Falling off the band wagon



So I fell off the wagon!

I was doing good but little by little I started to slip off (I know thats how everything starts!)! I haven't gained anything back because I was working ( on the farm) and sick! So I am still 201.2 or at night 203!


I was talking to Dan about this work trip he has in mexico in may! He has wanted me to come for a long time, and I HATED the thought of going! No not because mexico is seriously messed up right now or because I couldn't really use the vacation from this crappy spring! No, I don't want to go because I don't want to put my body in a swimsuit in front of Dan's co-workers!

Can you imagine me with my 200lb body laying next to 4 women who have never had kids and are all under a size 6! Yeah for me!!!!!! NOT! Besides that I am a freak with 4 kids ( only 2-3 people with dan's work have kids and no one else has more than 3, and they are all in there late 30's to early 40's!) I am also huge!!!

So after talking to my sister in-law about this trip and summer hopefully coming this year, I am re-dedicated!!! I am getting on the eliptical and working out everyday this week!!

I need to go shopping but I have some food in the house and no sugar! oh and dan is gone! Which always helps me eat better!

On one more note! I am so proud of my friend Kristy who lost 10lbs! She has reminded me to stick with it and it will happen!! Thanks again Kristy!!

Remember, slow and steady is best. I lost 1/2 lb this week (it took a whole week) but that's ok. I can live with it. Good luck and I hope spring weather comes your way. Love ya!!!

Sar,
I have a LOT more than you to lose, & I only have half the kids you do!! Give yourself some credit, you are doing amazing! I seriously believe that having friends to journey with makes this so much easier. Then you have to report to someone.

I started The South Beach Diet 3 weeks & 1 day ago because of you. I figured that the whole purpose behind this plan is EXACTLY what I need. I had to cut out every single thing that I was "addicted" to. I wasn't living on good foods. It was all empty calories with high sugar & bad carbs. I have felt awesome and discovered it is actually easier than I thought.

I hope you can hold on tight to the wagon, because it really keeps me focused as well. I love you & am so glad that you are willing to share your personal self. :)

side note: it doesn't matter your size or what you look like, any person from Dan's work should be honored to know you. Your personality is more than a joy. :)
