I want to start off by saying how much i appreciate all the chickies who support me with comments on my blog. I really appreciate everyone’s encouragement and suggestions. I also appreciate reading all your blogs. It so helpful to read about other people’s weight loss stories.

This has to be my last day off plan. I am self-sabotaging in the other direction. Now that i am focusing on my course work i am letting my diet go. Topsy-turvey! I so need psychotherapy. I just can’t figure out why i can only focus on one thing at a time. I have seriously [...]

But… this evening she has had a reaction to one the shots. Swelling of her face, her ears & around her eyes, even her [...]

Yup, another day of self-sabotage. I am doing great on my diet and exercise, so of course i have to sabotage some other part of my life, school. This not good. It’s my last semester and i have so much work to do. I really should be in psychotherapy.
I did enjoy laying up and reading [...]

Today was one of those days where i seemed to be eating all day. I kept track tho, and i did pretty well on calories. I just made sure to eat small amounts each time.
The kids were eating my pizza that i saved when i got up this morning, so that was out, i was [...]
