Wine? Yes please!

I didn't do as well on Tuesday as Wednesday with my eating, but it is because we went to a lodge dinner last night. I did well and choose the Barramundi, although it was served with hollandaise sauce! It was delish! Oh it was so yummy. The major downfall of my eating was having wine. I had no willpower at all when it came to the alcohol. Sparkpeople says I should eat between 1200 and 1550 calories a day and yesterday I stayed just under that. I also walked for over an hour.

I still feel like I should be doing more.

Sounds like you have turned a corner and started getting back into the swing of it. Good for you.

I have to agree on the jeans sizes here in OZ. You cant just pick up the size you normally wear, you just have to try them on because they vary so much.

And if you're passing round the wine, Yes I'll have some too lol

Wine? Did someone say wine? Actually my alchohol weakness is gin.

It also sounds like pant sizes vary all over the world, not just here in the US...

Love the blog!

I've been lurking for a while but never commented, but just wanted to say good luck. None of it is easy - the weight loss, the- writing, the getting sorted (I know I'm going through all the same things myself!). But bit by bit you'll start achieving your goals and it will be SO worth it! Hang in there!

You are trying and that's what counts. And it could have been much worse than wine. Wine can be a good thing:)

Sis, from one fatty to another, you just need to get right with yourself no matter your size. All that energy you spend on tracking food!

Sizes are crazy everywhere, and it drives ME crazy - I can be anything from an 8 to a 14, depending on the brand. Sigh.

Every day is hard for me in a different way - some writing and diet stuff never gets easier, I think. Hope everything is going well or at least OK for you...look forward to hearing from you!

The main thing, like everyone is saying, is that you (and I, and lots of others) keep on trying, are still in the game, even if we sometimes are on hiatus.

Sounds like you are on the right path. It is tough my weak spot is certain sweets. I get a bite of some kinds and I can't stop. I have taken to avoiding the trigger foods altogether.

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...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
