Oh gawd I just got spammed here, big time. I changed my settings so it should go away hopefully. 17 comments on one post, wow! I was pretty psyched until I realized what it was.
The soft shell jacket/coat from LL Bean is a dud, I ordered the large, but it was too big… normally [...]
I’m nervous the weight will come back. I like being smaller, I really really do and want to do whatever it takes to stay this way. I have this fear that all my hard work will go up in smoke, like it’s all a dream and I’ll have to go back to wearing big clothes, [...]
DH and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary Tuesday by hiking up a mountain. The last time we went hiking together was on our wedding trip, so it really felt like a big deal.
A year ago the thought of doing something active wouldn’t have crossed my mind. The usual celebratory ritual: dinner, a movie, and [...]
My LL Bean jackets came in the mail, and they look good! I’m excited to try them out on a chilly day. The black one, which I got to replace my oversized puffy coat from last year, is warm enough (supposedly) to wear in all but the coldest weather. It’s a little loose in the [...]
154.5 today. My weight is holding steady in the mid-150’s, which is a huge relief to me now that I’m on hiatus from the diet. No measuring, counting calories, tracking… nada. I’m going rogue!
But seriously, maintaining this weight in a “normal” way is a really big deal to me. I’m nervous, but also kind of [...]
I just ordered this jacket from LL Bean. Yay! The winter coat I got last winter, size 1X, was too big on me even at my heaviest weight. The color, a dull grayish dirt color that made me feel invisible, is NOT the look I’m going for any more. Uh-uh. So I boxed up the [...]
I’m already feeling like a total loser for (see previous post)… I’m not giving up, I’m not I’m not I’m not. Oh, how I hate my all-or-nothing thinking.
I have decided to take my foot off the gas for a while, until I get comfortable at my new weight. Much to my surprise a few old eating disorder patterns cropped up in the past few weeks. What the–? I thought I was cured for crying out loud! I suppose that getting close [...]
+2.5 lbs. (Sigh…)
Somehow I’m not surprised by the scale creeping up a little in the past week. My trip to NM threw my plan out of whack, and I’ve been lazy about tracking my food intake and calories since my return. A few small binges, too… ugh. The fact that I ate Mexican food every [...]
I made the eggplant dish last night. I had to call my mom to clarify a few details, but it turned out great! DH loved it. I changed it a little by topping it with tomato sauce and fresh grated parmesan cheese. It used up 3 (small) eggplants, and I have 5 more. Maybe I’ll [...]
