Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well, after getting back on track in July, I'm in the 140s again...149.6, but I'm in there! =) I've been on this journey since July 2002! I got down to 137 January 2003 (my WW goal was 141 at the time...my personal goal is 130) and stayed there for about a week. Two months later I had put on 15 pounds. It's been a constant battle...mostly uphill as far as the scale is concerned...and I finally said ENOUGH! last month. I don't know what it is, but once I start to get skinny, I lose my freaking mind!!!! I start to eat...a lot! Sabotage all the hard work I've done. I know being skinny doesn't guarantee happiness, but I know that being fat certainly didn't make me happy one little bit. So, why the heck do I find comfort in food and fat? I went to Dotti's website yesterday and I noticed that she's had a lot of trouble w/ her weight over the past year. Quitting smoking, plus family issues definitely contributed to her gain. Now, I remember the first time I saw Dotti's site, I was really blown away. This woman is like...well...Superwoman! But, she's also human. It was just a really big reminder that this battle will probably be a constant throughout the rest of my life. As long as I can keep that in mind, I should be ok. On another note, I had a little NSV today when I bought some clothes at a yard sale. Most of the items were for a " gypsy " costume I was putting together for a staff lunch...but I did buy a size medium " dress " shirt for work. It fit and damn if I didn't look great in it! Actually, all the clothes items I had bought fit great. I just couldn't believe it. =) Anyways, I haven't had a lot of " Wow! This is great! " feelings in about a year and a half, so I really needed to feel good today. Thanks for listening to my self-love. =) 166/149.6/130 (ATH-175) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
