Always trying....

So, I haven't had much to say lately, mainly because it's been a struggle and I feel like you guys are probably sick of hearing me whine.

I'm sick of hearing me whine.

It's been about a week or maybe a bit more, that I've been doing well. I haven't been weighing,  right now I don't think it's that important. It's more important to get my eating on track than it is to beat myself up for not losing or for gaining .5 ounces or whatever.

I've decided to set my goal low. Every 6 months I get weighed and blood work and all that for my study I am doing, and my goal is to lose 20 lbs in the next six months. I know it's slow going, but I think it's all I can handle at the moment. I'm doing well with my food, drinking fresh juices, I think tomorrow I will start tracking again. For the last week I've just been trying to make better choices.

btw, I had my blood work (cholesterol, thyroid, sugar, etc) checked in january and I haven't been back in to the doc to get my results, but when there is something amiss (Last time my cholesterol was 8 points too high) I get a letter from my PCP telling me to make an appt to talk about it. This time, no letter. I can't wait to see what my results are. I've been taking fish oil to help lower it.

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know that I'm still around, still fighting the good fight, struggling, but still trying. Always trying.

Will write more next week when I've had some tracking under my belt. Not sure when I'll bother weighing.

  1. 20 lbs in the next 6 months is TOTALLY doable. You CAN do it. YOU CAN!!!!

    It's actually one of my goals (20 lbs in 6 months). We can do it together.

    AND WE WILL!

    Chin up! YOU CAN DO IT! Now get out there and hustle, hustle, hustle and show your body who is boss!!!!!

  2. Sounds like we are in the same boat! I've been struggling too ~ in my case, it's being around a bunch of restaurants that I haven't had in Canada for the last nine years.

    Like you, I am just focusing on being on track, not what the scale says. We can both get into Onederland, and we're gonna! It just might take a while, and that's okay! WOOT!

  3. Please know that you always have my support and I would much rather "hear you whine" than not hear from you at all. Sorry I have not been around to read but with the new goals I have set for myself, I hope to be around more for support but also to be a supporter! Hope you are well, friend.

How Intuitive eating (did not) work for me

So I have spent roughly the last year and a half or more trying to lose weight by eating intuitively. I'm not really great at it. I have lost 30 lbs in a year and a half, it's moving at such a snails pace that I have finally decided that the only thing that works for me is tracking, and even though in my head I know I won't possibly do it forever, I have to go back to it.

So, Joey and I are tracking again, so far so good. It's only been a few days, but it at least hasn't been a struggle. I figure we will stay where we are calorie wise and after about a month and hopefully some loss (not being too focused on the scale though, it's been my downfall in the past) we can reduce our calories a little bit at a time.

I know this is the right thing to do, but I feel kind of down that I did so poorly with intuitive eating. Then again I probably wouldn't be fat if I were good at that sort of thing. :P Here's to being "On Plan." :D

Also, my job has finall…

I Was a Fat Bride

Our wedding pictures are the first thing you see when you walk into our home. 


Joey and I have been together for over 22 years. We've both gained and lost a lot of weight over the course of our relationship. Then we regained, and re-lost, you know how it goes. We got married on our 19 year anniversary, which is in March.  We had decided to get married just four months prior. So after what our friends teased was a 'brief 19 year courtship", we decided to just go ahead and do it. I know there are a million blogs and articles about losing weight for your wedding. This is not one of them. I had four months to lose weight. I don't really even remember what was going on, but I had NO desire to diet or attempt to lose weight and so I just...didn't. Joey lost a bit of weight so he could wear that fancy vest. I appreciate the effort, he looked handsome in it. :)

We thought we would never get married. We didn't see the point, we kind of still don't, and luckily, be…

Fluvia Lacerda....or, life's short, have fun.

So I just read this post about 'letting it all hang out' in the summer, by Fluvia Lacerda, a Brazilian plus size model. She. Is. Gorgeous.

First, let me say, my 'thinspiration' pics are always plus size models. I have no desire to be skinny. I want to ROCK my curves.

Anyhow, this is what the lovely Fluvia Lacerda looks like:


So she writes this blog post about how you should accept your fat body and don't care about the judgements from other people, etc, etc. I'm thinking to myself, she looks amazing, who is judging her? Then I google her and find a 'celebrity weight gain' site that is talking all kinds of smack on her 'chunky arms' and her 'expanding waistline'. I want to cry. Seriously. If you can look like THAT and still get insulted by these people (who are the equivilant to me, of frat boys yelling "fat bitch" at me from their porch) then I just hate this world. 
I ASPIRE to be as 'fat' and 'chunky' as Fluvia!…
