I actually fit in my party dress this year!

Monday, December 20, 2010

I'm having a really good day! I had my husbands work party last weekend and its went great! I actually fit into the dress i bought for the party! I was having a great hair day ( my husband even commented on it). I feel like I'm finally getting back on track after being on the prednisone! Thank God! I don't wish that stuff on anyone! I'm almost done with all chores Christmas and feel pretty in control of that as wellL! Hope everyone is having a great day too!

Isn't that just the best feeling, fitting into something that you really want to wear and that makes you feel good about yourself? Congrats! Report Inappropriate Comment

One Year Anniversary! Thanks!

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Well, today is my one year anniversary of starting a healthy life style! I've had some up s and downs through the year but I've found new ways of dealing with issues. I feel I'm a new person! I've found new forms of exercise, healthy foods that I always have in the house, and this awesome website to come to support. Thank you all who have written to me, and to all the article you have written or posted in our teams. They have saved me many times. I'm looking forward to a new year to adventure into! Let's enjoy the ride together!

Prednisone is so destructive but necessary....

Thursday, December 09, 2010

Well last post was so positive. Today's not so much. I went to the mall yesturday to get a dress for my husbands Christmas party. In October I was wearing a size 6 dress. Now because I had to be on prednisone for 9 days a size 10 was too small for me :(. Now I have to wear a size 12 dress from last years party that I worked so hard to never wear again. I know its not me. I know its the medicine. That is an improvement to me. I used to take something like this and just give up. Eat awful and feel even worse about myself. I'm not doing that. I'm eating very healthy and exercising. So thats good. I am so bummed about this though. Sometimes just need to blog and move on. Hopefully this will help me today! Thanks for listening!

So very sorry they had to put you on prednisone :((( I am so glad none of my specialists ever resorted to that. They gave me everything under the sun, BUT that. Its really too bad they can't give you an alternative. There are lots of great medicines out there and new ones coming up all the time..I would push your Dr. for a better alternative if I was you (and if you could afford it). I am lucky my drugs are covered by my government or I would never be able to afford them.. You have the right attitude to deal with it. You have to keep up with good eating and exercise and hope for the best that you will be able to go off it soon.. Linda Report Inappropriate Comment

You WILL lose the weight if you eat properly and exercise. I know it's not fair, but life seldom is. Report Inappropriate Comment

Feel back on Track!

What a good way to start the holidays. I feel I'm back to healthy eating! This gives me hope for future binges. If there are any. It used to be I'd have a binge and just feel like forget it, it's over, I might as well eat everything in sight. This time in the back of my head I knew the right way to eat and had this feeling this wasn't the end. Just a step in the process. Thanks for the encouragement from those who responded to my last post. I needed it!

Oh, I feel your energy! This is exactly the reality of our lives. There will be times - let's face it, we're human - where we will stumble but the difference now is that we get back up and persevere! Have a great, healthy week. And thanks for checking out my blog! Report Inappropriate Comment

Halloween got me!!!!

Sunday, October 31, 2010

Wow I'm soooooo sick of all the crap I ate! First binge in 10 months. I feel awful! I know I don't want to do that again! I hope I can wear my cute Halloween T shirt today! I need help! I'm reading my spark groups. Sending in posts to my teams. Please respond. I need some feedback!

Thanks for commenting on my blog. That helped me find YOU! Dealing with yourself after a binge isn't fun. But I think you'll find that you'll handle it differently this time. Every once in a while life happens, right? One splurge does not a disaster make. But the deal is (& I know you know this) to follow the great advice of your friends. Just get back up and start your program again. Throw in a bit more exercise, and keep working towards your healthy goal. Thanks again for reaching out to me. Report Inappropriate Comment

Just get back on the horse and return to what are now your NORMAL good habits, and no sweat. That binge will wear right back off. Report Inappropriate Comment

Exercise, exercise, exercise! See how much you can today. Go for a walk, take the kids to the park and chase them. Shake it off, today's a new day. You can make it a great day! Report Inappropriate Comment
