Is anybody listening?

Oh well, I am still tryiing but I guess not dedicated enough...I am still stuck in the 70's.

I have not given up!

YUP, I am still at it. I get to a point and become stuck. I am at a lost for words not sure what to say anymore. Just wanted to post here that I have not given up...I am still on the diet roller coaster and will continue. Just taking a lot longer to reach my goal.

Fat Fasting is not for me

OK, It has been a while since you have heard from me. But I have not given up the battle. I am still struggling and juggling at this point. I did attempt to do the Fat Fast but there was no drastic weight loss, not like I was expecting. The diet consisted of 5 -200 calorie meals. Can you imagine Boiled Eggs and Mayonnaise, Deviled Eggs with Mayonnaise, Cream Cheese, Heavy Whipping cream? Strange items but I tried to endure. For what I weighed in at 169....that is correct 169 I have finally gotten under the 170's that alone is such a motivation for me. It makes me try harder and to be very very conscious of what I put into my mouth. Problem with that? I wake up thinking I will do Fat Fasting, then mid day I decide rather do Atkins..then by evening I say hmmm weight watcher and the kicker is I then eat something with Carbs. Go figure so far I have been able to maintain. I have not lost anymore but I am still trying.

I am still working toward m y first goal.

Fat Fasting? Dare I do it?

OK, being snowed in can be costly. Before the snow I weighed in at 171....now I am sitting at 176....dang gained 5 pounds. It is so hard to stay on target. I sat in and ate things I would never normally eat. Peanut Butter Balls? They would have been OK if I did not eat so many of them. If you have never had one you don't know what you are missing. Ummm really good. Valentines day oh boy I really went overboard and had Alcohol and Chocolate covered pretzels I think that is what sent me over the top. I decided to read the Atkins Revolution book again and noticed for the first time chapter 20 which talks about Fat Fasting. Now Fat Fasting is a dangerous Fast according to the book. I am so determined to do this....but should I? At what cost? I am losing sleep on this one I really want to do it. I mean I want to do it if it will do as it says it does in the book. The book says the rate of weight loss is dangerous it is too fast. Dare I do it?

Now I am stuck in the 70's this can't be happening!

OK, 22 days later and I am still in the 170's???????? this can't be happening. Remember I stayed stuck in the 80's for ever. I don't understand how I continue to do this to myself. Why is it I cannot stay focused and stick with whatever diet/life style change I have decided to work with? What is wrong with me. I think I am so focused and so diet conscious I forget what works and what does not. I jump to whatever I hear about or think might work better. Glamour presented a cleansing diet on TV yesterday on the Wendy Williams show. I know I should stay with what I am doing but I now want to change to that one. What am I going to do? There has to be others out there like me. Am I the only one stressing about weight? Stressing tends to add weight so I will never get done. But continue I must I will not give up. It could be worse I coul dbe saying I am back in the 80's.

I have managed to lose a total of 13 pounds and still trying.

OK, It has been more then 4 weeks since I was motivated to write on this blog. I have not given up, My journey continues. I have managed to lose a total of 13 pounds and I am still trying. I had to change up a little and moved away from weight watchers to Atkins. I needed to jump start my diet and I find Atkins a good way of doing it. It seemed that I was moving in the wrong direction and it was becoming embarrassing to me. I do have a down side with this diet my stomach is gurgling loudly all the time. I hate to be near anyone because of all the Gas I have going on in there. Well I guess it is worth it as long as I reach my goal. I still have 20-30 pounds to go but as I stated before I will continue to work hard until I achieve my goal. I had a birthday last month and to my surprise my husband gifted me with a Treadmill??????? from my husband????????? LOL that is one of those things that make you go hmmm! What was my husband trying to tell me not sure what the message was here. I have started to use it this week I hope it works for me. I will keep you posted.

I lost something but it was not weight..........

Well it has been a long time since I published anything on this blog. Sometimes no news means good news. But for me that is not true. My brother-n-law passed away on Oct 3...and I have been eating every since. I think I am a stress eater and get this, I did not even know I was stressing. So much for knowing yourself. By the time I attended the funeral and stayed a week to support my sister I have gained 10 pounds, Can You beleive that 1 week and 10 pounds gained. So I have spent an entire month trying to lose those pounds and have managed to lose 6 pounds. I think for me the process is for ever. Who ever heard of getting on the scale 2 and 3 times a day. It is a wonder that I am not insane. LOL or am I ? I just started back to walking...2 days in so far. I know walking and or movement is very important but for some reason I had shut down on all things good. OK so here I go again I will not give up. One thing about me I will keep going until I reach my goals. Followers please keep me motivated. Post some comments to my blog.
