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
Summer Days, Losing Weight
Oh my it's been a bit since I posted, but I am back. I have recently wanted to start up with my video making, I haven't done one in months. I miss it, but for those who keep up, know what that is all about. I am also doing the dieting thing. Which by the way is going great, I have lost over 50 lbs already, isn't that just fantastic?? Even if you aren't impressed, I am. And that is the only 'real' person that counts! I am keeping track in two ways, using MyFitnessPal, that is life saver, but I also post about it in my other blog. It helps me keep track. I started doing my nails again,but not with glitter, I have just wanted to enjoy the nail polishes I have. Which I just scored on some at Walgreens this weekend. I have printed off $1 off coupons, about 6, with my Williams help of course, and they were on sale $4/2, so I got them at a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #11 – Surprise, Surprise
I weighed myself and was happy to see I lost 3.6 lbs, yay. I was super excited. I hate yo-yo-ing, but what am what do I to do? Just keep going forward. I am still eating meals from Weight Watchers, Smart Ones, and Healthy Choice, I’m really liking Healthy Choice a lot more, but Weight Watchers has some nice meals too, Smart Ones continue to be a bit boring, but I can’t be too choosy right? I am now seeing more of a change in my body, which makes me so happy, I’ve come a long way to finally be here. Throughout my entire life, I had tried losing weight but was never able to achieve what I wanted and I didn’t understand why. I thought hmm maybe I have a thyroid problem, but it’s evident now, that is not the problem. It was obviously my eating habits. I am the kind of person that will put on weight immediately, which sucks big time. My Continue Reading
Weigh-in #7 ~ Success!!
This past weigh-in was a success, but at the same time, I feel it could be a false negative. I say this based on what happened last week if you recall. On Saturday morning, I weighed myself and I weighed 305 lbs, now according to my last weigh-in, I lost 5.7 lbs, which seems like a lot to me. I didn’t do anything significantly different from last week. So I was pretty shocked when I saw 305 lbs. I’m almost scared to weigh in Saturday thinking it’ll be back up to 310, I’m having a hard time really passing into the 200s. But I am not giving up. I’m really happy with what I see going on, to date I have lost 40.6 lbs, and that is a big accomplishment for anyone obese that is trying to lose weight. Yay, go me! Back before I decided to get on a diet and change my lifestyle, I felt I was really hitting rock bottom. I am on the computer a Continue Reading
