hot veggie pocket with cheese (460 cals)

I just can’t keep up with writing every day like I planned. I keep track of my food, but I’ve had no free time to use the computer lately to blog. Long shifts, and I’ve been going out at night a lot more than usual lately. (The alcohol calories are killing my diet!!!)
My sister just [...]

I just got home from a 16 hour shift. Left home at 5:30am and just got home at midnight. Sooooo tired. So, I’ve missed some blogging, but I’m just gonna give the short version. No food journal for the past few days … I’ve been using Daily Plate for that just to keep track of [...]

I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday. Went out with boyfriend after my 12 hour shift and then went straight to bed. So, I’m not even gonna bother posting my food journal. I tracked it at the Daily Plate website at least. Overall, not a bad day. I should be back later to post today’s [...]

I just want to defend myself after the comment I just got about being anorexic. I NEVER said I was fat. I specifically said I was not fat. I said I was more comfortable in my body when I was 10 lbs lighter. 5′5″ 125 lbs is not anorexic!!! I think that 125 lbs is [...]

Out of control!!!!!!
 Today was soooooo bad. I didn’t know people could consume  as many calories as I did today. At least I had fun!!! I think I picked a bad week to start this weight loss thing. Not giving up though.

 OK. I survived Day 1. Left for work at 5:30am and got home at 8:15pm. I work 12 hour shifts, and I have a long commute. I think that’s a pretty good excuse to skip formal exercise on work days.  At least I am on my feet for those 12 hours (I’m a nurse).
I think [...]

Hi! My name is Suzanne, and I have decided that it’s time to do something about my weight. I have gained over 10 lbs since last summer, and I am not happy with my body. I am not fat, but I do have extra weight on me that makes me uncomfortable in my own body. I [...]
