I am so so happy. When I got up today, grabbed the scale, and made my way to the bathroom to weigh in, I was doing a silent prayer. I weighed myself and my heart sank. I thought I had gained a lot. I walk into the room, my honey is sitting on the bed waiting, and he asks: How did it go? I said: I $#%#$% gained weight! He is shocked and says: But how could you, that is impossible! He asked me to show him so I did, and the image below is what I showed him. So for some reason, I jumped ahead and thought I was already in the 270s which I wasn’t. I thought I had gained 5lbs but instead, I LOST 5.4 lbs, WOOOHOOO I think that may very well have put me back on track to make my 100 lbs mark by January 2015, oh my gosh I am so so so sooooo happy you have no idea. I still believe I need to do meal-to-meal, instead of Continue Reading
Weigh-in #20 ~ Oh no!!!
What happened?! No, I didn’t just yo-yo again!!! Ugh, I am so so angry and disappointed, but happy it is not 5 lbs. I gained, yes you read right, gained 2.6 lbs. damn damn damn, what the hell!! Give me a break. I am scared to weigh in next week now. Things are not going well at all. I am disappointed each week, I have gained weight, and it is really upsetting me I do not want to go back to where I was. I need to get it in my head, that for me, my way of eating will have to be a lifetime commitment or I will never achieve my desired results. I have really considered writing Biggest Loser and try to get on the show, I would be more than willing to put myself to the test for a whole year. But then I think NO I can do this on my own!! I’m getting worried. I need to concentrate more! Really need to not worry about wasting Continue Reading
Weigh-in #19 ~ A Comeback!!!
I have done a comeback, and that is good, it means I can recover and my own pep talks are helping, thank goodness for that. I suppose everyone has slip-ups and I am not an exception. I know this is going to be a struggle, and I know I will get to a place in my mind when I am going to be triumphant over this, and it will come as second nature to me. Thank goodness. So for this weigh-in, I lost 2.4 lbs, exactly what I gained last week, so really I haven’t moved anywhere, wait actually, I have, even though I haven’t lost more. At least I am not gaining, right? Now for the photo. I’m glad I am heading in the right direction. I just got to keep it up. I can do this, thank you for all your silent supporters, I know you are there, and I appreciate it. Till next timeEmily Continue Reading
Weigh-in #18 – Rough Waters
I’m not so happy trying to lose weight on my own. I know is up to me, and I need to be strict about things. Now what I’m about to tell you, may seem like an ‘excuse’ but I am genuinely being honest about it. Growing up in poverty as a child, you appreciated the food you had to eat, as so many are worse off than we were as children. I am right, anyone with common sense should agree. Are they a lot of those? You be the judge. Moving on, as I mentioned, growing up we appreciated our food. Now as an adult, in my current relationship. My fiancé's mother, makes us dinner sometimes once every two weeks, usually Lasagna with some kind of sausage, Italian usually, and also sometimes pasta, VERY VERY delicious but also VERY VERY fattening. I don’t like food to go to waste, and I don’t OVER indulge, but my portions have to be small if I am to Continue Reading
Weigh-in #17 ~ Smooth Sailing
Right, so as it looks so far I am doing good, need to keep on this pace. I think my posts will get shorter lol. We’ll see. Typing with long nails makes it a little tricky, but I am managing. I’m happy to say I have lost 2.4 lbs, yay way to go Emily Lol. I’m happy about that, it makes me feel proud. As I mentioned before, I need to at least lose 2 lbs a week, in order to stay on track, the more yo-yo-ing I do, the more it can possibly set me back. Now for the photo! So that is a victory for me, so far so good! Ok, that is it for me. Till next time! Emily Continue Reading
