it? I'm already doing it: I've avoided late-night snacking for three days now! And I think it's working: my home scale said 198.6 this morning. Woo-hoo!

So yes, let's do it.

At 2:01pm on July 2nd, 2008, Arlene said…: Not lame at all ... I still do the same thing sometimes.

Maybe we should challenge each other to journal everything, every day, for a week.

You could easily just replace the raisin bran with any type of 100% bran cereal, I don't think you would want more than maybe 3 bananas per dozen (gets mushy and begins to fall apart). I think you could probably cut out half of the sugar if you plan on using 2-3 bananas per dozen, but I haven't tested this theory. I would use well-ripened ones with the little brown spots starting to appear and bake them right away. I just batch out my bananas, etc for that particular day or week and keep my mix in the fridge. Have Fun!
