It’s fate I tell you…
No just kidding- but I’m sure there are times many of us are like “it’s must be my fate to be fat forever!” Sometimes I feel that way- yesterday I did for sure. I got home and felt pretty good, made dinner and started feeling tired, then after dinner that was it I was GONE. I started sneezing and my nose started running and my fever came back and I was just dead. Ended up going to bed very early (8:30) and felt a little better today but still crappy. I felt like dang the cosmo’s are against me! But I weighed in today and was at 214.5 so I guess I haven’t really been overdoing it like I thought. Once again I’m just too hard on myself. My calories yesterday came in at 1550- not bad- but mostly cuz we ate this Bertoli Rustica Lasagna my husband wanted to try- it was good but for such a small portion of food it wasn’t worth it. I loaded up with a large cucumber/tomato/onion/lemon salad so I wouldn’t be starving. My husband ended up cooking a whole BOX of Texas Toast and ate it all! I don’t care for Texas Toast but my husband at all 6 slices in the box- that’s 1200 calories! THEN with the lasagna that was 500 calories (if I remember correctly) in one meal he ate MORE than what I ate all day. Gawd how unfair- I swear my husband probably eats like 3,000 calories a day and is only like 200 lbs but he’s 6′3″!! No wonder he can’t understand that I can’t eat like him- I REALLY can’t- he’s lucky to be blessed with such a great metabolism- I hope all our children have his metabolism!
Anyways- today I’m telling myself that I’m not letting fate get in my way- I make my OWN fate and I’m telling you this girl is gonna be healthy!
Have a great weekend everyone- Happy Father’s Day!
Today’s Menu:
Breakfast What bagel + skinny cow cheese + grape juice: 493 calories
Lunch: El pollo loco salad (-dressing) + 2 flame grilled legs + salsa: 450 calories

So you are an El Pollo Loco girl, are you! yummers!
In so many ways, we CAN control our Fate. You are fated to be a fat woman if you choose to allow yourself to be. Much like a woman who is abused allows it….you determine by your thoughts and behaviors if you are/will stay overweight. Sure, it’s easier said than done re losing the weight, but there is plenty of proof that it can be done! I totally believe you will do it/get there, baby girl!
We choose our own fate and you are not destined to be fat. I dont think any of us are. Look how far you’ve come
I hope you’re feeling better.
I know how you feel. Like even at 160lbs I was in a size 14. I don’t have any good words of wisdom for you, except that the laws of physics apply to everyone. If we do the work the weight will disappear. I’m thinking of starting to do some weight training because it seems to tighten the body. I just need some tips on how to get started.. any clue?
Only thing I can recommend is a trainer for a few months to teach you the basics and teach you to do it the right way. It’s costly but even if it’s like a month worth of training (4 sessions) you’d get the basic idea of what you need to do
