I agree with Shannon. If there are a few things you really love and spent money on, why not alter them? They will be smaller (no gaining weight to fit into them) and you'll wear them a little longer. When you can't fit into them yet again you can le…

Shannon H. commented on Kristine B's blog post 'Sad goodbye'
I'm totally with you on letting the clothes go. If there is something you REALLY love and it's only 1-2 sizes (depending on what item of clothing) bigger than where you are now you can always have it altered. I had some really nice, moderately expen…

I went through my clothes again and picked out the too-big items that I think will be accepted at the consignment store. I have always followed the practice of getting rid of things that are undergrown as I travel down the scale. There are several t…

For me, the taste of fast food/junk food breeds the desire for more fast food/junk food. Millions of dollars are spent by those companies trying to make their foods as tasty (i.e. addictive) as possible. I'm confident that after a few days enjoying…

Kristine B commented on Nadine's blog post 'Did You Miss Me?'
I'm sorry for your loss Nadine. My father died in 2002. We were very close. It was the hardest thing I have faced in life. Maybe instead of going to the gym, you could go to a park or nature area for walks? I know it's winter, but if the sun is out…

Yay for size 10 pants! And, buy the way, your binge sounds pretty healthy as far a binges go.

Sad goodbye

I went through my clothes again and picked out the too-big items that I think will be accepted at the consignment store. I have always followed the practice of getting rid of things that are undergrown as I travel down the scale. There are several times I'm pretty sure the fact I had nothing bigger to wear kept me from regaining. It's advice I give others all the time. But damn, it cuts to the bone this time. My awesome red swing coat is going away, along with the matching hat and gloves. I alwa… Continue

I got 99 problems...(but the pounds are gone!)

Please excuse my feeble attempt at humor, but that song has been in my head all day. See, I weighed in at 139 this morning. My highest recorded weight was 238. That's 99 pounds lost, y'all! Four pounds from goal.

Here is a pic from my bridal shower of me opening presents. I like the large space between my arm and my body, and that there are no bulges! And I l-o-v-e the shirt I am wearing.

11th grade jeans

So, at my mom's this weekend I went up in the attic to get down the Christmas tree. While up there I got out some old jeans and after holding them up, checking the tag (they were a 7/8), reminding myself of how big my current size 10s are, I got up the guts to try them on. Now, it was not pretty (I couldn't really bend over, sit, or breath deeply) but I got those suckers on and buttoned up all they way. Woohoo! These are jeans from 11th grade (1991-92 in case you are interested).

I am ex-freaki… Continue

News flash!

I'm so sorry I have been unable to keep up with reading everyone's posts and leaving comments. Less than a month till my wedding and it really is getting hectic. I have a lot more sympathy for brides now that I am walking in those shoes. I'm still here, rooting for you all, but my time is often not my own right now.

So, here's the news flash. I WEIGH 140!! That's what my driver's license says I weigh! That's the weight it has said since I was in college, and even then it was not correct. OMG pe… Continue

frustrated

I am sitting here, typing this out as my fiance gets ready so we can head to his parents for Thanksgiving. I know I am supposed to be happy and thankful today, but all I am is frustrated. Frustrated that I have hit a plateau and that the number on the scale is no longer going down. (I was actually up a pound this morning, for no reason. Grrr.) Frustrated that I took my measurements and they are the same, or a bit higher. (See, I was trying to convince myself that I was not on a plateau--muscle i… Continue

Thanks for your comment. It is true that we need to accept who we are. Makes it much easier to make things work right.
By the way. I had two cookies. Packaged the rest. Case closed!

I LOVE salsa!! My roommate and I eat it with everything. My favorite is to mix it into eggs and scramble them! I actually just bought this amazing mango-peach salsa. It is so great with baked tortilla chips! I think I might have to get some right now haha:) Hope you had a wonderful day!

Thanks for the post! I hope that stress is all that it is, it is definitely not helping with the waistline. I have been asking around and have gotten a few names and numbers but still some that people request are outrageous....guess I have to just keep trying! I hope you have fun at your party, maybe go dance to keep your mind off of food!
