Has it really been this long!

Mar 06, 2009

OMIGOSH! I did not realize it was OCTOBER the last time I posted. The last few months have been Hell. I've been so incredibly depressed and the last thing on my mind was doing something about my obesity. But after counseling, new meds and lots of support from family and friends (Thank you Karen!!) I'm baaaaacckkk.

My mom signed us up for Weight Watchers last night. We're going to do it together. I'm much more motivated now that Mom is depending upon me not to waste her money and to keep her motivated. Sure, it's feeding my codependent nature, but hey, maybe this is a healthy codependency this time? So today was my first full day on WW and I did really well. I'm proud of me!

Energy NEEDED

Oct 16, 2008

I've gained. I need some ENERGY. I just took a "Stacker2 Energy Shot". I've never taken one before so I have no idea what to expect, I just hope it gives some ambition to STAY AWAY  from the food and GET SOME STUFF DONE! 

So much to do....so little drive to do it....

Moving....but Wrong Direction!! :o(

Oct 15, 2008

It's my own darn fault!  I've been pigging out since last Thursday or Friday. We had a birthday party for my son complete with Ice Cream Sundaes. Party was great...and so were the sundaes. Of course, I over purchased because I wouldn't want to run out....but then that means there's leftovers here...at least until I finish gobbling them all up.

The good news is that I was up significantly (like 6 lbs) and now I'm only up three...still it's the wrong direction and I need to get back to seriousness!!

It Moved!

Oct 07, 2008

YAY!!! I know I shouldn't have weighed again this morning but decided to since I was getting discouraged and pigged out on Chinese food last night. I also ate some oatmeal with raisins yesterday am, continued drinking lots of fluids and did some yard work so I guess the combination of all those things flushed out some of the baddies and helped that needle on the scale FINALLY move!! Alright, it's just 2 pounds but it's a start! And I guess it's not bad for 4 days worth of monitoring what I eat!

I'm rather busy around the house these days. My middle son, Jeremy, is having his 8th birthday party here on Friday night. We've been working on the yard and house. The yard is coming along nicely. All the kids and I worked together out there yesterday and it was GREAT fun! This is terrible, but I hate having to stop what I'm doing to feed, bathe and put them to bed when I'm in a groove.

Of course, after all that was done, it was dark and late and I opted to fold laundry, which also needed to be done but I was REALLY ENJOYING the physical labor of yard work! I actually really do enjoy it, but it never fails, as soon as I get started, something interrupts me and I don't get much done, which is why I seldom get all dirty and sweaty just to be interrupted.

OK. Enough about me! How are YOU today?
God Bless You!! 

The scale is STUCK

Oct 06, 2008

I probably shouldn't be weighing every morning, but since I'm excited, I figured maybe that would help me stay motivated. Well, I'm still feeling good about my decisions and am still eating MUCH less but haven't dropped an ounce. I suppose I should just be happy the needle on the scale isn't heading in the opposite direction.

Still Inspired

Oct 05, 2008

OK, it's only been 2 full days since my decision to DO SOMETHING but I'm thankful to still be inspired. I have a habit of getting REALLY psyched about something and the next day I'm over it. But I'm not!! Truthfully, I'm not  as excited as I was, but I'm tired too and frustrated with other life stuff so the fact I'm not raiding the pantry and fridge is a real accomplishment.

I did step on the scale this morning, and I'm sorry to say haven't lost anything, might have even gained a lb (can't really tell) even though I've cut down SIGNIFICANTLY and I'm drinking lots of fluids to flush out the yuck. But I'm not not not not not giving up! I even measured out my dry shredded wheat before eating this morning! I'm going to try to measure my food because I know a HUGE problem for me is portion control.

Back to dealing with life now....I LOVE this site and thank you all for sharing so much of yourself here! I could read about my new friends for HOURS!

Blessings,
Vicki

Mad as Hell with ME

Oct 04, 2008

This is my first post. I've had a log-on for a while since my best friend had surgery a month ago but I've never posted. NOW I'm READY READY READY!!!!

So I'm feeling pretty good and sassy this morning. Up and at it early, feel more energetic than usual and decide to try on my best friend's "fat clothes" she can no longer wear because she's already lost so much.
I couldn't even get the darn jeans over my hippopotomus hips!!!

So that's when I decide to do something about it. I'm REALLY REALLY gonna try to excercise and cut down significantly on what I'm going to eat. I'm going to utilize my resources and USE this website! So I come on here, start entering my info and realize I'm in the highest possible "SUPER MORBIDLY OBESE" category. Ok, I knew that, but to see it on the Obesity Help website was alraming. Then my BMI....well, UUUUUGGGH!

But I'm very thankful for this resource, for my family who wants me to be HEALTHY and my awesome friends, like Karen who are a tremendous inspiration to me!!! I'm sooooooo ready for the surgery but my insurance WILL NOT cover it! So, it's all up to me, I mean, I guess that's only fair, I got myself into this, I now have to deal with it.

The other bright spot in this whole episode was I'm actually about 5 lbs lighter than the last time I weighed. But, then again, I can fluctuate 5-7 lbs from week to week, which I guess is like a normal person fluctuating a 1/2 lb or so.

Thank you for taking the time to read my rant and visit my profile!
God Bless you!
