The Weigh Ins
Three weeks ago I stepped on the scale at 340.6.
Two weeks ago I was down to 337.8.
So 338.8 was the numbers I earned this week losing weight.
Not bad except I gained 1 lb from last week. I haven't gained all my weight back...which is a good thing.
Well as we know with the wedding of the century coming up and my current income, I'm not able to afford Weight Watchers as this current time. But I hope to get back to it later on. I guess you can say I'm still doing but I'm incorporating another weight loss program into my list of other weight loss solutions.
This one is very very different but I'm really digging it. Its all about being positive to your body and yourself. It believes that in order to help with the weight loss process other things besides losing weight have to be in line. Such as relationships, spiritually, job situation, physical fitness. Its a holistic approach to losing weight. I'm really liking. Its called "Best Life Food Therapy", with my friend Emily! Apparently it seems to be working. I'm eating foods that I would have NEVER thought to try. Such as kale, grains, and believe it or not tofu! She's showing us different ways to cook and eat them. I heart this program along with Emily, she's such a positive person and you can't help but want to soak it all in! Thanks Emily for making me realize that I can regain my life back after such a hand I was dealt. <3 Words can't express how thankful I am for you. I knew something wasn't quite right but you said something that sparked a light bulb and I've been holding true to those words. I won't bore everyone with the details but thanks Emily! I hope I don't sound all stalkish! LOL! :)
Anyways back to me! :) Along with my weight watchers knowledge and best life I'm going to rock it and with my new favoritest game JUST DANCE!! I know I'm late on the craze but hey better late than never!! :) I did it for 40 minutes with Brent and I thought we were going to die! LOL! Its soooooooooooo much fun!! Two thumbs WAY WAY WAY up.
So I was searching for something is my email and I found emails from my Grandma, Aunt Patty, Aunt Holly, Missy, and Allison! It was when I sent Aunt Patty my 100 pounds before and after picture and she forwarded to everyone. I was reading them and it was really motivating! Thanks guys! :) I'm like uber motivated and cleared head and I'm ready to go!
I just feel more positive. I'm working on not belittling myself when the scale doesn't pan out or finances get jacked or something goes haywire. I actually feel it working. Its pretty damn awesome. Well I'll bow out now. So much love...peace!

The Beginning...
AGAIN! I've be trying to start WW again and again and again. This must be my bazillion-ith time starting the program. And for some reason I'm not able to grasp it this time around. I know its a mental thing.
Last night for example. I ate a protein bar and a peach for breakfast. Not bad. Then after that it went all down hill. I decided that doughnuts, no just one but 4, were a good options to eat, then lunch I had a club sandwich, then I went to my future sister in laws umpteenth baby shower and downed a small chicken sandwich, 1/2 cup of pasta salad, and 2 cupcakes! UGH! The I decided after all that needed a 4th meal at midnight! So I went to taco bell with my friends. And just gorge myself in greasy high point foods.
And now the day after, as always, I am left with regret and such. I'm like I could have done a heck of alot better! But for some reason I'm not getting past this mental block.
Here is a little background. I've been on WW for 2 and half years on and off. What started this whole thing was my mom being diagnosed with diabetes, and my determination not to get it continued my quest my loss a 100 pounds in the first year and half. Then I went through a nasty break up, a huge move, yucky roommates times 2, unfulfilling jobs times 2, and then a depression. And that was a year ago I was medicated for it. Which I was given paxil and I later found out that put on weight and honestly I didn't really care. Then the medicine wasn't working proper for me mentally. So I took myself off it. Things begin to turn around. During this whole depression I was dating this amazing guy, who got me the help (along with my amazing friends!) Beginning of this year my guy asked me to marry him, I said yes...duh! Then we moved into together. I got a promotion at work. So I have amazing things going...I've always had amazing things but I'm just rediscovering them again after that stint of depression.
So here I sit with most of the weight I loss turned into a gain. 90 pounds to be exact. Its probably all gained back who knows...we'll find out tomorrow. And I'm not sure why I'm not grasping the concept. Okay well I grasp the concept but its not sticking. I have a wedding in June and I want to look and feel sexy in my dress, like every bride does. But most of my days start off good and then it goes down hill. But I hope airing this and getting off my chest and being a part of these boards again will spark something in me and keep me going!
September 19, 2010 I mark the umpteenth plus 1 times of starting WW and it being the final time. I have a wedding dress to get into! :)
