Halfway thru week two

This is a mid week update.....as I haven't been keeping a record. I now weigh 291.2lbs so I have stayed the same which is great.
Life is busy and fun at the moment. Foster son is hard work and so is bio family! I am not thinking about food as much and I am taking 2000mg of Omega 3 as it is said to raise the metabolism by boosting the thyroid gland....we shall see. I am also taking Green tea Capsules daily to do the same thing. I need a lot of water in the morning to take the pills as they are like horse pills!!!

Exercise is still non-existent although I do go for walks sometimes! Running up and down stairs is sometimes exercise enough or so I keep telling myself.
I will try and update again on Tuesday and , hopefully, post a weight loss for the week.

Week 2

As I sit here eating a home made granola bar....absolutely yummy, I weigh 290.6lbs so down again. This weight loss lark is so easy, NOT. I have done this before, got complacent and forgotten to be sensible in food choices and exercise, hah exercise not got there yet, don't know if I will....back issues don't you know!

Penultimte day of week 1

I am 291.8lbs today....I feel should have a string wound round my neck as I have been up and down so much!! Okay for those who are pondering my last remark....YoYo dieting (gettit?)

Tomorrow is the weeks weigh in and I shall see how I have done. On a traditional diet I woul
d lose 5-8lbs in the week but then be depressed when I only lost 1-2 the next week. This way I should lose 1-2 weekly and it wll be yucky fat and not water (I hope)

My week has been okay, diet wise, still a long way to go until I can trust myself in a room filled with Boston Cream Donuts or Cadbury Buttons! I am feeling positive because I know what my weaknesses are and what my strengths are or at least I hope I do. I am strong mentally,I am hard working, I am loving,patient and kind.I have a wacky sense of humour and can be reduced to tears over cruelty to anmals and children.

I do have a weakness for good chocolate, oh who am kidding, any chocolate! Especially if combined with a Lord of the Rings or Destination Truth marathon. Aragorn and Josh Gates are another two of my weaknesses!! Fortunately I have a wonderful husband who doesn't mnd a bit as he has a little crush on Arwen!!

So tomorrow I will either be cheering or crying into my tea ( dash of milk, no sugar ) and will ,of course, lay it all bare here for your delictation...so to speak!!

Day 6

Okay, today's weight is 292.6lbs so up a little on yesterday but still down overall! Sunday lunch of roast pork, fresh veggies and spuds. I will try and ease of on the roasties but who can tell what primevil urge will come over me when sitting at the table?
Had a lovely day with Dontay yesterday and ate tempura chicken for the first time ( I know I know I have led a very sheltered life!)
This week has been an eye opener for me as I have seen what has been going in my mouth and what effects it has had on my body......
Maybe next week will be better, we shall see.

Day 5

Shortpost today. Weight 292.2, gain of 1lb. Not surprised, but onwards and upwards or rather downwards! Not a bad day diet wise but a great day in Nanaimo with the baby, lots of bonding and giggles!

Day 4

Okay, I weighed 291.2 this morning, a small gain but what the hay!! It happens.
I have not eaten sensibly at all today....macdonalds breakfast but I did have a diet coke! 4 mars bars and a kit kat for lunch and snack so that was nutritious and full of natural vitamins!!
Sometimes I amaze myself with what I can consume on a daily, nay, hourly basis and so that is obviously why I am fat....doesn't take Einstein to figure that out eh?
Tomorrow will be better as the choc I bought to last a few days has been eaten and the family are all home this weekend so I won't be able to buy stuff without them seeing and wanting!
Tomorrows weight should be interesting. On a positive note I did take the dogs for a half hour hike through Cherry Creek and behind the school this afternoon, maye did it out of guilt for eating so much but also the dogs enjoyed it. Must do it more often( yeah right)
That is all for today, lots for you all to marvel at or maybe comiserate with....

Day 3

Okay..weight today 291.0lbs Another loss although I am very surprised after last night. I went to Freya's cabaret evenng at school at ate a chocolate crepe with cream and a yummy chocolate mousse!!! I did save the strawberry tart for Daniel though!
The good thing about not following a specific diet is that I can have a treat if I want to and I don't feel guilty. I also don't feel the need to have treats because I don't have some plan telling me that they are naughty or forbidden. I guess it is all about moderation in all things.

Hallelujah I have seen the light!

Seriously, I know all the theory about weight loss, if it has been invented then I have attempted it and usually failed at it long term! Maybe ths time, by being sensible and not judgemental (of myself) I will win this battle and then win the war?

Day 2


Today's weight is 291.8lbs. A loss of 1.4lbs...I know it is water weight but still!!Yesterday I did have a whole solid "choc" rabbit from Walmart and did sort of enjoy it! But there is only cooking choc in the house now, I will try to avoid it but I have been known to eat that when desperate...oops!

First Day

Today is the first day of the rest of my life....how many times have I said that in my 44 years ? My guess is too many. Well, today with lots of thought and second guessing, I have decided to be honest with myelf and everyone else in my life. So here go's......I am MORBIDLY OBESE. I weigh
.....wait for it, are you all sitting down? 293.2lbs or for my British guys 20 stone 13.2lbs.
OUCH.
I have always been the jolly fat girl.I have always been the clown, the one to make jokes about my size before anyone else can. I am sick of not finding clothes I like in my size. I want to enjoy the summer and not sweat so much I get sore. I want to go kayaking with Dan. I want to enjoy life.
To paraphrase Spiderman's Uncle...with great honesty comes great responsibility so I am being completely honest,and if I have eaten a whole family bag of M and M's then I will tell all!!
In the words of Yodo, who cold probably lose a few pounds himself, Do or Do Not, There Is No Try. I will do, I will lose.
