After being so sick last week, I knew I was totally dehydrated and knew that I would go up this week. 3 and a bit pounds up.
Back to the old grind stone.
For the past couple of days I’ve been feeling rather…. constipated.
Lovely visual I’m sure. But I have been feeling more fat… jiggly…not sexy - at all. I’m not sure what it is… not the usual suspect - the dreaded time of the month. I think it has something to do with me being so sick last week and now my body is in recovery mode and hanging on to all the fluid it can.
Totally retaining here people.
So when I hopped on the scale yesterday… and um… again today - it’s not looking to pretty. At all. In fact it looks like I’m back where I was 2 weeks ago. Which totally kind of sucks. I had hoped with my big 6 pound loss that I could have kept a couple of those pounds off after recovering. I’ve even been pretty darn good with the points too.
But my body seems to have other plans for me today. So I’m hoping that tonight the weigh in looks better than it does on my home scale.
*fingers crossed*
Yesterday, I went over to my parents house for a visit and as soon as I had come in through the door, they both went “Wow! you’re looking skinny!”. I was so totally happy that they said that!
They’ve both known that I’m doing weight watchers and they’ve both been very supportive and happy that I’m doing it… and sticking to it. Which you know, isn’t easy AT ALL. But so far I’ve lost a bit of weight and now I guess I’m reaching that point where it’s pretty noticeable.
I was pretty happy.
I also picked up a pair of pants from the second hand shop for $4 (whoot!).. and they were a size 13. Holy moly! I was so happy that I didn’t have to suck it in to button them… or do the whole fall back onto the bed to be able to put them on… LOL. I did it standing up in the change room. I was in a little shock. I don’t think my mind has caught up with my weight loss yet - I’m still thinking I’m bigger than I am… I guess.
But it was a great day… and a $4 pair of pants totally made my day!!! 
Well, here is where I have to say something charming and witty about myself… and quite honestly right now…. I haven’t really much to say. I am a fat woman - who needs to lose some weight. How much weight you say? It would be a whopping 60 pounds. It really doesn’t seem so bad - does it. I carry it quite well That’s the problem - my body and me… we have a constant fight about what I’m putting in my body. I’ve decided to take control - and learn to eat better, healthier alternatives, and maybe just a little less of the sweet stuff that I soooo much desire (are you listening Chocolate!).
I am in my early 30’s and I have one child. I would like to be more active in my child’s life and I feel that my weight really holds me back. I just don’t have the stamina to go running and jumping and all that fun stuff with my child. I don’t want to be the Mom who sits on the sideline - I want to be apart of it all. So that’s just one reason why I’m kicking myself in the butt to get this party started and lose some weight.
I would like this online journal of sorts to be my motivator - that I have to be honest with myself and the whole darn Inter-webby-thinger-ma-jig… that I’m posting to. I just want to be thinner… healthier… and be able to go to any damn store in the mall and go to the racks and put something on - and it will fit. It’s been over a decade since I’ve been able to do that - a FREAKIN’ DECADE. Not through anyone’s fault but my own, so I’m going to be more proactive, more responsible to myself… and keep repeating that until I believe it. *haha*
