As they all do. Last night I didnt have the best night. I broke down last night and had some ice cream. I did limit myself to eating a little bit. Yes I wanted to sit down with a serving bowl size! <BR> So today I start my new job. I have been unemployed for the past 6 months. I am excited and nervous. I am hoping that being out in the working world will help me get moving and take some of the weight off that I have gained the last 6 months. Depression ...

Yesterday I had a very stressful day AND I started my monthly. I did NOT grab that tub of frosting that is taunting me from the pantry. Damn that cream cheese frosting smeared on graham crackers oh how I love you so. Nor did I have my hubby bring home chips and queso from my favorite Mexican restaurant. Yeah for me! Now to get through today without and sweet or salty treats. <BR> I have a beautiful daughter that is 19 and means the world to me. Being...

I guess its true...the older you get the faster time flies. <BR> So today I stepped on the scale just to see how the week has been going...I have lost a pound and a half! Yes I actually did a little happy dance this morning. It is amazing that the scale has that much power over a person. I knew that I was feeling a little better this week...actually getting off the couch and moving. Yesterday I made myself go up and down the stairs twice. Yes ...

God love her...she didnt even blink an eye. She just said Ok...what do you want to do about that? I again started crying. I am so thankful for the true friends that God has sent me. I also confessed my fears (leaving the house) and my weight to my husband. He just quickly replied...your not fat! you are beautiful. Yes that is why I married that man. He was just in shock that I thought of myself that way. In his mind I am ... Thu, 31 May 2012 08:27:11 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4904130 I am now up to 266 pounds and a size 24. wow. just wow. I am to the point where I cant do anything without getting out of breath! I am even to the point where I dont want to leave the house because I am embarrassed of how big I am. That is horrible. So this morning I started out changing my life. I switched from sugar in my coffee to splenda. I have also started drinking water. I know that it will take small changes, not a crash diet. I know that I can be strong and do it this time. with a lo... Wed, 30 May 2012 10:45:29 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=651732 Ok here we go! I am going to pour my heart and soul out on this blog and hopefully it will help me get through this overweight state that I am in. Where to start...wow, that is a hard one! <BR> <BR> Well, first of all I have recently taken up knitting. And YES I have actually stuck with this for longer than a week!! Unlike all of my other crafts that I thought that I would take up, like quilting, stained glass, mossaic, etc! Yes it has been a very long road. I even tried to crochet, but the...
