Well before I got my digital camera, I was using my camera phone to take progress pics. I never took the photos off the camera because I don’t have the cord to sync it to the computer. I looked at those pics today and the new pic I posted and I am sitting here wipiing the tears away. All that hard work, the muscles, the smaller waist went away. I got a new job six months ago. When I started I was getting leaner, eating six meals a day, exercising 6 days a week with weights and cardio on alternating days, I was drinking my water. Then it started getting harder to eat the 5- 6 meals a day. Breakfast became whatever I could grab as I ran out the door at 6am and a grande concotion from Starbucks before work at 9am. Lunch was whatever was easy for me to microwave, so I fell back into chicken nugets with a salad as I ate while working. Some days I went hours before eating. A snack of whatever dessert someone brought in or chips. Diner when I got home at 8pm was a waffle, bagel, or a small bowl of ice cream.  I was eating things I enver would have on any other day than my free day… sugar became an addiction again, butter was on my english muffin instead of the spray butters, desserts became my staple instead of the protein shakes I was using. Calories and portion sizes were just like they never existed. I grabbed pumpkin muffins, cookies, brownies, holiday treats galore. Every day someone was bringing in dougnuts, munkins, bagels, etc. I was drinking more sugar-ladden coffee than I was water. I was exhausted from the 3 hr commute, working through my lunch hr, and getting home at night. Just to be able to shower, grab something to eat, and do my bills. By the time I went to bed it was midnight and then a few hours of sleep it all happened again. My weekends were no better laundrey, housework, bills that came in the mail. It just has been this endless cycle. I’m so mad at myself for letting it happen. For letting myself lose sight of all the hard work I had accomplished. For living for my job and not myself. For forgetting all those principles of clean eating. For not getting off my butt and exercising. For not visiting this site and bfl tracker for the support I desperately needed. I watched the Biggest Loser finale online and I saw the desire and the fire that was once in me, but somehow it had been forgotten. Now as I sit and look at that picture of myself I know I need that desire and fire back. As the tears well in my eyes I am reminded of it and am ready to begin again. It has been a set back I promised myself I never would let happen again. It did and the only one I can blame is myself.

Ok so I saw the pics today of Brittney Spears… she wore a dress so short it covered nothing….. her cottage  cheese azz was hanging out… that made me feel a little better today… on to better things by bi’s and tri’s are coming out again… woohoo and my clothes are getting loose…. It’s weird I always had "medical professionals" telling me the secret to losing weight was to eat less and exercise more… I did that like 600 calories a day and an undiagnosed hypothyroid- I lost but then it just kept me there at one weight…. it’s funny now I’m on thyroid meds and  I am eating now like 4-5 meals a day (depending on what time I wake up– eating every 4 hrs) and I lost weight and now am the same weight I was back then but more muscular and looking better… sometimes doctors just have no clue…. I’m liking my new body so far– I couldn’t fit in to XL without them being tight at NY & Co. now I fit into a M…..woohooo!!!!

Ok So I read this article on FitSugar.com

It is one thing to say that someone is _________ because of xyz reason, but to fine them.. who do they think they are. We live in a society that is wrecked… our food, air and water are contaminated, healthier foods are expensive, drug companies get kickbacks for denying people(see Michael Moore’s new movie) .. give me a break. What about people who have chronic conditions that cannot help it- that is discrimination. Granted we as Americans are getting fatter– why??? Well let’s see portions are astronomical, good food is more expensive then those McDonald’s fries that never go bad (see Super Size Me), work days are getting longer, there are more sednitary things(computers, video games, etc.), there are hidden fats and chemicals in our foods, school lunches are the equivalent to fast food, — the list can go on… But this supposed hospital fails to see that bloodpressure often has nothing to do with weight or diet, sometimes it is heridity that plays a part- same thing as cholesterol. Everything comes down to the benjamins… well a good worker works 90 hours a week, but because we have to pay health insurance and he has xyz condition- lets charge him– that’s preposterous. How about people with Parkinson’s, Cancer, MS, Diabeties, Thyroid Problems, AIDS??? What about broken bones, torn muscles?? Heck, why don’t we just charge everyone because everyone has a problem or will have a problem some how at some time. The problem in America is big business wanting to make money. That is why we are getting tainted items from China, shipping our customer service to India, etc. Money. It’s all about who has it, who wants it, who wants more and who doesn’t have it at all. Big business in the US have become greedy and who is suffering– the American public. It’s sick. Big businesses should be penalized for not putting their employees and the general public into consideration and that money will be put to good use for the public ( like inspecting foods, making prescriptions/ good food more affordable, finding cures for diseases, etc) … Now that would make for a very interesting and better country. How about this company instead of docking their employees pay checks help the problem– like establishing better eating habits with a good food cafeteria, health education, after hours or lunch break exersing- like walks, etc…oh wait that would cost $$$ and thats what it is all about.
