Somebody Slap Me, Please!

Sep 11, 2010

  Okay, enough is enough!!  Cooler temps are in the air, and what do I have to wear??  NOTHING!!!  I was still able to squeeze in to SOME 12's when the weather was cold....and then when the weather was still chilly in early spring I had to resort to wearing some 14's too.  All summer I have broke my golden rule....I have worn very comfortable shorts or capri's that had elastic in them!!  *gasp*  Well....not all of them have, but some did, and they were the ones I wore the most because they were the most comfortable.  Gee, I wonder why??  oi.

Okay, well, Aunt Flo is packing her bags and leaving today.....so that's a big help.  I can't change the past few months, all I can do is change from here, forward.  I CAN get in more exercise, and I CAN make better food choices.  

Football starts tomorrow, so there is one day of the week that I know I will probably blow it!!  Chips and dips!!  ha ha ha!!  If I can just make it a one day a week semi-slurge maybe it will be okay?  Hmmmm something to think about.  

I weighed in at 201 this morning when I came home from Robert's house, but I am pretty confident that I can lose a few pounds quickly, just because I still have a lot of water weight.  I feel bloated still.  I hung out with a friend of mine that was also banded, and we work together.  She was having a bowling birthday party.  It's pretty nice talking to her.  I was her hero at first.  I had been banded a little over a year before she was.  I was losing nicely (slow, but nice) and I gave her all kinds of REAL insight about how you will FEEL once you get restriction.  I told her how you start to rebel against it and get angry....even though you have prayed for restriction!!  It's our food addictions lashing out.  I don't think she quite believed me until her time came!!  ha ha ha That's okay....I wouldn't have believed that for myself either.  ha ha  

She is now MY hero.  She has gotten close to her goal and she really measures out everything she eats.  It just makes sense.  How do I or will I know if I TRULY need a fill if I don't know how much I am eating consistantly.   I also need to measure and stick to a certain amount to lose weight.  There is just no way around it.  My friend has gone through her periods of being too tight and trying to keep that tight fill because the weight is coming off....yep.   I guess we all go through that!! 

Well, today is a new day.  The weather is absolutely gorgeous.  I plan on making healthy choices for me and getting in some exercise.    You know why??  Because I love me!!!  (and I want to get back in my skinny jeans, damnit!)  ha ha ha ha
