Me and the Fat Girl ............

Are going to be FRIENDS if it kills me ............ really it is her i Battle EVERY night
1. she will learn that we have come a LONG WAYS
HEE HEE we will work on that 1st .......

Day one!

MUST LEARN AND LIVE BY THIS ......

*Got this from one of my Good Friends*
I am hoping my inner fat girl will be able to figure out that my slip ups aren't going to turn into a freight train going downhill out of control. When she figures out that I am exercising every day and will continue doing so because it makes me feel good, and when she figures out that this new life is my normal, then she can relax a little and quit yelling at me. I don't think I can make her leave. I used to need her to protect me from getting hurt. When she figures out that I can get hurt but I have learned other survival skills besides turning to food, maybe she will be able to slowly slip into the background. When she sees that loving myself isn't hard anymore, maybe she won't feel as powerful. When I quit being afraid of her and just appreciates her as a gentle reminder of how far I've come, then I will be free to love HER!!Maybe we're not meant to get rid of her. Maybe we're meant to learn to love how she can make us stronger.

Yes i am ADDICATED..................




I LOVE MY ASICS SO MUCH I AM ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR NEW PAIR AT A GREAT PRICE LOL I GOT THESE OFF EbaY FOR ONLY $40 SHIPPED BRAND NEW ON EASTBAY THEY SELL FOR $90 BEFORE SHIPPING SCORE


BUT HUBBY TOLD ME THIS IS IT NO MORE SHOES FOR AWHILE ................


just thought i would share a pic of the shoes i got Dh for xmas i love FLASHY shoes !

Hanging On By A Thread...........


That is how i feel right now not sure what i want to do i know i have been doing HORRIBLE this week ! and the scale sure did say that


165.3/164.8 ~less then when i took the pic HA HA
Last week
164
but on sat
160.4(not sure the scale was right but i liked what it said lol)
HOLY MOLY i will spare you all a pic i don't even want to waste my time taking one and downloading it ! (ok so i took the STUPID PIC) have to own it right !
GAH! i have been stuck in the 160's for months now since oct i guess in a way that is NOT a bad thing atleast i am NOT up 50- 60 lbs by now i know them lbs can come back quick but i want to get to at least 144lbs to be at a NORMAL weight for my body frame will i get there ??
Oh i know i just need to take this one day at a time !
I WILL GET THERE
I seem to always take 5 steps up then 5 back ! i need to get real for the 1st time in a LONG time !
i don't know why i think since i am thinner i can eat what i want when i want ? is that because i am Happy at the weight i am ? i don't need to be any less? or is that fat inner girl loving her food again ? Who know i just got to keep going !
5K
it is a Month away from my 5k as of TODAY i wanted to lose some weight by then ! i know i ran my last one at over 180lbs so i know my weight would not be a deal right now but i want to NOT feel like a BIG Reese's CANDY HA HA !
my goal this month is to run at lest 30 min every other day (if not more) that way i am ready for the 5k i know my Hubby is going to run it with me so i know we will not run the whole way ( i don't think ) i would love to push him hard enough to do this but we will do what he can ! that is what Together means and that is what we signed up for in this 5k he did tell me if i want to leave him i could just run HA HA what a sweet guy i think i would feel BAD!

NOTE TO SELF:
1. AMY YOU WILL EAT AGAIN
2. YOU DON'T NEED CANDY (i know you feel like it but you don't)
3.YOU DON'T NEED TO EAT AFTER 6 PM (really tomorrow is not that far away )
4. YOU DON'T NEED TO EAT WHEN YOU NOT HUNGRY (YOUR JUST BOARD)

FAST FOOD & New Shoes ~


Ok so i GAVE in today and ate fast food YIKES ! i loved it to i think it was just what i needed (YEAH right ) but you know some times you just NEED that junk then your fine & back on track !i had a Filet-o-fish med fries and a LARGE (yes Large )Frosty from wendys so tomorrow i am going to try the Special K Challenge it seem HARD there is not much to eat lol but i am going to give it a shot at least for 1 week not so sure about the 2 lol

i got my new pair of Asics i just loved the ones i got for my birthday ! so i had to order my Daughter some track shoes and while i was doing that a pair for MAMA just right in to the cart lol i got 20% off of them or i would have passed we got 3 pairs of shoes for only $106 who could pass that up right;)

Bites OF this and THAT~Happier Fat Girl

So i NEED to make better eating choices YET again this week i have to say this! i am still munching after 6 pm ( I DIDN'T want to do this any more ) i keep telling myself i have been doing good but really ???? have i this week i have grabed little bits of this and that i took a sneak on the scale(yes that stupid thing again ) lets just say my loss i had seen Earlier this GONE! WHAT!! but i have been tracking EVERYthing of course them bits of this and that ! i HOPE it is only because i had a late night snack and that is what made me weight more i guess it will all be told in the am !


WAS I A HAPPIER FAT GIRL???
i often ask myself this i don't think so well maybe just on different levels so should this really matter to me ??? all i think about 90% of the day is my weight , what i am going to eat , how i look , how much i weigh AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! it gets so DRAINING at times i feel some days i am drowning my self in my "diet" world when i was fat i just ATE what ever when ever how ever and i NEVER thought about ANY OF IT !! but did i have days where i felt like a FAT COW and i wanted to change YEP!
SO WHAT FEELS BETTER!
Living life always thinking about EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH?
OR
Being Fat and wishing you were thin ?????
WILL I EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME ????
see you in the Am for WI.................

Self Sabatage

Yes that is just about what i did last night as i was in SELF pity mode i just started to EAT! and not care what was going in my mouth and when i am done doing this i feel HORRIBLE!
so on top of self Pity last night Lilleigh was sick so she was not in good shape witch sent me in to my emotional eating OMG !! i can't blow all that i have worked so hard for the last 3 wks (almost)
Anther thing that sent me to self Pity is i feel i work my butt off everyday working out i want that STUPID scale to say more then 1lb !!!!
i still have been getting on the scale EVERYDAY !! i can't seem to get grips and STOP! all i see is NO CHANGE WHY!! WHY !!! WHY!!! i have done well this week up till last night and really still done all that with in reason ! i know i have took bites here and there but my Deflect # are GREAT but no LOSS !
(OK so i can't send my self back in to self pity today or i will blow it for sure!)
WI is not till Thur so maybe something will fall off by then !?!?
(this is so why i HATE getting on the scale EVERYDAY (someone LOCK that thing UP )
