    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

The blessed 120's
on January 29, 2008 5:11 pm
HURRAY HURRAY!   I weighed 129.8 this morning.  That means I am less than 10 pounds from my goal weight of 120.  I also have been trying the 5 day pouch test (I am on day 4) and I think it's actually working!! Lately, I felt like I could eat too much and I never felt full.  So I tried the test (www.5daypouchtest.com) and after dinner tonight I felt extremely full. AAAHHH, what a relief!!  My self-control is NOT good and I constantly worry that I am going to be fat again.  I do have a tendency to snack and pick at food.  I need to find something I can pick at all day that isn't so bad for me.  Eat all day and consume very little calories -- that is my dream come true!!

Other than that, things have been going pretty well.  I went to my cancer doctor today (I'm 10 years cancer free, but still go for regular check ups).  They had a picture of me in my file and told me that since it didn't even look like me anymore, they were going to take another.  I literally took up 1/2 the space in the picture as before.  She gave me my fatty picture as a souvenir (of what, I'm not sure.)  Anyway, I showed it around at work and people kept saying, "You weren't that big!!"  OH BUT I WAS!!  I guess I should be glad people forgot how huge I was!! I wish I could forget!!  OH - I bought a new scale that measures body fat.  YIKES!  Depending on the time of day, sometimes I am almost 100% FAT!  Well, maybe that's a little of an exaggeration, but really.  What does a girl have to do for God's sake????

Okay - exciting things that have happened:

- I wore a size 4 for the first time
- I wore bikini underwear for the first time in a long time without the underwear completely disappearing
- I got down into the 120s
- I found out my insurance covers tummy tucks if they are medically necessary
- Somebody called me "Tiny"

A new year!!
on January 1, 2008 11:07 am
Wow - it's 2008.  The first new year in a long time that I wasn't FAT!!!!  Today, I weighed in at 132.8 pounds.  That means I met my doctor's goal weight.  Only 12 pounds to go to reach MY goal weight.  2008 is going to be GREAT!!!!

The Good and the Bad
on October 25, 2007 5:29 am
The Good - I reached a new milestone.  On Monday, I ran 4 miles!!! The bad - I am so hungry and I snack at night.  I gained 2 pounds!  What to do, what to do . . .

7 Months Out
on October 18, 2007 6:14 pm
WOW!  7 months.  First, I must grumble a little bit.  Well, I am not losing as much per month as I would like.  This month I only lost 6 pounds, and that has been the average for the last 4 months.  I weighed 144.6 this morning.  My lowest is 144.0.  I desperately want to be 136 so I can say I am no longer overweight!!!!!  I find that I am soooo hungry all the time lately.  I just can eat eat eat.  It makes me nervous because I still have bad habits - eating at night, picking at sweets, etc.  UGH!I do not want to be fat again.  Okay, enough of the neurotic stuff.  

New Milestone:

10/15 - I wore a size 6P suit to work.

The 140s
on September 22, 2007 10:22 am

I hit the 140s today.  I really want to be in the 120s, but, hey, I'm no complainer.  Hopefully, if I can just stop snacking at night, I will zip through the 140s in no time.  I am pretty happy, however, because I was stuck at 150 for a good 2 or 3 weeks.  My scale is such a tease!  Oh, I found some half naked pictures of myself, which I took as before pictures. (Me in just underwear.)  I think when I'm hungry, I will go look at those.  They make me pretty nauseous.

My Story

Well, my story sounds a lot like the others!  I have struggled with my weight since I was in Jr. High School.  I went on my first diet (complete w/ diet pills) when I was 15 years old.  I have probably gained and lost 300 pounds since then!
