Okay…I disappeared for a long while, but I’m back with a great attitude. It’s my birthday, and I decided this would be a gift to myself. Being accountable for things that I am doing…for the weight I am not losing without the support that is MUCH needed. I wasn’t around much before I left, but I vow to stick around this time.

I was going through some medical problems before. I had bad stomach aches and chest pain. It took what felt like forever to be diagnosed with gallbladder problems. I had surgery on the 22nd of last month and I feel better every day. Well, on most days…when I eat right. I also suffer from GERD. (gastroesophageal reflux disease) which I know losing weight and eating right would help decrease the side effects. Sooooooooo….here I am!! I’m back on the bandwagon and raring to go! I am starting weight watchers (tomorrow or tuesday) I’m that kind of person that has to have lots of support. So, here I am. I’m asking for your help and support. We can do this together! I want to feel good. I want to be slim!!

It comes down to one question:  What do you want out of life…and what are you willing to do to make it happen?

Anything is possible. It’s your choice whether or not YOU choose to make it happen.

The day started off bad, my bird passed away early this morning. After burying her in the back yard, I went out to clean the cage and wham, got stung on the bottom of my foot by a yellow jacket! OUCH! I should have been wearing shoes…oh well! I’ll survive.

Other than my terrible day, I’ve been doing pretty good on my diet this week. I got on the scale this morning (before everything went down hill) and saw that I have dropped around 3 lbs. WOOHOO! I hope it stays off and isn’t just water weight. I have been doing good though. I’ve worked all week and had a slim fast for breakfast (because mornings are just soooo busy) and a lean cuisine for lunch, then a small amount of whatever everyone else eats for dinner. I just have to keep it up. I fudged a little this afternoon though. My son had a picnic lunch that was being given at his school for advanced students. I ate about half of a fried chicken breast and some potato salad. It was oh so yummy :) 

Back to work for friday and saturday then off on mothers day! Happy Mothers day to all of you Moms!!

Enjoy the rest of your day! I’m gonna go take an ibuprofen for my killer headache and go chill on the couch til the boys get in from school.

oh, how true! Although I really don’t know what “thin” feels like. I’ve been moderately overweight most of my life. I do know I feel good when I lose a little weight, get excited then start eating again and again and again until it all comes back. Oh, what a roller coaster! I decided that finally I need to do something because #1 I am not getting any younger #2 I have to lose weight due to being newly diagnosed with GERD (being overweight makes it worse…or so the doctor told me) #3 I have 4 wonderful sons that I want to live for #4 I want to feel good about myself and stop worrying so much about what others are thinking of me…I could go on and on and on…

I am going to try out portion control along with watching how many carbs I eat. I am a carboholic!! Not a carb free diet…I do enjoy having energy. Just lower carbs than my body is used to taking in.  We shall see…I am short. ONLY 5′0″! So I’ve got to lose around 50 lbs to get to where “the experts” say I should be.

Hoping for some good support from folks out there in the world wide web. My life is way too busy and gas is way to expensive to go out and do the whole “meeting” thing. 

Thanks for listening
