Sorry, Been While Since I Last Posted

Well, yesterday was weigh in day.  I didn't do well all week on my food; however, I still lost.  When I eat something I know I'm not supposed to have I try to balance.  I know realistically you have to cheat once in awhile or you are never going to stay on the diet, right?  When I cheat, I just cut back on the next meal and make sure I toe the line the next day.  I am down about 22 lbs., but what is amazing is how the weight has redistributed.  I have never lost 20 lbs and gone down 2 clothing sizes.  Used to be that when I lost 20 lbs. I never went down one size in clothing.

Love it!

Hello Everyone

Diet is kind of all over the place.  I've been sick and had a cough for 2 weeks so I finally broke down and went to Prompt Care yesterday.  I have a sinus infection and fluid on the ear.  So, I am on an antibiotic, cough pill and nasal spray.  Don't feel like eating and when I do I want toast or something else that is comforting. That is not on the diet.  Oh well, hopefully once the meds start to kick in I will feel like getting back on track.

Hope this finds you all well.

Another Day

Well, today is Sunday. It is 6:15 p.m. and I have not eaten anything today. I have supper going.  I have been sick with this cough that just keeps hanging on. I took Nyquil last night.  I know how it affects me but I couldn't help it, I wanted to sleep. I slept the clock around and then some.  So, now I'm sitting here waiting for supper to get done, hoping I don't pig out, but I'm really not hungry.  Bu that could change.  I promised my son Cole I would make twice baked potato casserole.  Oh my goodness, heaven!  Not on my diet but I figure I am saving some calories because I haven't eaten all day.  I know I shouldn't and I know I'm making excuses.  I am a big  believer that diets don't work.  I think they are a foundation to get started but let's face it folks, we are all going to cheat - we are human.  It has to be a balancing act.  When I am at work I follow it pretty closely, but on the weekends I'm going to eat a little.  Then I know I'm going to stick to it.  If you are constantly deprived pretty soon you are going to say the hell with it.

Have a good week everyone.  If you are struggling and need encouragement email me at :

Well It's a New Year

I weighed in yesterday and was so depressed.  I gained 5 lbs. over the holidays.  So instead of a 22 lb. loss I am back down to 18 lbs.  I started crying I was so depressed.  Joen, where I weigh in gave me a hug and said it's a new year, you just started coming in here.  Just get back on course.  I so appreciate her.  And you know what, I did get back on course today and feel pretty good.  I am going to get this weight off.

Please let me know if you are strugging as well.  I would love to hear your story.
