I can't seem to get this going. This is such a silly addiction. I think i should go to AA meetings and tell them i drink Ice cream sandwiches. The first step is to admit you have a problem... Then you have to want to fix it. That is as far as I know. I know how to do it - I just can't seem to make myself.
I'm back at the 300 mark. We have been friends for at least 12 yrs now. I'm getting too old to be this heavy. It's like every time i think asbout losing weight, I have to go eat all the 'good' stuff before someone takes it away from me.
So here it is - coming up on another birthday, (or monday, or 1st of the month) and Vacation is 7 months away. You know, that trip home to visit family that I never take because I'm embarrassed to be so fat. I've got a nice bit of time to set a reasonable goal. Let's see what I can do...

So after six months of eating out for lunch almost everyday, I gained back all the weight I had lost plus some - i'm thinking I jumped up a good 35 lbs.
I'm not much a tv watcher - it seems even at $50 a month for "service" there is still nothing on- but i kill some time with it once in a while. Last weekend i caught the tail end of a show called Heavy. (It seems that people can take six months out of life and go somewhere where they re-learn the right way to eat and exercise and get some therapy to gain insight and control over their eating or something like that). Anyway, the point is that there was an older woman - not sure of her age but her oldest kid was 41. By the end of her six months she was using a cane instead of the scooter she arrived on and everyone was so proud of the 65 lbs she had lost. I was thinking, "wow, she must have been huge because she still looks pretty dang fat to me." Then they posted her starting and ending weight. Her starting weight was one lb LESS that where my recent weight gain had taken me!
I've been fat for a long time but as of yet I haven't really had any obvious health issues because of it. I get around fine, normal blood pressure, blood sugar, ect. But as I get older, i'm beginning to feel the wear and tear on my knees and I'm concerned about what this is doing to my heart. i watched that lady riding a scooter at 312 lbs and saw myself showing up at my baby's high school graduation on a scooter.
I'm going low carb and have had a good week. I've had several false starts over the last 6 months and this is the best i've done. This first week was me shedding all that retained fluid (you have no idea how many lunches i have been spending at the Chinese buffet near my job). I feel good about my great start, I hope to continue to do this well. I'm not looking at the pounds lost at this point but at the behavior change. that's where the challenge lies, the pounds will follow.

Time to get started again. Almost lost sight of that wagon I fell off of :) I start my new job tomorrow and rather than spending the last month losing weight for it I have eaten like crazy and gained a lot. I'm not sure how much, my scale isn't working right. No worries, I can lose without it.

dear Journal, Sorry I have been gone away so long. Life has been really smacking me around a bit this last month and I have let it knock me off plan. Out of guilt, I have been ignoring both you and my food diary.
getting a lay-off notice wasn't a good deal and I had a really hard time with it because I am senior in the department and I am the only one out the door. Can't help but take that personally, especially when the stubborn woman who won't learn anything new and insists on doing things her old-school way and the crack-head girl get to stay.... just a little bitter.
The second round of extra stress hit last weekend when someone came into my house during the night and took my laptop and iphone from my dining room table while i was home and in bed. thankfully (and oddly) my purse, which was right there, wasn't touched. We believe it was my daughter's friend who did it, he is on the lam, and I am left with wondering how involved my daughter was. He was more of a friend of a friend kind of thing and she says she had no idea he was in trouble. He had stopped by earlier that day and i saw him checking out the computer. Did I mention that I am an accountant and it was my business computer? That I have 10 clients tax information on that computer? With losing my phone and my computer, i have lost all my contact information. I have learned a very expensive lesson about securing my valuables, backing things up, and trusting everyone. It's only cost $1400 so far - i just hope the theives wipe it clean before they realive the value of the data on the computer.
THe good news is that I have another job. It's a better job and I'm not even unemployed yet! I will work the old job 3 more weeks, take a week off then start the new one 10/18. I am very excited about the change. I am going to get back on plan and see if i can lose some weight in the 4 weeks before I start.
