Still going at it
I’m still here. Going at my weight loss, struggling, but still trying.
Here are some things I’ve done in 2012:
1. Signed up at the local aquatic center. I’m a member now and am swimming at least 3-5 times a week. It’s so hard to make myself go. The first day I went, I was so embarrassed. I sat in the dressing room scared to death to make an appearance. It was humiliating....

Will this be the year?
I hope so.
I’ll do a weigh-in tomorrow and check back in.
Not only did I not lose weight in 2011, I put about 60 pounds on.
I can blame stress, but the fact is, I was a glutton. I didn’t take care of myself.
This year, I hope to take better care of myself. No matter how my life fails to make me happy. (I know I’m facing some pretty severe challenges...

One Twenty Five: The Paleo Diet: So Easy, A... →
I plan on doing this. I have the list and I am going to join her and see what happens. Maybe this is the answer? I dunno. It’s gonna be hard not to have dairy because I adore dairy.

I was asked to be a model!
Okay, they probably ask all their customers to model in their fashion shows, but I was asked by a plus size shop to model in their store show tomorrow!
It still made me feel good.
I said no. I’m just not ready for something like that - yet!
I think next time, I will say yes.

I've lost 51 pounds!
Can you believe it? I can hardly believe it!
Look at this picture - that’s 50 pounds of sugar! I was walking around carrying all that every single day. No wonder my legs don’t ache like they used to.
On one hand, I look at how far I still have to go to lose 100 more pounds and it’s disheartening. I have another year at least to see that goal, and I’m sure I’ll have to step up the exercise...

My plan for the Easter Weekend
I am planning a low-carb menu for the Holiday. It will do everyone good. My husband is loosing weight with me. He has lost 32 pounds! Which isn’t fair because I’ve been working on this since November and he’s been working on it since two months ago.
I’m going to teach myself how to make a low-carb cheesecake. I’m also planning on making deviled eggs, a meat dish and...
Today's Weigh-In
I am completely impressed with myself that I’m still loosing weight. I don’t even remember to eat sometimes - which is so opposite of my compulsive overeating personality.
That’s not to say I’m not tempted. I am. But you know what helps me?
Pickles.
Go figure.
Crunchy, dill pickles.
I need them. I love them. They are my kryptonite.
I have now lost a total of 36...

In Which I Am Awesome
Today I exercised HARD. And now I want to puke.
But, I realized as I got out of the shower today that I used to be completely out of breath just taking a shower.
And now, I can walk FAST and HARD on a treadmill for 20 minutes.
Amazing the change one year and thirty pounds can make.
I also got my period today, which is something morbidly obese don’t get very often. I know it’s...

Woot! And need some encouragement.
I am still at the exact same weight as the last time I posted. I’m not happy about that.
BUT. I am down a whole SIZE in my clothes! I am now wearing some clothes I haven’t worn in two years!
WOOT!!
But I feel myself slipping. I am hungry. I am missing the comfort of food. I am getting bored.
Food was my best friend. And I miss it.
Any suggestions?

Another humiliating fat experience...
Someone called me the other day and said, “I’ve lost a bunch of weight and I wondered if you wanted my clothes.”
Boy did that make my day.
Then, someone else called and told me everything they thought I should know about eating healthy.
Why do people feel entitled to talk to fat people this way? Do I call them and say, “You know, your sense of style is frumpy, this is...
NOTE TO UN-FAT PEOPLE:
mylifeinthefatlane:
You do not have to tell fat people they are fat. They already know.
You do not need to tell fat people what to eat. They know what to eat. If they had the time and finances to eat that way, most of them would. I know this is true because I am fat. Don’t tell me what you don’t know.
Not all fat people are lazy. In fact, some people are fat because they are too busy to take...
Another Reason
The other day I had to go to a store where they wait on you one at a time. The only chairs they had were the kind with arms. You know, arm chairs.
I didn’t fit in them.
I am writing this so that I can remember that I am way over average in size.
Not that you can forget something like that. Ever.
Still Hanging In There!
I’m still hanging in here. I am not doing 100% great, but I am changing with baby steps the lifestyle I have lived.
One of the things I’m changing is to simply move more. I don’t like to move. It’s strange, I know. I just would rather do sedentary activities such as read, write, watch movies, etc. Movement is hard for me at my size.
Case in point: I am completely...
V Magazine preview: Coco a Go-Go by Karl Lagerfeld →
I love pictures like this. I love showing them to my husband. I’m not sure why. I guess because they validate me as a fat girl.
So I Weighed Myself
And I’m twenty pounds lighter than I thought.
Before I get too excited, I think I’ll weigh myself at the docs this week. Although, I am hesitant to do that with the germs floating around.
So cool to loose 20 pounds in one day! LOL.
Should I just go with this weight (it’s an expensive scale) and track the progress by it? What say you?
Today's Progress
Today I joined http://sparkpeople.com
I’m hoping it will help remind me that this weight-loss dream has to be a PRIORITY. It can’t be like a hobby, or just one more thing on my to-do list. It has got to be something I become obsessed with until my goals are met, and/or I change my habits permanently.
Right now I’m trying to decide whether to go low-carb or low-calorie. I...

I Haven't Posted Lately
Because I really didn’t have a success to post. But I am thinking about it more, which is more than I did in the past.
And I have had a few teeny tiny successes. Not many, but a few.
There have been times I have been a little bored in the evening and instead of eating I got busy doing something else. That is only because I’m thinking about this more.
I’m thinking about...
I Wish I liked Vegetables
1. I don’t like cooked spinach. Really, any cooked greens. I know that there are a lot of people talking about Kale and how good it is, but to be honest, I’m terrified of it.
2. I don’t like asparagus. I have not tried it and I will not.
3. I don’t like cooked cauliflower. I will eat it raw, same as spinach. But no way will I eat it cooked.
4. I don’t like...
