Am struggling with maintaining now. I was still losing and struggling with that…Now i am gaining…About a pound so far…Mom was on vacation this week so i have been spending alot of time with her going out to eat…Not that i have done badly and i have exercised alot but am needing to learn to deal with the spluring and not over compesating when im done with it. I think maintaining is gonna be more of a struggle for me and learning what i can and cant do. Even when I do have the moment learning not to beat myself up at the same time.  The thing about it is…I have to learn this on my own. Cant afford to go to weight watchers or any of those things so in a way for me that is good.

I realized recently that it was going to be as hard if not harder for me to maintain my loss. I decided that I needed to come back and stay on buddy slim. I have talked to quite a few nice people over the times that I had been on here.  So I am back on here to continue with my struggle of weight control.  I hope that I can use my journey to inspire others..wouldnt trade it for the world..its made me a better person.

I start a new job at a weight loss program center today..was an aswered prayer because i want to help others lose weight. I am about 10 lbs from my goal but if i stay at this weight i would be happy. Have alot of excess skin so i may not get down to my exact goal and look good doing it.  But wanted to encourage others to keep the faith. It took me well over 1 1/2 years to lose all my weight..i have had plateaus and gains but kept the faith and kept pushing. You can do it too. You will feel better mentally and physically. It has given me the confidence to change my career path and go into sales…I do ask for those who do pray for me as i do make the change..Havent worked in almost 2 years…Part of the time i took off to lose weight. Unforunatly people do judge when u come in for interviews and it makes it harder to find work. So it was another good reason to take the time to do what i needed too.

I just had a realization today. I still have that what if attitude. Ive been looking for running partners recently in my area online. I wanted someone to join me so i didnt look stupid doing the run walk thing.  I realize i have to do this if i every wanna move past where i am in my fitness level on my own.  Sunday is normally my day where i do all walking …Last sunday i walked 6 miles in 2 hours and 15 mins.  I realized my routine is getting to easy and need to add some change and variety to it. So starting sunday i will be doing running for a few walking for a few untill i can run a mile.  I may start friday when i am supposed to meet a friend out at a park depending on things work out with her but for sure sunday. Asked sister to come along with me on her days off but even if she doesnt im still going.

what i wanna know is why people are continuing giving people the satisfaction of a response. Instead of ignoring it and not giving this person the attention they are wanting.  Its why they keep posting because people respond. This is just my view but please people let it go already and IGNORE it. I know these people are a pain but if u ignore it they will eventually stop…

Just my view

had to break down and do some shopping today for new jeans…finally got into a 16-18 in the walmart brand. Was happy…Just dont like all the excess saggy skin i have…Hoping some of that will go away once i reach goal.

first time ive been sick to my stomach in ages.  i used to get sick all the time because i would eat so much i would make myself sick. Thats been the good part of being on a better eating plan. But Everything i ate yesterday went through me plus some. I have lost a lb since yeterday morning but wasnt the way i wanna do it.

I know this might sound weird…But when your 344 everythings a big deal.  I bleed heavy and its a pain in the butt in keeping ur clothes clean…I finally have lost enough weight i can finally wear a tampon ….yeah!!! and i hope it helps…..

I can fit in boths…wear tampons…things some folks take for granted ive learned to enjoy….

I wanted to share some things that have worked for me. You dont have to do it in this order its just ideas.

1. dont take on all ur bad habits at once…Try exercising first get that habit under your belt. Give urself a month or so..They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit…I dont know how this is because i think everyones different.

2.   Work on ur eating habits a little at a time for example increase water and cut out the caffiene…and maybe cut back on the out to eat….Give urself a few weeks…Then increase your fruits and veggies.

3. I also exercise twice a day…dont do it all at once…I do 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening..I know its not possible for all but i notice i can do more if i split it up.

4. I also eat several times a day..Dont allow myself to get too hungry..So its easier to push away and not over to it cause ur so hungry. Eat slowly as well..Enjoy your meals…

Step by step…Dont overwhelm yourself…Your setting yourself up for failure. ALso, I still allow myself one day a week to have a treat…I dont give myself a whole day to pig out just one treat…Like a piece of cake or some ice cream. Allows me to not feel like im doing with out…But keeping it under control at the same time…

Really  hope this helps someone, I had to learn all this myself so i want someone else to learn from my experience

I went to a plus size retail shop today and it was a drive to get there. Was pissed once i got there because she told me i have to startch and press JEANS…WHo startches and presses jeans? Im sure there are a few of you out there…and sorry to those who do…But most dont.  She said the JEANS where to wrinkled….They werent that wrinkled…Thinking she didnt like the style of jeans i brought in.
