Week #13- Weightloss Update

I took the plunge and weighed myself. I actually lost another 2 lbs- which is a miracle based on the month we have had. Nothing but stress. Stress for me usually means coconut cream pies and more. So I am a svelte 308 now. Hardly worth changing the picture in my header :-)

I have been going through this weird phases where I push my own addictions on the family. I some how convince myself that my family needs and wants dessert every day- when in fact it is usually me that ends up eating half- or more of it. I am now in the habit of making graham cracker crust pies. We have made 2 coconut cream, a key lime and one butterscotch banana pie in the last 2 weeks. I foget that I CANNOT bring this stuff in to the house. I don;t know how I delude myself. I am like the smoker who thinks he will never get lung cancer.

Week 11

Yes, You guessed it.. fell off the wagon. Not jumped off the wagon and ate myself into oblivion- but balance in my life is way off kilter. I have not gone to the gym. I have done very little exercise. I have made MOSTLY good food choices. I am feeling bit crummy about myself. My sex life has really petered out since last baby. It could also be weight gain. I was very heavy ( 275) when husband met me but I feel really big now. I am quite tall- 5′ 10″ and weight is pretty evenly distributed- but being heavy and feeling “ugly” is new phenomenon to me- and it has impacted my intimate life- lacking confidence I suppose.

After holiday weekend will go to gym. I do some consulting work at home and I am behind so every free minute I am trying to work.
