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.

That is wonderful. You sound sorted. You sound like the exercise is setting your mind right.

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 :)

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.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
