Life is good....when life is good I eat, when life is not good I eat!! This past week has been cray busy. The baby has had appointments, all 5 dogs had to be groomed this week, Bea had the dentist and I had to fit in taking the baby to his visits as well!. I missed a proper lunch about 5 times and we had takeaway fast food twice this week, which is unheard of for me. We also only had a proper dinner ,maybe, 4 times.
I know, I know, that is no excuse for not eating properly. I like to eat something that is easy to prepare and quick to eat so for me that means biscuits, cold meat, yoghurts and that kind of thing...oh and baking chocolate ( the stuff in big blocks from Walmart..$3 each and quite nice in an emergency) Come on girls I know you have done it too!!!!
I weighed 293.2 this morning so I am back where I started 2 weeks ago. This is totally normal for my dieting life. I have lost weight on WW and I have lost weight at Curves. I also have done the Cambridge Diet, the Atkins Diet, and any other diet you can mention. It is always easy to lose the weight but never easy to keep it off.
I feel that, why should I try to lose weight?. I have a husband who loves me to bits, a home, a lovely career as a foster parent and I am still able to get about and do what I want to do. I do have some health issues, mainly a back problem from 20 years ago when I started nursing, but I cope.
I saw a news article today that said if you have low self esteem then you shouldn't visit Facebook as moaning makes your friends miserable and then they unfriend you!!! Tell me something I didn't know. I left Facebook for a while, and then came back so that I could keep tabs on Ben out in Grande Prairie, but now I am having serious doubts about staying as the posts are boring, moaning or God bothering!! We shall see.!
Okay, enough for now. I think I have finished moaning and so we shall see how many people unfriend me due to my low self-esteem!!! But seriously , how many people take offence when, after posting something on Facebook, nobody comments? More than would care to admit it I bet...
Okay, now that really is enough before I offend the whole of the universe!
Cheerio
I am too overweight....I too have a husband that loves me, a great life, I too love to eat when I am happy, sad, lonely, excited etc.. I too have tried every diet on the planet.....but, I have also found that my relationship with Jesus is far more important then my eating problem, I am now just concentrating on getting closer to Jesus, and praying about my weight issues, I really believe, when I get my priorities right, the rest will follow. I will never get offended or defriend anyone for moaning, or having a self esteem problem, but there is one thing that I will do .....PRAY for you :)
ReplyDeleteLow self esteem. I am hearing a deeply unhappy person in your post and you are asking why you should lose weight? You did say before that you were fed up with your size. So that is one area of your life that it is possible for you to challenge and where "winning" would give you confidence and pride in your accomplishment. THAT leads to self esteem. I guarantee if you take on the challenge of losing weight and succeed your self esteem will go from 0 to 100 and it will affect everything else you do. You won't gain self esteem from losing weight for the reasons you think either...no one cares how big or small you are because they love WHO you are (this is TRUE) but if you are serious about it and you have a good amount of success you will feel so good about the fact that you took on the challenge and that you gained control over something in your life that has been bothering you. THAT is where the self esteem comes from. No one can change your self esteem for you so I encourage you to care about yourself because when you are unhappy the people around you are concerned and affected even if you don't realize it. Hugs and of course you are very correct about the baking chocolate :-), Cara
