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...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
