Been out of the loop of things for awhile now.  I’m back and ready to get things back on track.  Two years ago I almost made it to my goal of being under 200 lbs but due to stress and the fact that i’m an emotional eater, I gained it back.  I’m more determined then ever to make this a life changing experience, not just a quick diet thing.  Ready, Set, Lets go, lol.  Oh and I bought Alli pills almost 6 months ago but have yet to take one, a little scared.  Has anyone ever tried it??  If so, how did you like it??

Well, It’s be a while since I’ve been on here.  Was a bit disgusted with myself because the weight I lost, I gained back.  Recently, my sister and my best friend, we decided to do a friendly competition of the biggest loser.  It’ll be almost 4 weeks on Sunday and It’s going pretty good.  I have lost inches and a few pounds.  I’m not going to rush into anything but it feels great to be back in the groove of things.  Hope all has been well with everyone.

I thought I’d just write a couple of lines.  I’ve been doing ok in regards to dieting but I could be doing so much better.  I haven’t gotten back on the treadmill since my daughter got sick and she’s been better for over a week now but I can’t seem to get my lazy self off the couch.  I don’t know if i’m depressed or what.  At one time, I was motivated as ever to exercise and eat right and now, I feel as if I’m back to square one.  I’m gonna pray about  it and try to stay positive.  I’m even scared to get on the scale in fear that it’ll show me that i’ve gained weight.  I can do it, I know I can, just have to get outta this slump I’m in.

Does it seem like everyone around you seems to be losing weight except yourself?  I’m happy for all my friends who seem to be on the road to a healthier life but sometimes it just seems as if, I’m at a stand still while everyone around me is losing the pounds.  It’s frustrating, very frustrating.  Sure I get compliments every so often from people telling me I look like i’m losing a few pounds but when I look at some of my friends, it’s so obvious that they lost more then just a couple of pounds and with little to no effort.  One of my friends doesn’t even workout but seems to lose weight easily.  I’m not throwing myself a pity party, I’m just a bit frustrated with myself and the whole diet thing as a whole.  Staying motivated is getting harder and harder.

A week ago I prayed about it and I decided to stop eating after 6pm.  I’m onto week 2 and it really hasn’t been that bad.  Sure, I get the urge to grab something small to eat late at night but thankfully, I haven’t.  I thought I’d have problems especially since by the time I finish dinner for my daughter it’s after 6 but I just wrap up the leftovers and put them in the fridge and take them for lunch the next day.  I’ve been doing good and I’m really proud of myself.  My goal is to do this for a month.

I have a 5 year old daughter and I don’t want to deprive her of the snacks she enjoys just because Mommy wants to lose weight.  Is it possible to have snacks in the house that I know I shouldn’t be eating? Right now, I don’t think so.  For some reason my cravings go into overdrive late at night and I can’t control them.  I have no idea what to do about it.  I pray and I pray and I pray but I just give in to the cravings.  I don’t go for the fruit that is right on my kitchen table, or the yogurt.  I go straight for the chips or cake.  It’s frustrating, it really is.  Sometimes I feel like giving up but deep down I know I can’t. 

Well, I haven’t written anything in a while.  Hope everyone has been doing good.  I can’t say I’ve been on my  best behavior.  I recently came back from Cancun, I hadn’t reached my target weight before I left but it wasn’t horrible.  I didn’t feel as uncomfortable as I thought I w0uld in a bathingsuit.  I’m going to try and get back on track now, with my eating and exercise.  It’s gonna be hard but I know I can do it. 

I haven’t written in a while, mainly because I haven’t been doing horrible but I could be doing better.  Exercise is going good, I’m jogging more on the treadmill but I still have a problem with late night eating.  My cut off time for eating is 7 oclock but around 9, 10, I’m craving sweets or food in general.  I don’t know what to do about these cravings.  Sometimes I can overcome them but other times I can’t and just give in then I feel all guilty.  I’m not going to beat myself up over it but I am disappointed in myself.  I will do better, I know it. 

Just curious if anyone has had any success with any of them. If your wondering, no I don’t plan on taking any.  I actually tried a weight loss pill about a year ago and it did nothing, absolutely nothing for me.   I didn’t lose weight, it didn’t carb my appetite. All it did was cause me to lose weight in my wallet, lol.   I’m too scared to take any of that stuff especially since I’ve heard stories of how fast the heart speeds up when taking some of these pills.  I’m not taking any chances. 

With so many on the market I was just curious if anyone has had success with any of them. 

Once again, I ate things I shouldn’t have, drank things I shouldn’t have.  I do great all week and then the weekends come and everything I’ve been doing is out the door.  I have no idea what the problem is but I’ve got to figure something out.

Maybe it’s because I have more time on my hands to relax and kick back.  Whatever the reason I need to get it under control because weekends are going to be my downfall.  But anywho, It’s Monday back on track for the most part.

 Hope everyone had a great weekend.
