Finally! Next goal is...

I finally made it back to 209 which was my preIKE weight. WOW...I thought it would never come off! Now my next small goal is 19something. You will have to pull me off the ceiling when I hit that one again. This time it will have new meaning for me. New meaning in the respect of I do not have smoking to lean on anymore. I am not smoking AND I am losing the weight that I gained as a result of quitting. So, I am proving something huge to myself. I am a winner. I have not felt that way in a

vent session~

Almost 2 weeks since I have been back on track. I STILL need to lose a pound to get to where I was before IKE. Come on...are you kidding me? I am busting my ass. I can gain 7 pounds in a week but only 6 has come off in 2 weeks? I know I should be proud....I am really but I am just beyond frustrated at myself. I guess over all it is a good thing I am going through this but .... OK, I have learned my lesson already! DAMN DAMN DAMN.....I just wanna be back where I was before I quit smoking

"rock"tober

That is what my mission is...to Rocktober. I am going to have a fantastic month (even if it kills me). My goal is to be back in onederland by Thanksgiving. That is approx 6 weeks away. Attainable? Sure it is. There is only one thing that can keep me from doing it....ME. So, with that being said, it is time to get off my ass and get to work! :thumbup: See ya!

doing other things

Excuse me while I sit her and type to myself .:clap: Once again sitting here trying to figure out what to do other than eat. I never really realized how much I eat just out of pure boredom. I lost another pound so I am down to 211. I have 2 more pounds to lose until I get back to my pre-hurricane Ike weight. Then 30 more to get back to where I was in February.:rolleyes2: Happens to the best of us I guess. 30 pounds is better than 40 right? Heck yeah! I am really glad that the biggest lo

the same is better than up

Still at 212 this morning. I can handle it. If I would not have stopped the foolishness when i did I would be up to 220 by now so I am very happy.:rolleyes2: My paperback swap shop that i always went to is ruined because of Ike so now I am bookless:sad_smile:. Not good. I use books and sunflower seeds to keep my mind off smoking. Thursday Survivor starts! WOOT:w00t: I love that show. I am hopelessly devoted:wub: This has been pretty much a ramble about nothing post so I will just stop

Sunday chatter...

I lost another pound of my hurricane evacuation weight. Down to 212 this morning! :clap: I watched something REALLY depressing last night. Informative, but depressing. It was that "YOU on a diet" show with Dr Oz. One of the 3 people they were putting on this diet was a woman my height 5'7 and she weighed 165 (my ultimate goal). Are you kidding me? They said that women overall should have a 32" waist or smaller. OK, so THAT isn't gonna happen....maybe a 32" thigh! It was just depressing to see t

no snack...are you kidding me?

I made it...I actually made it. I went snackless last night. I guess the 'typing instead of eating' worked! Down another pound this morning. So what if it is fluid. A pound of fluid weighs the same as a pound of fat, it is still a pound any way you slice it, right?:cursing: I know after I get on a roll again with the weight loss and recatch the "nothing can stop me" attitude I will get back down to my almost-goal weight. Hard to believe I was only 4 pounds away from goal then I blew it.

typing instead of eating....

Ok, so I will just type in my blog instead of munching. I wish I would have never found that easy peanut butter cookie recipe. Ugh, I mean really...my favorite cookie in the whole world and I can literally have a hot batch made, with prep time to consumption only kill about 20 minutes and that includes clean up! lol Last night dh really did not help matters. I kind of half heartedly laughed to myself....he asked what and I told him that my inner fat girl had something to say and was thinkin

Post ike

Here I am a week later and 7 pounds higher. The hurricane crossed directly over our house. While we were on evacuation, I ate things I should not have. My husband took a picture of me with my daughter and I can tell in the pic that I am getting fat again. I have gained about 40 pounds since I stopped smoking in March. Anyway, we got our electricity back on yesterday when we came back home. We were very lucky because we had no property damage. We lost everything in our freezer which really

Hurricane Ike

Wow, we are really in for some trouble over here! I did not really ever think about the possibility of not having anywhere to live before. How scary. I have been stress eating. I am a basket case. I feel like a jersey cow. I want to cry but I an't because I do not want to scare my daughter. So, I will just keep holding it in. When I do finally get the chance to cry it is going to be such a tear fest! I wish I could get this lump out of my throat. I need to get up and pack so we can get

Saturday morning

Good Saturday morning! I was down another pound yesterday but am not going to weigh this morning. Just feel kind of fat today so I will skip it. Don't wanna bring myself down. I sure wish I still fell under the 'free fills for a year' catagory! I really do need probably .3 or so. Funny how such a small amount can make such a huge difference. Oh well, I have to suck it up for another month or so. The good news is that yesterday for the first time in a long time, my stomach actually growled. T

Nothing wrong with starting over!

First blog ever...how cool is that?! Hmmmm, this is not meant to scare anyone off of WLS but I am going to write what I am going through and it is mainly meant for my own theraputic purposes. If someone reads it and it helps them along the way, then wonderful. If it seriously disturbs someone, at least I can not get sued for it! HA! :smile: By the way, it i my blog so if there is a typo, deal with it.   So it has been coming on 6 months now that I have not had a cigarette. The scales show it
