I think I need to start again.
I've gotten really off track. And I've let the negative thoughts in my head determine how far I will go with my weight loss. I have a lot of stuff I need to work through...I am planning on re-starting everything in April for a couple of different reasons. First, It's a fresh start. The idea that it is spring and a new month will hopefully help lighten my perception on everything, and maybe my mood will be lifted. Second, I need to get my priorities in order. I want to be the best I can be, but I still lack the drive and determination to do so. I don't want my daughter to grow up with a mother who isn't a good role model. So I hope I can build myself up...I'm sick of failing this battle.

I've Found It!!!
Ok, for months I've been tracking down some websites that have calorie counters and websites that have the amount of calories in everyday foods. The link is http://caloriecount.about.com/ and this one: http://www.caloriecontrol.org/others.html gives you a pretty accurate calorie calculator which determines how many calories needed in a day to maintain a healthy weight. What I do, is subtract a few pounds off of my regular weight, type it in to the calorie calculator, and then I strive to meet that intake everyday. If you decide that this is the best way for you to lose weight,I don't suggest subtracting a thousand calories from your intake in one go because its a major shock on the body. If you lose weight too fast, you won't keep it on and you could damage your metabolism. (Or so I've read).
Anyways, Enjoy fighting the good fight.

I'm Hungry.
My biggest vice is eating at night....I have to take anti-depressants, and one of the side effects is an increased appetite. So, I'm not going to stuff my face, but I am going to have a banana. I need more willpower, and maybe some motivation. If anyone has some out there, mail to me or something.

This week has been hard.
Ok, I'll be the first one to admit that I have a hard time keeping commitments to myself. I'm been trying to say 'no' to all the glorious food I love so much, but last week I gave in and went to mcdonalds. I felt horrible afterwards, even though i got the McChicken instead of the double 1/4 pounder with cheese. I still managed to lose a pound...I'm not really seeing any results. I'm still feeling very tired and my jeans are still very tight. I guess I have to be more patient with myself and work harder....bleg.

I'm Feeling The Burn!! muhahahaha
Yesterday I actually organized my workout, so instead of running up and down the stairs, I did some cardio and weight training. I felt fantastic afterwards! Usually, I need to take a nap during the day, but I felt like I could take on the world!
I'm taking small steps in my daily routine to a healthier lifestyle as well..yesterday I carried my groceries home instead of taking a cab home..hard work, especially with my three year old in tow! I swear I had to put the bags down every two minutes because she was busy playing in the snow. It was a very enduring experience and maybe a metaphorical one too. If I can balance bags upon bags of groceries while playing with my daughter I can do anything I set my mind to. Although my arms are very sore and stiff today, I'm proud of myself! Workout hangovers are the best...they don't create guilt.

Figuring this exercise business out---Help??!
So I went on a couple of websites today trying to find a calorie counter for my weight and how many calories I need to burn in order to lose weight. 3500 calories burned is 1 pound! So if I burn 1000 calories every day, I will lose 10 pounds a week. However, I remember coming across this calorie calculator from the biggest loser website and I haven't been able to locate it since...it's driving me nuts!!! Does anyone know where I can find this?

Why Am I Here?
After googling this page, I asked myself "how could I let myself get to this point?" I never thought I would baloon to the weight I am now because I have always teetered at around 130-140 lbs.
I was always known as 'the chubby kid', but I was never fat. It wasn't until I turned 16 that the pounds started creeping up on me. I've always loved food, but I was very active too. Everyday I would walk almost a mile and a half to school regardless of the weather conditions.
I'm a mother now, but countless days of stuffing my face late at night have caused me to balloon to 215 lbs. I only own 2 pairs of pants that properly fit me...my other pants have broken zippers or holes in them. I refuse to just 'give in' and go to plus size stores to buy a new wardrobe. I wish I could just be skinny again! I used to be proud of how I looked, now everytime I look in a mirror I cringe.
So I need to change...hopefully this time I won't give up.
