Here We Go... Again

So, I'm starting over. It all fell apart as soon as Easter had come and gone and I've gone nowhere but up since then. So, I'm starting over. I packed my lunch box with low point foods today, have turned down about 5 offers of Panera bagels, and am currently eating 1 point soup while anxiously awaiting the EOG scores of my students... which arrived hours ago but haven't been released to us yet....

Wish me luck (again) and hope that I can find the will power I need to continue on more than a day!

Confessions from the yo-yo dieter

Ok, so I confess, I have not been on in over two weeks. But it seems to m e that our followers have dropped off...... Even so, I must put into writing my confession and my sins.

At my highest weight, I was 218 that was in October of 2008, when we started this journey I was 211.......all WAY more than i should weigh..... At my lightest during this journey i was at 189, but that was unrealistic as I had been sick for a week, so I count my lowest weight as 191.5

so, in january when I broke my foot, I fell completely off the exercise wagon, and it has been hard to get back on.

I didn't step on a scale for three weeks, and when I did on Monday I was shocked and depressed, I was 195 and that upset me. But as my partner has stated, I continued on the sabotage path.

This morning, I weighed 194 andthat should be a victory for me, but I am stuck.....

I wanted to hire a personal trainer for 6 weeks, but now that has to be postponed due to budget cuts and money shortages.... So I will do it in July once I have gotten my loan money....

Ugh so here I sit, fat as I always have been, making no strides in the right direction, no motivation and back to where I started from.

I don't know how to stop this freight train of failure, I am stuck on it and even though when i put the bad foods in my mouth I KNOW and hate that I am eating it, I do it anyway......

Stress is also a huge issue. Between my stresses at work which are many, I am embarking on my final doctoral semester and the work load is MORE than UNreasonable........But I have to do it....

So, wish me luck, but I know that the next month will be hard, and that if I can lose a little or stay the same I will be pleasantly surprised....

And that my friends is a confession from the Yo-Yo Dieter!
