Finally I've decided I have no choice but to lose this weight. It's no longer a silly looks issue, it's a health issue. I come home from work and my ankles and feet are so swollen I feel like my skin is going to split.
I no longer have a choice in this matter. I do this, or die an early death. I want children- won't happen at this weight. So I am determined to blog every day, to track every day, and to move my body- every day. I no longer have time for games.
No more "Oh I can just grab this and I can have that." That's over. I will eat my one meal on Friday nights that will be the flex points and that is it. No excuses and no pints of Haagen-Dacz or Ben and Jerry's. I've eaten my share as well as a hundred other people's share of that crap. Fuckin A right.
By the way, if you're reading this blog- I cuss. I'm open and fun but sometimes bitchy and I don't give a shit. Deal with it.

You're right!
Hey, it's your blog, if people don't like what you put here, that's their problem - good luck on the journey and good for you getting on this while you are "younger".
I completely agree with the comment you wrote in my blog. While carbs seem to be the majority of the problem, to live without them or using them very minimally for life just isn't plausible is it? I noticed you are similar in size & height as myself. I too want to try to stick with WW points on my own so I'll check in with you periodically (if that's okay - lol, bitchy or not) and see how you're doing okay?
It's all in our heads you know - only we can make it happen...now if we can just figure out how!
C'mon - let's do this. I've lived life as a 321 lb. woman and a 157 lb. woman and it's night and day, isn't it? Such a vicious cycle: increased weight leads to immobility leads to increased weight gain leads to depression leads to immobility leads to........and on and on. There's more to life.
I have read so many blogs but yours kind of hit home for me! I to am just tired, tired of being tired. Tired of my feet hurting, the pressure that we put on our joints, feet and overall body with the extra weight is not good. The wonderful thing is that we all have a focus and we know what we need and can do. So many times in my life, I have been on a DIET. Why a diet? I am not trying to die. I want to live. So, I look at it as more of a new way of living, healthy living and eating. You keep up the good work! I was on Weight Watchers too, but the point thing was just to much. I have just decided to go the Lowfat route and I am doing really good. Either way we do it is good, just as long as we do it! Oh, and I don't have pics here either, why? I am still fat, once I lose a little more weigth perhaps I will put a pic on here, hmmmm not sure. Well you have a great night and good LUCK to you in everything.
