This is where you come in, dear reader

So, I'm having a hard time lately. I'm having weird cravings, I don't know if it's a pms thing or not since my lady parts are wildly unpredictable, but my boobs do seem bigger overnight so maybe it is. But I haven't been tracking and I've been a mess.

This is where having this blog really comes in handy. I feel accountable to my readers, I feel like if I were to stop writing tomorrow and give up on all of this and gain back the near 80 lbs I've lost, I wouldn't only be disappointing myself.

 I know there are plenty of you out there who are struggling just like me, and I assume that since that makes the struggle a little less painful for me, that knowing I'm out here struggling maybe makes it a little less painful for you too. None of us would wish obesity on anyone else I think, but, sometimes it feels nice to know that you aren't alone.

I'm still working crazy days. I had an 11 day stretch this time before I had a day off. Before that it was a 14 day stretch. I haven't had more than 1 day off a week (if I'm lucky) in almost three months now.  It's getting easier, and once we actually have some groceries it will be easier still.

Soon I'll have two days off a week. It was just a bad day. I'm not even sure why, I did't eat much. I think though I should not have had tortilla chips with my lunch. I shared one basket with a friend, but still I feel horrible about it. I even took half my meal home and had it for dinner, and that along with  some chex cereal was all I had today. I feel huge though.

But it's just a fat day I suppose. We all have them now and again. 
I think he's talking about me! ;)

Anyhow, tomorrow is a new day. Hell, right now is a new moment. I just need to brush myself off and get back to sparking. I will be in the two-teens in no time.

How do you cope with fat days? How do you keep them from turning into fat weeks or fat months?

    I've been having a few fat days recently-not in a row, but far too close together for my liking. I had 6 days of eating crap food prepared for me (rather than prepare it myself) and it threw me completely off. Plus bad decisions last night-when she asked curly or straight fries, I should have asked if I could have gotten stir fried veggies or something instead!!!

    I usually call it my cheat day and start over the next day, soups helped me get back on track earlier this week. Choosing a recipe full of veggies, I think, is good. I've been meaning to try juicing, but I don't have a juicer, nor any idea of how.

    Today's been full of eating and it's only 11:20. Blegh. It's also hot and uncomfortable, I need a shower, but I don't want to take one until I do my workout. And I don't want to do my workout yet! *whines* Thanks for listening and I hope that I've helped you!

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop...

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or ...

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz  << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b...
