Things are slowly getting better, I have made improvements.  Its getting a little easier to avoid temptation in the form of pizza and mexican food.  My husband and I are actually going to the gym more often and I feel really good about that.  Im down ten pounds now.  Water is my new best friend…..Im drinking about 2 liters a day actually.  I find myself not wanting sodas much anymore.  I think the day that my clothes get loose will be like winning the lottery…..Im so used to squeezing into everything, Im sick of it!  Its very depressing when I go into a store and even some of the largest sizes in the store wont fit me.  Finding pants? forget it!!!!  and if I do find a  pair they certainly dont fit, they just cover.  Too baggy in all the wrong places and too tight in all the others…………..today is a new day though.

well this week I have had a set back in my new lifestyle.  My husband and I have both been sick and for two days I have eaten anything and everything that I wanted to.  Well, I have paid the price this morning when I got on the scales.  I have gained back 3 lbs.  Funny how it takes me two weeks to drop nine pounds and two days to gain three, how discouraging!!!   I told myself this morning that I have to get back on track and stop wasting time.  Even during those two days when I found myself with a family sized box of Cheez Its in my lap eating handfulls at a time, I thought to myself “why are you doing this, you dont even want these” .  Its sooo easy to slip back into old habits, too easy.  But Im back on the weight loss band wagon now and as soon as my husband and I are better we are going back to the gym and I plan on cooking tilapia for dinner tonight….anyone have any good recipes?

My weight problem began full force in college.  Bad habits …lots of soft drinks bad food choices such as pizza at all hours of the night no vegetables……and no exercising.

By the time I started to notice it felt too late….I have tried everything weight watchers, xenical, low carb, no carb, south beach……completely discouraged. 

I have started down a new path now though, I m eating 6 small meals a day full of lean protein, vegetables and fresh fruits/whole grains.  It is the only thing I have been able to stick to for more than a week.  It seems as though I have no will power.  I am in the beginning, and have a very lon g way to go to get where I want to be but at least I have started.  I have lost 9 pounds as of today
