Shaking my head for real!!


I promised I would return today regardless if I had good news or not. So I should be so ashamed to say that I have gained 2lbs so my weigh in today was 289. I want to blame that TOM is on the way and for some reason this month I have had some serious pre-PMS symptoms. I have had the tender nipples, the craving for sugar, the mood is an “I don’t give a rat’s A$$”.  Can I say bloating but nah I am still about a 4 days out so I can’t say bloating. The eating has been disastrous the lemon meringue that I have had a serious craving for, then what did I do today I bought another lemon meringue pie.

Now it gets worse because let me tell you how I must hate myself. While eating dinner my friends tell me that Extreme Makeover- Weight loss addition is on. They are telling me how the girl is 20 and that she is a very big girl. When I finish dinner I decide let me see this show, so when I tune in I missed like the first like 40 minutes so I didn’t know her starting weight right off.  Well this woman weighed 323lbs so the more the show went on I started to say damn she looks really big. I started looking down at my body and was like I am not that big, granted by no means I am not in denial about my weight. Then I started to think damn she is lucky her belly fat is lower belly fat and not this upper belly fat that I have which is a serious muffin top. How having lower belly fat you can hide it in a way in your pants push it down but the muffin top has no aid what so ever unless you wore jeans that fit under your breast bone. Yes I know that is crazy talk and I should be beat the hell down for thinking it but I am honest. I then started to focus on her starting weight which is only 34lbs heavier than me. I mean damn, I am a lemon meringue and burger away to weighing that much. My mom was like we need to pinky swear and get on this weight loss. We going to show your friends you can do it too (for her she has to loss it because of her cancer risk to return and being watched for possible diabetes). She said obviously we haven’t hit rock bottom because we still eat bread and have had dessert a few times this week. Did I pinky swear? I did not, instead my response was we have lemon meringue in the fridge and we are not eating the whole thing tonight so we can’t start this tomorrow. My mom’s response was I didn’t mean tomorrow but no more pie no more bread.  What the hell is wrong with me!!  I went into that kitchen when that show was over and cut the lemon pie and enjoyed it like it was a man holding you tenderly.

I have support from my mom so that is not an excuse; the support from my friends may not be the kind that works for me but it is support rooted in the right place. I know boot camp is not for me at this stage and weight in my life. I hated the feeling of well you don’t want it bad enough because boot camp isn’t being done. I have two games I know for sure I just love and can’t seem to find that strength to turn on the damn game console and get my dance on! I love dancing so what is keeping me from the thing I enjoy because I know I am not going to be out in any club dancing because my raggedy tail isn’t brave enough to go out dancing alone, how sad would I look.  You know the fat girl alone in the club and the looks (I feel I would get) from people who are like ugh, eww, makes sense she is here alone no friends no man, she should have stayed home. I can’t dance my any means either but I love to wiggle the fat and side step with the best of them LOL. I even put on a sports bra and pants and Zumba in the house since I would never no matter how hot it is out be in a sports bra with no shirt.

I am my own worst enemy!!  I have to get it together lord please help me, you ever feel so desperate and down that you can’t seem to find you way up. I have fallen so many times and I am trying to get back up, but I am like on my knees trying to get off the floor and my hands on the couch struggling to get my fat ass off the floor. What a mess!! I am going to get off the floor though I am! My mom is right we, I need to show everyone I can be good looking too. I can show my uncle that I don’t have to always have to be fat. I know there are health risks for me since my mother had cancer (in remission right now), family history with medical issues.  I am not even going to lie and say I am doing it for health; I want to shop in the “regular” people store. I want to see if losing weight will really make a difference in my foot issue I am having or will allow me to wear heels. I want to buy a night gown that makes you look sexy, not feel sexy but LOOK sexy!! I want to see if really by losing the weight my back won’t hurt so because of these heavy ass breasts; so they should reduce in size as well. I want to stop hearing from other larger women that I dress nice (most of the time) for a big girl. I guess they figure I should be wearing a moo-moo or pants with the dreaded elastic waist or the cotton Capri jeans (you know the Wal-Mart old women pants)

Getting off this floor is so hard. I can’t wait to write that I made it to the couch and I can’t even see when I can right that I am off the couch and running around the living room.  This all means starting again, being on the couch means exercising and have lost 30lbs or more and the running around the living room meaning I have lost the over 100lbs I have to lose.  Must remember 10bls to lose 10 times and the first thing is to lose the 10lbs at least 3 times I think for me to really get it together and not stop!!

  1. Hi girly! First I want to start off and say you are hilarious! I laughed the whole time reading this! 2 lb gained is definitely forgivable. Plus your cycle is about to start so no worries there. Now let's get to that lemon meringue pie. IT IS PERFECTLY OKAY TO HAVE SOME PIE DURING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY! Believe me I should not be giving advice because lately I've been eating whatever, whenever and however. And getting bigger and depressed but that's another story another day. But when i was losing weight, going off course worked to my benefit. if you have a sugar craving like I always do, incorporate your pie in your diet. There's been times when i had bad weeks and horrible and I knew i gained weight but somehow on weigh in day I lost 3lbs. Sometimes it may be beneficial to go off course and shock your metabolism once and while. I can totally agree to not having the energy to exercise, or turn on that dvd and workout. Im kinda dreading the upcoming week because i have a plan to get back losing and i'm afraid when Monday comes I'm kinda make some excuse or put it off til next day.

    Some how we have to start being active. When i move to Tallahassee, I moved to a nicer place and environment. My carpet is brand new and everything is great. I love it. Mind you I have a dog. I had him for a little over 5 years. When I was in Savannah, I was too lazy to take him out and walk him. Now that i'm in a nicer place, I want to keep it that way. So I have no choice but to take him out and go on long walks. I dread it but i realize that it's making me active again. Im getting out that comfort zone. That's the key for both of us. Just get out the comfort zone and exercise. Let me stop rambling. Im going to get groceries and I saw your blog and I had to comment. But good luck to you! Keep blogging!

    1. Hey Crystal!! As you see I had to get groceries today as well. I had a friend many years ago when I first blew up that I should get a puppy. He said that the puppy will walk slow just like I would because I puppy but as the puppy grew the faster he would get and so would I. LOL This sister broke to buy a puppy but right now seems like a good idea. I understand when you are moving and all the things going on especially when moving from one state to another I can't even imagine.
      Well I hope to hear from you on Monday and you have said you made no excuse for trying something anything. If that means no fast food at all Monday then that is a step. I hear you we are going to have to learn to be out of comfort zone as someone said you better get comfortable being uncomfortable.
      Let’s take this one day at a time, one step at a time. We don’t have to make leaps and bounds but we do have to take a step even if just a baby step until we really learn how to do this our way.
