Well hello those of you here to read up on my journey...or well, right now, my lack thereof.
I last posted December 30th?!?!? So once again I'm looking back and when I was LAST actively trying to lose weight and counting not weeks..but MONTHS in that gap! Wonderin AGAIN where would I be now had I just STUCK WITH IT!!
I know, I know . . . some of you might wanna say, you need to forgive yourself as many times as you have a setback and get right back on track for the goal. Others might say go kill yourself fatty....well to you I say...why are you here reading blogs from people trying to lose weight and then become Captain Bringdown? Also to you I say I'm really not in the mood for dying, even if I AM currently eating myself to an early grave. So for you Negative Nelly... *POOF* be gone!
Everyone else, you probably fall into one of a couple of categories: you've been when I am and you know what it's like to have to lose 10, 50, 100, 200, or in my case about 250 pounds. You've been there and you've succeeded! I'm hoping to succeed without Lap-Band surgery (never going for a bypass) because for some, that can be just as dangerous as a bypass. The other part of you reading are in a similar weight loss situation as I am. What situation is this? Well, like a blogger I'm following, "Chubby Chick", I should probably make a list of things I am trying/needing/wanting to lose weight for. In essence I could pretty much just copy and paste her list to my blog and add a handful of reasons she may have missed!!! For so many people on this planet, the more we are different, the more we are the same.
Well, I may not be able to do my list right this instance . . . the bell will be ringing to begin my next class to teach in about a minute, unless no one shows up. Even if they all do there are only about 5 girls left and one will be in a play practice, two just returned from homebound over the past week & 1/2 and haven't been back consistently, and one's attendance has been wishy-washy this year. Two are currently on homebound until the end of the year so...I might just get to type out that list. It's a list that will come from the heart like so many things I will post in this blog. I don't think I'll be willing to reveal my identity in this blog until I've dropped at least 150 pounds. I have a party planned in a lil under 6 months that I decided to have back in January or February. I wanted to make it public so people would know that I am trying to lose and give me some encouragment and it would maybe give me some motivation! I bought some smaller sized nice black cocktail dresses so that's where the party idea came from. The one I plan to wear is hanging where I can see it everyday...but yet and all, here I am.
Well, EVERY STUDENT (all five) showed up, and on a FRIDAY at that! I must have talked them up. wow! no play practice I guess.
Oh well, I'll try to post my list later today. The weather isn't looking satisfactory enough for me to attend this shindig. But well, I probably wouldn't have gone anyway.
It's never too late for a new beginning! I tried and failed so many times in the almost 2 years since I started my blog that I can't even count them all! And I ended up weighing about 35 pounds more in Feb. of this year than I did when I started my blog in Aug. 2007! So don't feel bad that you haven't done as well as you'd like in the past few months. I wasted almost 2 years before I got my head on straight.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your list, and I look forward to reading about your success as you continue on this journey. I'll be right here chugging along beside you! And always remember... we DO have the power to change our lives! We just need to take it one day at a time and do the best that we can each day. :)
