I FOUND YOU! :-) Hang in there. I have also had mounds of family problems and severely dislike (I don't throw the H* word around lightly) my job right now. Having BTL as a support network has really helped pull me through the crappiness of that and…

- About Me:
- Hi,
I am a happily (99.9% of the time) married mother of 2 beautiful children, ages 5 and 3.
I have been struggling with my weight for most of my adult life and have had enough.
I have done WW in the past but never hit goal and am currently back with WW and plan on becoming a life time member this time around!
I want to be healthy for my husband and children and give them so much more in life then I have been able to being overweight.
I enjoy scrapbooking and spending time with my family and friends.
I have a friend who blogs here and I find the support given amazing and I enjoy reading about people's journey's and have finally decided it was time to join the blog team.
So here I am....blog away!

Way too long...
Where do I start? It has been awhile since I have last posted. I can use the excuse of not having the time and being too busy which is part of it but in reality and all honesty I have just lost interest.
Not in Blog to Lose because I still go on the site from time to time and see how everyone is doing but I have basically lost interest in myself.
My weight has gone up more then few lbs which I desperately need to take off again and since having my gall bladder removed Nov 5, I have not been able… Continue

I am back...
Back from holidays and right back on track!
Holidays were amazing, nice and relaxing with my family at a cottage for one week. I ate, drank and had a great time. I did it all in moderation and got in a lot of swimming and moving around. My home scales shows I am up a bit but hey, life goes on and I will lose the extra lbs...I know I will!
Had to do 3 sessions of boot camp this week since I missed last week and I survived. I did Mon, Tues and tonight, plus we have been really busy at work so I ha… Continue

- Good to hear from you Christine! I know...I wonder why we do this to ourselves? That is exactly why I am going to get some therapy. I just need to understand myself better and learn some good tools to make sure I stay happy and healthy both mentally and physically. I dont think Im in bad shape but I know I could be better. I dont want to binge anymore and I need to get some help now before I get worse. I feel better today and I am happy. I know I can do this. I know you can too. Its nice to know I have friends that understand and who are so supportive! Have a great week!

- How are you friend? I hope your doing well. I havent been on much either. My streak of good eating has become difficult. I dont know what happened but Im struggling. It stinks. Hope your doing better than I am. Talk to you soon!

- Hi Christine! Thanks for the congrats. Henry is the cutest thing. I am so in love with him. My mom has been here, and my hubby is taking 3 weeks of maternity leave, so things have been relatively easy for me. I still try to do too much sometimes though, and then I am tired and crying :~) Thanks for all the support during my pregnancy!

- Christine....thank you for the sweet words. I cant tell you how much they meant to me. You are a wonderful, uplifting friend and I appreciate you so much. I wish you lived closer. I would love to go to lunch with you and just chat! Im sorry I didnt respond quicker. I went on a camping trip and just got back. My back is feeling better but I havent gone to the gym yet. On Monday...I started to have some pain and I didnt want to risk it. I may try tomorrow. I am feeling better emotionally as well. I was freaked out and didnt want to get on the scale and stayed away for a few weeks. I got on before my trip to be accountable for my crappy eating and didnt gain. I couldnt believe it! It may have been a bad thing, because then I was tempted to keep on going since I didnt gain. However, I made good choices on my trip for the most part and packed a coller full of healthy foods. I treated myself here and there but still watched my calories. I think I will be fine. Im going to weigh myself tomorrow. I only ate one delicious smore and was really proud of myself for stopping at one. Last year I would have eaten until I was sick. Im glad when I recognize those changes and see that I have become stronger. Life is good! Anyways...how are you? Let me know how you are doing....I hope your doing well and feeling good!

Cindy M. said… - I think its a great idea... and a marketable one at that... I wonder if there was a way for you to patent the idea and have it integrated into the WW program. It's kind of like having a sponsor, and since WW is all about support and accountability I think it would fit very nicely into the whole program! Just a suggestion... but I bet there are a ton of people who would love to have a WWBFL, even if it was assigned at a meeting to keep each other accountable throughout the week... or have someone to go for walks with. I know I could totally use one!

Tanya said… - Thanks for your comments buddy. I know that having you by my side has inspired and encouraged me all the way. I would have quit a long time ago if you were not walking with me through this journey. Thank you for encouraging me only to find out that I didn't follow through. Thank you for knowing that I can do this even though I have doubted myself. I started fresh yesterday and although I may have eaten a bit too much I journalled. I also went for a 7 K run in the heat which I am certain burned off some of the extra calories I may have eaten. I did way better though than I did in the past when eating...I made concious healthier choices rather than just digging in and throwing it all away. Today again I am getting organized for the week preparing meals, etc. So here is to a good week for both of us with a weight loss as the end of it....hugs, WWBFL!
