Overcoming Obeasity

I am FINALLY going to be uploading new pics soon! I talked to my boss last night and he let me have off Black Friday so I will be hitting the local papers to find the cell phone sales and see where to go to get the best deal, thus finally be able to take and upload pics on a regular basis again. I can’t wait to actually SEE some progress. Last time I took pics (the one you see via profile) was when i was in the 150’s range. I’m now 128 lbs (STUCK at 128 lbs, stupid plateau!)

Aside from that, I’m dreading Thanksgiving. It’s literally a holiday devoted to a huge feast… which is like "death" to ME. I love turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes (NO gravy!) and REAL cranberry sauce (NOT the canned crap!) and pumpkin pie annnnnnd, a new tradition my dads wifes mother introduced me to, Maryland Crab Cakes… they are sooo good!

 Bah! You can tell I’m such a huge fatty! Least I lost OVER 100 lbs, so I’m not AS fat. I think I will post a picture of my highest weight next to a picture of me NOW. By the way, if anyone reads this far, and wants to see pics of me, Black Friday is THIS friday. So PLEASE, check back here on Friday night because I will probably post pics ASAP and i will want LOTS of feed back for inspiration and motivation.

Take care people, and have a Happy Holiday!

To put it bluntly: Losing fast in the begining and slower near the end, sucks. I know it’s "healthy" to lose only a couple pounds a week (2-3 tops, I think)… but it just is very agravating too. By this point I want to be done with it already, I wish it would  go the opposite way, like slow begging and quicker ending.

 I’ve set my personal goal to lose 3 pounds a week and I am right on target… i just hate how in the begining i was losing like 7 - 10 pounds a week. (i was HUGE! remember people i lost over 100 lbs so at the time it was not unhealthy for me to do). So just in comparison naturally I’m being over impatient.

 Also… I need to be stricter in diet and working out but can’t bring myself to do so. One of those situations where i know what i *should* be doing, but can never "stick" to it. I know I should be all lean protein and less fat/sugar… well cutting out fat for me is remarkably easy. I actually don’t care about fat anymore. I realised sugar is my new weakness.

 I never used to care about sugar in my early days, i was all about fats and carbs. But I have been noticing it’s near imposible for me to find beverages with no sugar and no chemicals. Everything is either loaded with sugar, checmicals, or sodium. Except the almighty WATER…. which makes me sick. (i’ve tried EVERYTHING, taking little sips alllll day for over a month(s) at a time, drinking it cold, drinking it warm, drinking tap, drinking bottle, distilled/spring etc…. yada yada, always makes ME sick).

I’ve never tried energy drinks… considering i lost this weight by avoiding chemicals and energy drinks represent the epitome of what caused me to gain all the weight i did to begin with (since to me they are nothing but chemicals in a can)… i tend to rather avoid them. I should post a question about this where I might actually get an answer…

 In any case, slow and steady is the best way to go, I just need to ride this out till the end …where ever the end may be.

That’s right, i was 230 lbs BEFORE, and I got on the scale today: 130.0 lbs! I lost one HUNDRED pounds! It’s killing me that i have no way to post a damn progress pic cuz i REALLY want to show my success (even though I still plan to keep losing). I’m ready to get a damn disposable cam just so I have -some- visual record of this day.

 Anyhow… this is just a quick update. So nothing more to really say. I’m still going strong and plan to stay strong in this battle. Much luck to all who are on their way to their goals too, and much thanks to all those who have given me support along my way.
