Working hard at food choices
Yesterday, I found a site that lists my food log the way I like it and will begin showing my reports in my posts.
Today, I was really trying to challenge myself as to an alternate to bread for lunch. I decided on celery and peanut butter with 2 large strawberries.
My husband asked me out on a dinner date and wearily, I accepted. I went online before we left and decided what to get based on calories. I can't believe that I actually did that.
We had a great time and I wasn't guilty at all. I have never been this proactive about my food choices. I am excited and thankfully still motivated.

Made it through
Boy, yesterday way ROUGH! I didn't get much sleep the day before so when I woke up I was grumpy.
Food was a big challenge. I ate a double cheeseburger, fries, (from Wendys) and then later 1 1/2 slices of pizza.
I felt so guilty and generally bad. One bad day is not going to ruin my progress and future but I HATE that I was so weak.
I also argued with my sister-in- law. All in all I am glad yesterday is over!!!
I am starting today with a better outlook.

Sabotaged??
I wonder why it is that when I announce to my husband that I am going to be eating healthily he promptly goes shopping for chips, sweets, ice cream etc?
Then yesterday he makes cupcakes. I have talked to him about this for years. He always denies that it is an attempt to sabotage my attempts at healthy eating and weight loss.
I REALLY don't have enough willpower to just say no.If it is in the house I will be eating it. BUT not this time. I admit, I have been eating some ice cream at night and ate 2 cupcakes yesterday but there are still 30ish cupcakes and I WILL NOT eat them!!!!

Out and About
Yesterday, my husband, daughter and I went to the aquarium. I typically have been avoiding these types of situations but with my "new life" I decided to give it a try.
Well, it was very hot and we had to wait in a very long line. We did not let it discourage us. We waited and waited. Then I walked back to the parking lot to get my daughter her stroller. I was proud that I did it and did not complain. I actually offered.
Once inside, we did not miss an inch of the 220,000 foot facility. Then came lunch. Beyond belief, I bought a salad and water. And for the first time I did not feel deprived or embarrassed.
When I came home and took off my shoes, my feet and legs were very swollen. It was painful and itchy all at once. I soaked them in ice. I am better now but still sore. I guess this is where the -no pain no gain- theory comes in.
Lastly, I stepped on the scale this morning and NOTHING! No number no noise, nothing. This is the 3rd digital scale that I suppose my big butt broke 
Now I am on a mission to find a "regular" scale that goes up high enough for my weight without breaking my pocketbook. Any suggestions?

I am doing this!
Well ladies and gentlemen I will have you note that I have lost roughly 7lbs since joining this site on 8/14. What I have done differently:
- Cut out all soda
- Started taking multi-vitamins again
- Started taking my PCOS medication again
- Not binged
- Ate well balanced meals and wholesome snacks
- Eating more slowing
- Taking a moment to pause and THINK about what I am going to eat before I eat it
- Holding off cravings by drinking tons of water
- Moving around more
I know I have alot more to work on but I like this start

My new start
Today I am 34 years old. I weigh 270 lbs with a small/medium frame and I stand 5'2 tall. My highest weight was 298 and that was a few years ago. My lowest weight since childhood was 220. I have PCOS which makes it VERY hard to lose weight but not impossible.
I have to change my life. I am ashamed of the way I look. I have a husband and daughter. I keep saying no to activities and events with them because of my morbid obesity.
I am choosing to take control. I am not dieting but learning to make healthy eating choices. I am not going to sit at the PC or TV all evening - I am going to MOVE and get my blood flowing.
I am powerless over food and laziness. I give my life over to God. I cannot do it alone.
