Life without the scale

I have noticed my clothes finally feeling looser again. I feel good. I haven't walked that much this week, but I do plan to walk today. I had a few drinks on Friday night and had to go to the doctor on Saturday morning. It just didn't work out for me to walk because we had somewhere to go midday...

The good thing is the desire was there. I have my desire to exercise and that is awesome.

Eating? Well eating hasn't been that great this weekend, but during the week I know I was doing very well. I have cut out snacks. I didn't even plan to do it really, but began only eating 3 meals a day without snacking. It works. We have been so busy at work that I don't have time to think about food.

I don't know what I weigh yet. I don't want to spoil this feeling I have by seeing a number that I may not be happy with. For now I feel good. I feel like I am doing the right things, most of the time.

I know I will eventually cave in and weigh-in. But I plan to hold out for as long as possible.

So pleased everything is falling into place.

Woo hoo! You go, girl!

Your recent progress has inspired me to go and look into some of my own problems in trying to get back into the groove. Apparently my estrogen is very low, so she's boosting it with a supplement. She wants me to give it a few weeks to see how it works and if it's not, go up another miligram to see how that goes (because I'm serious, it's very low). She also gave me a sample of Lexi so that if after going to 2mg I'm still kinda blah, I can try that and if it works, then she'll Rx it for me. Very encouraging and I did mention the changes you were already reporting and she said that was all the more reason.

Keep it up! Beautiful picture of you! It really shows off the electricity I've sensed in your most recent posts.

Hi Ms Ralph. I popped in here via Argy's blog and wanted to say hi. Reading about Rundle Street and the Barossa reminded me of all the things I miss about living in Adelaide. It is a lovely place to be.

Well done for walking into the City. Go you! :D

Hope you have a lovely day. Your photo's on the last few posts have been really beautiful too :)

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.
