August 6, 2007The best indication that I need to update and feel commited to my diet (and my website) again?
My referrals tell me I am a top listing in Google’s search for “I feel unmotivated and sad.”
Today I weigh less than I ever did in July, but have still not brought myself back to a 100lb total […]

July 20, 2007Today is day 398 of the diet. Time to confess: I am up about three pounds from my lowest weight.
The truth is that, for a few days, I was hovering in the range of plus TWELVE pounds. I put myself on a lean meat, veggies, juice and water diet over the last two days, […]

July 16, 2007I’ve been cheating on my diet for so long now that I’m over it.
Driving home today, thinking “I will start back up tomorrow,” I couldn’t even think of another thing I wanted to eat as my farewell before I became strict again.
Fast food really grosses me out now. I’m so thankful for that.
So back on […]

July 12, 2007Today is day 390 of the diet. No significant weight loss this week.
Are PMS cravings excuses? sort of like the way years (maybe even a decade) from now I plan on eating ice cream straight from the container as dessert after every meal, even breakfast, when I am pregnant, just because I’m pregnant?
I ate a […]

July 5, 2007Today is day 383 of the diet. I don’t know my weight.
Something tells me my net loss is now slightly under the 100-pound mark after a week of feeling empowered, then bored, then sorry for myself.
I have a lot more I’m-doing-so-well-that-I-deserve-a-break and Someone-was-mean-to-me-today-so-I-deserve-an-ice-cream days than I should.
Where I stand is:
I haven’t followed my eating plan […]

June 28, 2007Today is day 376 of the diet. I am down 4.4 pounds not for the week, but in the last six days!
I have lost 100.8 pounds since June 17, 2006.
Today I weigh less than I did when I was 15, forced to be weighed in front of my high school P.E. classmates, teary-eyed, ashamed, in […]

June 22, 2007Today is day 370 of the diet. I am down 2.4 pounds for the week, bringing me only 3.6lbs away from my -100lb goal.
My goal was to lose at least two pounds each this week and next, and to tackle the 100lb mark the following week, but 3.6 seems too close to ignore. I think […]

June 21, 2007Last Friday morning, sitting in an exam room in the doctor’s office, waiting to be seen for my aching back, I forgot something I used to think about many times before.
I don’t remember how old I was, but too young to be so heavy, when my doctor opened my file in front of me and […]

June 15, 2007Today is day 363 of the diet. I am down a firm two pounds from last week.
Hallelujah.
This effectively rounds my year out to 94 pounds lost–six pounds under my goal.
Not bad.
My next goal is two pounds each for the next two weeks, finishing out June lighter than I was as a freshman in high school […]

June 14, 2007So I’m a liar, but a liar with a very sore back.
For the first time ever I just used the massaging hand-held attachment for my shower head. It felt like someone (very warm) was punching me in the back. But at least it distracted from the soreness.
I think week two of Couch-to-5k will be week […]
