Blah
Not doing so great. I've gained more weight and I'm really depressed. I had a good cry last night and my husband was so sweet to me! He even got some cucumbers to put on my eyes and then eye cream to help reduce the puffiness! I hate puffy eyes. All it takes is a little tearing up and I'm screwed.
We walked last night and we're going to walk today. Baby steps. I want to be running again. I don't know where my motivation has gone. My clothes are all too tight and I don't even want to go anywhere or see anyone because of that. I'm supposed to go to a club to see my favorite cover band tonight, but I have nothing to wear and dread seeing people I know. :(
I'll try to blog more. It might help me to stay focused. One thing I've been doing is every day I take one "goal" piece of clothing and hang it up so I can look at it all day as a reminder that I need to get this weight off. I've also been wearing a pedometer every day this past week.

Love to you!
Shelley, beautiful Shelley. I so relate, and yet you are far too hard on yourself sweetie. You are taking control and righting the ship before it gets too far off course. I admire that, and envy it. I'm in a much similar spot, but was too complacent/down to deal with it. Until this week. Sending love and support always. Thank you for your candor, that I can't even bring myself to yet.

Hello, Gorgeous!
Yep - I'm still stalking you!

Pfffft....
I just wrote you a really long response, and when posting EP told me that the word verification was wrong and lost it. Pah, forgot to copy it first.
Anyway, gist was ...... my diet pity party has gone on for way too long (almost 3 years) ... and I'm at the heaviest I have EVER been :(
So, given that it's almost Spring, shall we do this ? Shall we rock ?

Hi Shelley!
We had the same goal when you first starting blogging years ago...to be "Smokin Hot Again" 
and WE DID IT! I've gained ALL of my weight back and am disgusted. I took a pic of myself and put it on my fridge...that's my motivation. So I understand your frustration. I'm going to start blogging regularly again. This site was a big part of the reason I met my goal. I know you can do it Shelley!

Hey!
Nope...I'm not back posting on EP(at least not yet :-P ), but can totally identify with where you are coming from! I'm up a size from my lowest in clothes, but thankfully...not back to my highest. Still no excuse for me though. I think 2 or 3 years ago when the banking/financial industry was hit so hard, we were working so much overtime trying to keep our banks/clients that our company does business with happy and on board, and it became easy to fall out of the habit of something that I enjoyed so much! I miss preparing for half marathons...I probably would do well to make it 3-4 miles right now! But as you say...baby steps...and I need to start before the heat sets in, or I won't start!
I guess with all the other social media that has come along since we all were on EP, a lot of people have ventured away from EP interaction...me included. Glad we have gotten to stay in touch through email and Facebook...and getting to meet you and Corey when you came to Memphis to do the St. Jude half with us...that was so much fun!
