I'm stronger now...

Oh man....I am having one of those nights tonight.  You see not only do I love food....but I am also an emotional eater.  I eat when I'm happy, sad, mad....you name it.  Tonight I had some stuff go on in my personal life and normally this would send me on a binge.  But instead of turning to food like I normally do, I dealt with it head-on.  I realized that I have come too far to mess this up for anyone.  I am doing this for me and regardless of what may go on in my life or what may tempt me I must learn how to deal with it without using food.  So just wanted to send a quick update since this was on my mind. 

Is this some kind of sick joke???

The good news: I have lost another pound.....so I am down a total of 10 pounds in a week.  I am very excited about my progress and will continue to use it as motivation to press forward. 

Now the sick joke......once again I am stuck at 200 pounds!!!  What kind of mess is this?  Well this time around I am prepared to get below the 200 mark and will do so by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.  I am focused and in it for the long haul so I am ready to kiss 200 goodbye.....muah! :)

Journey to weight loss

The purpose of this blog is to document my weight loss journey. This is my third attempt at losing weight in about 6 months and I am CONFIDENT that this will be my last attempt.  I am determined to win (DtRmNd2win) this time around and refuse to let my battle with weight get the best of me.  So please enjoy and feel free to comment and share your personal stories. 

Well......today is day 6 and I have lost 9 pounds so far! This is a wonderful thing but I know that I don’t have any room to celebrate yet. Why? Because I have been here plenty of times before (in the past 6 months) and the end result is me gaining the weight back. I can honestly say that this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Food is one of my addictions and it is very difficult to give up. But everyday I must remind myself of the bigger picture. I have to lose this weight in order to be healthy and regain my confidence. I know that I am not comfortable at a heavy weight and it is time that I do something to change that. So, my first goal is to reach 199. For some reason, I always get to 200 and instead of continuing to lose weight…..I blow up again. Well this time I have promised myself that it will be different and I will get to 199. I am currently at 201 and have no choice but to hit my first goal. Stay tuned to see if I make it….which I know I will. J
