So, maybe I should have eaten dinner BEFORE I checked the blog...I'm feeling like I don't deserve to eat right now.
My BMI is literally not even on the chart...I am 5'10" and this morning I weighed 341.8 so my BMI is approximately 50. I have lost 78.2 pounds. My healthy weight range is 130-175. That means I need to lose at least another 167 pounds. I have almost lost a third of what I need to lose.
If I hadn't already packed my scanner and old photos, I would post a picture from when I was at my thinnest. But even then, I was 170 and wore a size 14 - I have been fat my whole life. As disheartened as I am right now about the road that lies ahead of me, I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of not being able to shop where I want to shop. I'm tired of having to fly first class because I can't fit in a coach seat. I'm tired of being tired after climbing the stairs.
And I have done nothing positive for myself this week. I am home alone, trying to pack for the move to MA and I have been using this an excuse to eat like crap. I have eaten a baked potato and chicken nuggets from Wendy's, Domino's pizza, and pasta (and have drank quite a bit of wine) - not a salad or piece of fruit in sight. This morning I decided to stop giving myself excuses - I got a 6" turkey sub from Subway for lunch and then went to the grocery store and bought salad stuff, bananas, rasberries, apples, ground turkey breast, chicken cutlets, cereal and milk.
I want to do this. I need to do this. I want to do this. I need to do this.
You want to do this. You need to do this. You want to do this. You need to do this.
P.S. to Yvette - It may have been 70 in Georgia today but I'll be back in Massachusetts too soon!

Being Fat....I am fat and my BMI is 34. I am 41 years old with three kids and I want to make sure that I see them all grow up. That's my reason for losing weight. Seeing them every day is a constant reminder of what I am working towards.
Good News for me today...I work my snowblower for about 2 1/2 hours and I wasn't tired when I was done. Last year, that was not the case. I know that I have not done well these past two weeks, but I am trying. Everyone else, keep up the good work. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Isn't it great when you notice that things are changing positively! I know that 4 months and 80 pounds ago, I would not have been able to pack and move as effectively as I can now. Keep up the great work Mike! Hope to see you and your clan soon!!
Katie, we all have those "feeling blue" days, so don't get discouraged. It must be super hard for you being alone in Georgia, but it won't be forever. Soon you'll be reunited with Chris and the rest of the family and you'll long for those "quiet" days....ha ha!! You've done great so far losing almost 1/3rd of the weight to reach your goal. That's really good for only a little over 3 months! Do something good for yourself today....you deserve it!!
Hope to see you soon!!
