REJECTING THE NEGATIVE
so ive been sick the past couple of weeks. They say you lose your appetite when your ill......NOT ME! I found myself at home and grazing like a cow. And the scale shows it. That negative sinking feeling came on me again like I am a failure and i will be fat for the rest of my life. But i had to step back and check myself. its about being consistant and i have to stay on course and keep positive. I saw my weight loss doctor today...she was disappointed as well....i want to prove that i can overcome this. I know the tools i have to continue to implement them. Doc put me on addipex. I need it. My daughter went to her weight management clinic also. its crazy how the information is so simple but we dont adhere to it.im slowly putting these changes in my life so they can be long term for me and my daughter........the struggle continues

Dazed and Amazed
I lost 8 pounds!!!!!! Didnt even want to weigh myself but i said y not and got on the scale and was pleasantly surprised. I'm nothing but thankful. In the beginning the weight does come off but it can come back on so quickly that if i dont make my dietary changes a consistent part of my life it will always be a yo-yo experience and i dont want that. Have to keep pushing with the excersise to. I did not walk yesterday but i know i'm gonna have to today. I'm finding out that excersise is best for me in the morning I have more energy throughout the day. At night when everything is winding down I have a harder time working out. I did eat a little extra but not as much as would normally.(baby steps)
That scale gave me 8 pounds of motivation.....ATL here i come ....less of me!
I scheduled an appointment with a weight loss doctor so that i can get a rx for phentermine. I have used it in the past with very good results and i didnt even work out so now that i have incorporated some good habits i think they will be an extra help.
On the down side my daughter has gained @ 15 pounds. I dont know how to get her mind to change about food. She doesnt realize whats happening to her. I have her excersising with me and I try to watch what she eats but she sneeks food. Can anybody tell me what to do to help my child

MOTIVATION
Today i had a battle with a bag of doritos and the doritos won:( I wasnt hungry, just falling into a old pattern...it was there so i have to have some. I started to get down about it but i had to check myself. This is a slow process and even though I may slip a little i WILL NEVER FALL ! I'm still learning how to eat and about portion control so i pulled myself together.
My friend and I have decided to go to the all star NBA games in atlanta in march.
I'm excited!!! Went a couple of years ago and had a ball although a big woman on a small bus is not the best feeling in the world.If I can lose at least 50lbs before we go I would be VERY happy. This is my new motivation!!!

WHEN DID IT ALL START??
i try to think back and figure out where my facination with food came from. Up until the last few years i never knew the feeling of hunger or the feeling of fullness because i was always "grazing" until i was just stuffed. When we would have pizza or something like that I would eat my pieces as fast as i could so I could get the most pieces. I would sneak and eat and the sweeter it was the better i liked it? Now I see my daughter picking up those same traits. She loves food and loves to eat. It breaks my heart because i'm still trying to find my way so how can i be of any help to her? I know one thing....I'm not gonna make her ashamed and I am not going to ridicule her like I was and not offered much help. i'm seeking any help I can recieve for us and if she sees momma losing it then maby she will follow my new habits....That's a major factor that keeps me on this journey.

such a pretty face!
One beaurtiful spring day i was out and about running errands. An elderly woman was walking with her friend and they approached me. She grabbed my chin and said " you know you are really pretty......with your big ol self! At first I was flattered till I caught the end of that statement.
Why does a heavy person JUST have to have a pretty face??
So if we were all jus head and shoulders we would be beauty queens! I graciously told her thank you cause in her heart she really felt like she gave me a compliment.........i did not

the first day of the rest of my life
Im on the road again! I had lost only to gain it all back. i was gonna purchase one of these get- slim-quick gimmics then it hit me....they are all saying the same thing.... eat less, move more. baby steps i know but this is what must be done till i can change my current mindset about food and excersise. i decided i was not going to go into the house after work till i walked. I called my daughter to meet me outside and we walked 3 blocks!!!!!! I'm waiting for the good feeling to kick in after you work out that ppl talk about but im proud that i stayed committed. i love that i found this site. im feeling good about this whole experience! and im praying to stay consistent. that is my only goal right now
