FlutterbiesRFun's blog: "Dieting"

I NEED BETTER WILL POWER...A REASON TO WORK HARDER....I AM ONLY DOWN HALF A POUND FROM ALMOST 3 WEEKS AGO! NEED HLEP!!!!

Week 1 is done & I'm down a couple more pounds! Yeah! Just gotta keep up the good work!!! :0) I got a new link in my bracelet from my mom since I am down another 5 lbs....I'm at 37 lbs from April 2008. YEAH!!!!!! (Now I just gotta find the bracelet......:()

Well I am happy to say I have re-lost the weight I gained back after quitting the "diet center". Back down to as light as I have ever been in my adult life. This time I did it the old fashioned way - diet/exercise. This means since Thanksgiving I've gone from 303 to 283 - 20lbs. Yeah!!!! Most of that was probably water weight but hey - lbs gone are lbs gone!!! Yeah!! Hope I can keep changing my eating habits and keep loosing weight.

Weighed in tonight...lost 2 more lbs so down to 31.5 lbs gone. the lady I met with today wasn't very good...she is new. Felt bad cause I cried. She said something about my contract was up....said I would have to pay more due's to keep visiting the diet center. I told her if that is the case I don't think I'll continue. Cost me $400 to join the program plus I pay about $100 a week buying the protien drinks I have to take and the herbs I choose to take. She talked to a long term employee I have worked with all along and she said not to worry about it and we will cross that bridge when/if it happens. I was sad and glad to hear that. Sad cause it would be a good reason to quit. Glad because I can't use it as a reason to quite. :0) Bought a book tonight called "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies". Talks about the emotional well being of woman. I hope it will give me some help. Time will tell. Thanks for reading!

I'm stuck at 32 lbs....I wish I could break through...I gained 8 lbs so was back up and now I have lost those 8 lbs. I miss food such as pizza and chinese food. With football season and fall here I am craving Chili. MMMMMM I know food won't solve my problems but for some reason I keep going back to it. I keep thinking I am going to quit but then I don't wanna be a quitter. So tired of dieting...loosing weight is not making me happy when I thought it would. I feel as bad as I did before. What can I do to find my smile....I really miss it!!!

Last Tuesday I went in and I hit 30lbs gone! Yeah! I got to sign the 30lbd board and I got a new link for my bracelet - a yellow rose! This weekend has been bad for me regarding my diet. I went to a music festival with my family and I just couldn't resist my mom's baking. She isn't a good cook but she can bake! Now that I am home I need to get back on the wagon. I so wanna loose the weight but yet I wanna have fun. I feel its sad that I think I have to eat to have fun. I need to change this thinking. I bought a guitar this weekend for $50. I hope that I can turn it into a hobby. I bought a self teaching book but I think I am going to have to find a teacher here in town. I know of 2 places I can try so I think I will look into that tomorrow. Plus I need to get it tuned since it sounds aweful. LOL Also I think I would like to learn how to dance. I had a good time dancing with my step-dad but he isn't very good at teaching. Things to think about anyway.....

I just have to write that my mom is GREAT! To tell me she is proud of me she bought me an Italian Charm Bracelet and a charm for every 5 lbs I have lost so far and told me for every 5 lbs I loose she will buy me a new charm. It's cool since it works out to be an entire bracelet. I have 5 charms so far and 2 on order - the ones she gave me tonight are: 1) Feet on a Scale 2) I love my dog (wish it said dogs but still true) 3) In Memory of my Dad 4) A white sparkly butterfly 5) A shooting start with the words "Wish Upon a Star" The ones I have on order are a yellow rose to represent my grandma n. and one that says "Betty" to represent my grandpa n. He used to call me "Betty" as a pet name. Made me feel special and makes me know how proud she is of me. Nice feeling. I love her so very much and don't know where I would be without her!

Yipppeee! I lost another 2.5 lbs That makes 27 lbs gone. :0) I should be happy but I don't feel very happy. Oh well.....its still me and that's the part I don't like. Ha!

HOORAY! I've lost another 5.5 lbs since Wednesday, June 6th. That is a total of 24.5 lbs. :0) That means I have 47.5 more lbs to loose to hit my main goal. I hope to have it lost by September 8th but I dont know if I can do it. I hope so since they told me that would happen if I did what they told me. 72 lbs in 24 weeks. Time will tell........
