You can't fool anyone...

What you do in private shows in public.  That is the one thing about being a food addict that is so true isn't it?  I mean, no matter how much I pretend that I am doing well, what is going on shows up on my body in the form of extra pounds.   People know when I am stressed out because it always shows. 

Today I come here with my head held high because, once again, I am committed to making a change.  Yes.  Again.  Yes for the 100th time.  This is a commitment that I have made several times....and who knows if this will be the final one....but I will say that no matter what, as long as I don't give up completely, I will still have won.  I put my corrected weight on this site.  Which means that since my last visit here I have gained 17 pounds and I don't know how that is possible in 2 short months when it seems to take an eternity to just take off one pound....but that is what I weigh.  I am coming here and confessing that to you because when I hide, that is when the weight comes on.  It is when I don't care to count calories, get on the scale, or the treadmill for that matter. 

So I want it back.  My MoJo.  Did you find it?  Well, I seem to have found a small dose.  And so what I intend to do is do what I know.  Pay attention and get on the exercise train.  That is the thing that always helps me most.  When I get on tract with the exercise, everything else seems to fall into place.

I am not going to tell anyone at home...I am just going to do it and make the changes.  I am sure that he notices the 39 pounds that I have put back on and bless him for not saying anything and still being as awesome and attracted to me as always but it is time to get back on the train. 

So here it is day one and I am doing fine.  I know that being thin will not solve all of my personal issues but it will make me feel better physically and my body is rebelling so I will listen.

Love and I will be around now.  Promise. 

xoxo

So glad to see you back!

This is a lifestyle change. It will have it ups and downs. It's important to remember that it's not now or never. We willl be face with hard times ahead of us, it's how we react and adjust to it. You can get back on that wagon with the rest of us and chug along on the road to good health!

Love ya back

Welcome back, Stranger!

Karrie! Where ya been? Sorry you've been off the wagon, but this is the first step to getting back on! Good for you for being strong and having the courage to start back. You'll find your mojo; look within.

Good luck and welcome back!

Here for ya...

KBB thanks for the sweet note.  I'm here for you too.  Def. up for lunch or walk or anything.  I tend to go underground when I'm hurting... will try not to do that.  (((((hug))))) great to see you even virtually. 

That's my girl!

Karrie, I am so glad you're back.  We can all relate!  We've all been there.  I did the same thing.  I gained back a ton when I stopped back in May, I've been haphazardly trying since then.

We can do this!  We WILL do this together.  But I'm sad....how come I'm not on your friends list anymore..are you cutting me off ?  <wahhhhh!>

Just kidding!  Have a great day!

Aw girl!

What can I say that they others haven't already said?  I'm glad you're back.  I know how important EP is to me.  I have definitely missed your posts.  You can do this!  As you know, sometimes we have to FORCE that mojo until it comes naturally.  Come on girl!  Let's be FINE together!  (Okay, we ALREADY are.)
