I don’t know about all of you, but I’m glad today is Friday. It’s been a crazy week. The kids and I have pretty much gotten ourselves settled in here at my cousin’s home. It’s been an adjustment for all of us, but at the same time it’s been really good. I went job hunting yesterday, and now I’m playing the “hurry up and wait” game. I pray someone calls me soon, so I can get to work and start providing for my family.

I have had a really good “eating” week, although I still haven’t started walking yet. I will get there eventually, and I know I will feel so much better after a good brisk walk!

Well, I have to get myself ready and get some things done today. I hope you all have a wonderful week-end! Big hugs to all my buddies, thank you for your continued support and encouragement. Each one of you are truly a blessing!

Can I get whoot whoot?? I am down 4 lbs this week!! I’m sure most of it is stress from the move and worrying 24/7…..but still 4 lbs gone! I have to thank all of my buddies again for the support and friendship…you guys are what keep me from going to the fridge in the middle of the night. When I start stressing and want to eat for all the wrong reasons, I come here and read your blogs and it helps me stay on track. Big hugs to you all!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, but there have been some major changes in my life. This past Friday I broke up with my boyfriend. His jealousy had become more than I could deal with. I have moved an hour and half away from my home to stay with my cousin and her family. I don’t know anyone here, I don’t have a job but I feel better than I have in a very long time. My kids are with me, and we will move on and start a new life together.

I have been so pre-occupied with the move, that for once my eating has not been number one on my mind. I’m anxious to see what the scales have to say in the morning….hopefully another pound will be gone. Luckily where I’m staying right now I have an excellant place to walk everyday, so I am excited about that.

 I hope all of you are doing great, and I am going to go catch up on my ‘blog reading” right now…I have missed being on here the last several days and have a lot of catching up to do.

Today was my “weigh day”, and I can’t believe I lost 2 pounds!!  I had a terrible time with my eating last week, so I was expecting to have gained…but thank the Lord I didn’t….I couldn’t be happier right now. I couldn’t have done it without all the wonderful support I have received here from my buddies…thank you all!!

Alright everyone, it’s a new week, which means new opportunities to be the best we can be! Let’s all make this week a great one. I hope we all see a drop on the scales and a boost of energy and confidence!!

Alright….what do I do when the man I love doesn’t support me? He says he’s afraid that if I lose weight I will leave him….I am so frustrated!! If I wanted to leave him my weight would not be a factor in my decision, I was overweight when we met. Any advice??

Oh man what a week this has been. I have ate entirely too much. It seems like everytime I try to start over I end up getting myself deeper in the “hole”. I have decided though, that I can no longer continue to abuse my body this way. I overeat when I’m stressed out, and this past week has been a doozie in the stress department. For whatever reasons, which I will not bore you with today; I have binged worse than I have in years. I actually made myself physically sick. I was in the bathroom all day yesterday, and and in bed all day today. I know I cannot continue to abuse my body this way. I have got to remind myself everyday that eating when I’m stressed, sad, lonely and depressed does not make me feel any better. It just makes me feel worse, and puts me farther behind in my weight loss goals.

I can’t tell all of you how happy I am that I have found this website. I know that I am not alone, and I’m not the only one struggling, and for those who are succeeding, I can find inspiration to keep moving forward. Thank you all for your support and kindness!

I have started so many “new days” I almost feel weary just writing the words. I want so badly to lose weight, but somedays it’s just more than I can deal with. I wake up every day with good intentions to eat less, to exercise, to not let anyone or anything cause me to run to the kitchen for comfort, but everyday I find myself eating out of anger, sadness, or just plain boredum. I don’t want to be an emotional eater anymore. I want food to be for the nourishment of my body, not a band-aid for my broken heart.
