Looking Back at Day One and Moving Forward
30. January 2010
Today I came across some notes I jotted down during the first week of my weight-loss effort, and I wanted to share some thoughts I had on Day One (September 15, 2009) here: I really believe that I will do this. I have to do this. Being 80 lbs overweight might not put me squarely [...]
Change Is Part of the Process
27. January 2010
Looking back at yesterday’s post, I’m glad you guys didn’t write me off as a total drama queen. On the face of it, all that happened was that I gained a single pound. I’m glad you were able to look a little deeper than the surface and offer such kind and helpful comments, because as [...]
Is There a Difference Between Losing Weight and Changing Your Life?
26. January 2010
Not everyone who could stand to drop a few pounds needs to completely change their life. If you are reasonably happy and fulfilled, if you are stimulated by and content with most aspects of your life and your health is good, you may be one of those people. You honestly just need to lose a [...]
I Accidentally Started Jogging
25. January 2010
I can’t believe I forgot to post about this. Well, actually I can. I have taken to embarking upon new challenges in a crablike, surreptitious fashion. Then, after they take hold, I start talking about them a little more. It’s my way of not freaking myself out. The strength training program on SparkPeople that I’ve [...]
New Clothes Make the Journey Fun
24. January 2010
I’m a satisfied customer! After striking out at Kohl’s, I found two new shirts and pairs of pants for work at The Limited and New York & Co., respectively. This shopping outing was both a mini-reward for hitting 35 lbs lost and, let’s face it, sorely needed. My previous go-to work outfits were drooping all [...]
Guess What? You Don’t Need Motivation
20. January 2010
Back during some of my less successful weight-loss attempts, I used to beat myself up for not feeling motivated. I would wake up, not feel like eating right or exercising, proceed to berate myself internally for not feeling like doing these things, and then (surprise?) not do them. But it turned out I was misguided. [...]
I’m Overweight!
19. January 2010
Today I weighed in at 168 lbs. This is fantastic because: I lost 2 lbs over the past week. I hit my next milestone of 35 lbs lost. I am now no longer obese!! I am so happy to say goodbye to Obese and hello to Overweight (but not for long!). In September when I [...]
Angles
18. January 2010
At different angles, my face can look totally different—something I learned while I was at my heaviest and attempting to take self-portraits. At very specific angles, my face didn’t look so fat. It was an optical illusion of sorts. Both of these pictures were taken today within minutes of each other: It’s all about angles. [...]
