It’s the old okey doke, the flip flopper that’s me 100%. One month I am all gungho and ready to lose weight and exercise and the next month I could give a shit. I don’t exactly know why I feel this way, but that’s it in a nutshell. Intellectucally I know why I have to do [...]
Thanks everyone for your well wishes and concern. Here is a comment that I have decided to make a post as well.
It’s disturbing isn’t it. Check out this double edge sword; ever since the sleep study and finding out that I stop/struggle to breath during sleep, I have been afraid to fall asleep so I am [...]
I know, I know! I am going backwards. That 2.4lbs that I lost by the skin of my teeth last month is baaaaaaaack. It’s all me—I am eating too much, I am not sleeping enough, and I am not exercising enough.
For me, I know it all stems from me not getting enough sleep and feeling [...]
I’m very close to getting my new iPod—I haven’t earned it just yet. But, I am always looking for new music and I was very surprised and delighted to come across this young lady. Her name is Chrisette Michelle and she reminds me of some of my favorite singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, [...]
Whew! I thought for sure that I had gained 20lbs, at least that’s the way it felt. I haven’t been eating well, but I have been walking that treadmill consistently. I lost 2.4lbs and I can’t really complain about that. Although, I expended a lot of energy for those 2.4lbs. In my head it should be more, [...]
If you ever want to meet a night owl, knock on my door at 2:00, 3:00 or 4:00 am and you are likely to find me awake. I used to be able to function on very little sleep but now, not getting enough sleep is kicking my ass—I am so tired all of the time. I also have [...]
I exercised a lot as a young girl, so I know the benefits of exercise and the way endorphines make you feel. However, I forgot about how your body begins to change and how the way you feel about yourself instantly morphs into wanting to take care of the body you’re living in. This is [...]
This is my first posted weigh-in. I usually step on the scale on the 6th of each month and post it in the “How Chaotic Is My Fat?” page, quietly. Today however, I am so proud of myself, that I want to say it out loud. I LOST 7.4LBS. since my last weigh-in in May. I am so encouraged by [...]
It’s a move-a-thon people….move that ass, come on, you can do it. Self-motivation is the name of this game. If you are beginning an exercise program after years of living a sedentary lifestyle (like me) and are used to rewarding your couch potato behind with “Chips & Salsa” because you walked 10 steps to the fridge, this move-a-thon is [...]
I am obese and I know it. I don’t shy away from it or pretend that I don’t see it. No one has ever made a rude comment to my face or been mean to me, partly because I wouldn’t tolerate being treated with anything other than respect. However, this Memorial Day weekend and over the [...]
