starting over, almost 40, 320 lbs, the heaviest I’ve ever been

getting back on track

ok, maybe this sounds crazy, but for the last week I have been easing back into the healthier eating lifestyle like it was a hot bath.  One toe in…….. ok maybe now the other toe (etc)
this weekend I replaced the scale.  It was a good motivator for me when it wasn’t making me nuts.  The [...]

ok, no recriminations

I’ve been gone about a month and I got off track.  It was hot, I was hurt, it happens.  By I like that metaphor that if you’re walking somewhere important and you realize that you’ve gone the wrong way for awhile do you say “well, that’s it, guess I better go home, to heck with [...]

I binged, I’m discouraged

I don’t know what happened - I was trying to listen to my body, I was so hungry that I just kept eating and eating.  I would eat a portion and then wait to see if I felt full - but I still felt hungry!  It was the weirdest binge I ever had.  I ate [...]

my body is fighting me

My body is fighting the weight loss.  I am achey and tired and hungry all the time.  I’m retaining water and I don’t want to exercise and I’m very cranky - I guess that means I’m doing something right.
sorry for all the mini posts, I’m just trying to do something constructive instead of eat.

feeling discouraged

I know its not my official WI yet, but I hopped on the scale for a mid week peek and it is showing the same number as Sunday … and it made me feel a little discouraged.  I know that it may yet pick up before Sunday - it is only Wednesday after all, but [...]

Really sore this morning

I just ache all over.  My hips hurt so much I had to get out of bed before the alarm went off because I could not lay on them anymore.  My knees hurt, my legs hurt, my back hurts.  I can’t remember being this sore for awhile and I don’t understand.  I only did a [...]

I guess I needed a nap

I guess I was feeling overwhelmed, to many things on my plate - to many changes.
I took a nap and I feel a little better.

(tantrum) I DONT WANT TO EXERCISE ANYMORE!!!!

I am SO tired of getting up and pushing myself to exercise!  I am sick of it! sick of it!  I am tired of being sweaty, of stinking!  I am tired of my knee popping in and out and my back and butt hurting!  I am tired of hills seeming like mountains and people looking [...]

Not feeling motivated to day, gotta push through

post holiday weekend malaise I guess.  Just not feeling like exercising.  I think I also feel overwhelmed.  I have all these things staring me in the face that need to get done.  Housework, DD exercise plan, my exercise plan, preparing for school in the fall, money troubles.  sigh.  I get to anxious thinking about the [...]

weird fear of success/failure

Since this is where I go to post feelings so I don’t bottle them up and then eat myself silly, I’m gonna try talking about this again.
I am afraid.  I am afraid this is all a trick and that I’m not really losing weight and that I’m not gonna lose anymore because I haven’t been [...]
