SCROLL DOWN TO SEE CURRENT UPDATE!!
Hello everyone. July 19th 2009 will be my 3rd lifersary. I weighed in on June 19th 2009 and I was 165. I have decided, this is my goal weight. I have been trying to get to 150 for almost 2 years, but unless I do something drastic--like the fruit diet, I keep bouncing around in the 160s. So, I will listen to my body and accept 165.

Hello everyone. July 19th 2009 will be my 3rd lifersary. I weighed in on June 19th 2009 and I was 165. I have decided, this is my goal weight. I have been trying to get to 150 for almost 2 years, but unless I do something drastic--like the fruit diet, I keep bouncing around in the 160s. So, I will listen to my body and accept 165. I remember being in the 200s and thinking that people who complained about being the weight and size (10) that I am now were crazy. So, I will stop being crazy. I am healthy and in maintenance. I have reached my goal.
I started this journey on July 19th 2006 at 269 pounds. As of today I weigh 165 pounds. I have lost 104 pounds.
My old name was Slimsuccess. However, I have to give glory to God be cause He is the reason for my success. Through Him I have learned how to eat, and how to keep the weight off.
I still struggle every single day. I recognize that I am one of the many that cannot just eat as much as I want without suffering the consequences of gaining weight. So, I have learned how to eat in moderation by counting calories and exercising. I also recognize that I have intolerances to certain foods. These foods make me crave more food and cause me to binge eat. Lastly, I am an emotional eater and I have to keep that under control.
Another thing I have learned: SEEK, LEARN, APPLY. This is the process of changing and being successful in your weightloss journey.
I have learned how to indulge every once in a while--then I get right back on track.
CURRENT UPDATE:
On September 27th I got on the scale and I had gained 12 pounds. Uh-oh. It is time to get serious. So, I am back to my five pound goal plan to get back to goal. I am doing 21 binge free days to get it back under control. It is so easy to lose control. But, thank God it is only 12 and not 112.
Measurement and size goals:
11/12/2009 Waist 28 Hips 38 Size 10/12
November 25 Waist 27 Hips 37 Size 8/10
God is my God and I will not put anything above Him. My body is his temple so, it must be the best.
This has been a blessed and successful year. Now I can go on with the rest of my life healthy and happy.
