Nothing feels right when i'm not with you

so depressed about my personal life.
which leads me to over eat and this is the most depressed i've been my whole life and i don't know how much i can take i feel like i'm going to fall a part for good.

I've cried everyday for over a month now. I'm not sure if things will get better. Sometimes things they get worst before they get better. and I wonder if there is still worst to come before things get better. I can't think about that right now. I need to focus all my attention on my weight and stuff.

okay so i'm eating less and working out more. but it sucks because if i have a day that i eat what i want then i gain like 1lb or .5lb

i feel like right now the only control i have over my life is my weight loss. I want my loss to mirror my life, if i can lose this weight then i can do other things in my life that i also want to do.

it sucks that when u make a small mistake and you don't know how much it's going to affect u'r life. right now i feel like life really sucks.

ok back to my weight i need to get down to 140lbs and i will be happy. i'm like 176lbs need to get to 140lbs...... 37lbs to lose.

nov 24-dec 31st 5 weeks to lose about 14lbs.
then i have all of jan to lose 13lbs and that makes a total of 27lbs
then feb 1=29 to lose the last 10lbs and i don't really have much more tolerance for trying after this march 1st is the end of all this. i'm so tried and i'm sick of waiting to be the person i want to be.
so anyways this is my powering through until march 1st 2009 and then maybe the summer i will wear that swim suit i always wanted to.

What I ate

Toast whole wheat
peanut butter
jam
yogurt
chocolate milk
Ritz crackers
chocolate milk

Seven days into November already

It's already a week into November. So this has been the most stressful few weeks of my life. I lost some weight because of the stress first starting off and now my stress is causing me to eat. I'm trying to control my eating and plus I have no money anyways for junk food.

I have problems in all areas of my life and I just need to work them out one at a time. I need to now stress about things I can't change right now. So right now I'm trying to find a job. Just a small stupid job I can do until I don't need it anymore and I can quit. But I really need the money. My internet is going to be cut soon. So if you don't hear from me in a while it's because I have no internet.

I'm hoping to hear back from a place this week, if not then I'm stuck going back to my old job which I hate. We need some stress gone out of our life so we can have some enjoyment.

Well back to my weight, if I get too stress to workout and eat right then I have a new problem on my hands and I don't want that. If nothing is working out in my life and I am slim then things would seem better. So I need to do this to help myself now and later.

I need to get back writing what I eat and what I'm doing. So starting today I will keep writing and if my internet gets disconnected then I will write it in a book and post it later.

Emotional week

These past 11 days have been the most emotional days of my life. I won't be talking about it because it's too hard.

DG mini goals (update daily)

Today I did awesome!! I am so proud of myself and i feel good about me. I'm a little hungry but I feel really great about me self.

400 extra calories and one last time for REAL

Today is going to be a great day (diet wise)

I'm still very stressed about my personal life, and yesterday I let it get the better of me. I ate my weight in junk and that's never going to happen again. I am going to plan some junk food into my menu from now on. and when I get that feeling during the week I will pick the day I want to eat my small amount of junk.

I will give myself an extra 400 calories for the whole week. and when the day is the worst for me then I will eat my calories. That is my new plan to deal with a day like yesterday. I do not ever want to feel like food has the answers and it will fix the problems and I don't want to feel out of control and want anything from food other then nutrition.

My weight has affected all parts of my life and I want to be done with it. I want that issue to be over with. I need to deal with things in other ways other then food. Food is for your health and I'm using if against my health. It should help me stay a live not kill me. I know I've said it one hundred million times that this time is going to be my time but this time I'm SURE of it. This time I'm going to do it one last time and for good. No more stopping and going, losing and gaining. Other people do it everyday and I will too. I will do it and it starts today. I have faith in myself even if no one else does.

This is not motivation to get me through this week. I mean this and you can mark my words. I have to prove myself to myself. I have been letting this go and letting this go but not anymore. Food and laziness is not going to get in my way of living life every again. Neither will fear of doing this all in vain.

I'm really done this time for good. don't believe me, check in with my three months from now and I will be 156lbs.....MARK MY WORDS I CAN AND I WILL!!!!
and then one month later 149lbs.

Okay day-DAY 11

Today has been an ok day.

I had french toast for breakfast with yogurt and strawberries and some green tea.

Grapes
waffers
cheese crackers
small sugar cookie

Thinking about the hunger scale has really been helping me. I think about if I am really hunger before I eat, and depending on how hunger i am then i choose what to eat.

I need to eat all the fresh foods first so that don't go bad before i move on to processed foods. If I eat the boxed things first then the fresh food will go back and that would be a big waste of money which we don't have much of right now.

I'm going to do my workout again today and do some weights. I'm going to go make the chicken for supper now and use some of the fresh food with supper.


orange
yogurt
drink some water

and then wait for supper.

Better days a head

Last night I went to be ill because of the junk I ate. I am having a better day today. I did eat a cookie but it was some kinda oatmeal and it was my lunch. I really need to stick to eating only things i can count the calories for sure not guess them.

I have big plans for october and I really wanted to be 170lbs but right now I'm still trying to break into the 170's so I have a new goal for now and my goal it to lose 5lbs by oct 21st. 2.5lbs each week for two weeks that is a small doable goal.

Oct 8-15 LOSE 2.5lbs
Oct 15-21 LOSE 2.5lbs

What I need to do to reach my goal

Wednesday

workout for at lest 30 minutes
drink 8 glasses of water
eat veggies for supper
and jello for snack

Crappy day

today was stupid and crappy and i will do better tomorrow.
I'm sick from all the junk I ate today and sad too. More sad then sick. Some times i feel like i can't do this and I should just give up. I feel so depressed and I feel like the only person who has this hard a time. It feels like 24 hours is too long in one day to eat right and not mess up. I need some real help like boot camp.

Well without boot camp I will have to do this alone. Right now I feel so horrible and sick and fat and useless. oh crap what a crappy day for me. I want to just wake up thin. I'm sick of trying to take this one day at a time.... (tear) I'm going to show and go to bed and try and do this all over again but better.

I will not buy anymore ice cream no matter if it's on sale for 1$ and I will not eat any pie even though it's free. I will send it away. I will not bring anymore junk into this house
and I will drink 8 glass of water a day.

NO JUNK
8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY
WORKOUT 4 DAYS A WEEK
LEAVE SOMETHING ON MY PLATE ALWAYS
KEEP BUSY

Missed a day

not sure why i didn't blog yesterday. Yesterday was a okay day. I did some weight training. I also had a big bowl of ice cream. I wanted to go for a long walk but I didn't so this time I'm going to try harder.

I do need to write down what I eat everyday because when I don't I go over. even when I'm worried that what i ate was bad i still need to write it down.

Breakfast
.5 cup of strawberries 25 calories
1.5 cup of ice cream 510 calories ( I could have had 10 cups of strawberries for that amount of cal)
sucker 50 cals

Lunch
cup of soup 100 calories

bad day, i'm gonna walk it off or something.

Me in a swimsuit

Day 3-Small changes

I read the tip of the day and it said to make small changes. So that got me thinking about the small changes I can make. Something that will stick and I will be able to use for good.

Do not drink juice anymore, only water and calorie free things.

.5 glass = 50 cals*5= 250 extra cals a week and 1000 a month =12000 cals a year is 3.4lbs a year

Mop my floor ten minutes a day is 50cals *5= 12000 a year which is minus 3.4lbs a year.






I hate math.

when I think of some more small changes I will write them down.

one small yet large change is to DRINK 8 glasses of water each day.

DAY 1

I always starts diets on the first of all most every month. Today I woke up and had pizza for breakfast, that was not my plan but i have it out of my system now and it's time to get back on track.

it seems to me that i always have to be in the right state of mind in order to do well. sometimes i have this willpower that is very powerful and i want to keep going and going and it's also when i see results like one pound a day and then when it slows down so do i.

when my feelings change and i feel like this is never going to happen for me then i stop. october is going to be my month for real change and if i only lose 10lbs chances are i won't gain it back all in a week end like i did last time.

October holds the key for me, this month I will prove myself to myself. I really need to cause i;m starting to lose faith in me. 10lbs of REAL FAT is awesome. not water weight not muscle not anything but some real gross fat. I can do it. I will post 4 october videos and it will be awesome. i will need a new skirt when this month ends and i will be a year older. TO THE NEW ME!!!

Plan for the month of OCTOBER

Eat Lots of fruits and veggies. Try and avoid starchy veggies and fruits high in sugar and high on the GI chart.

Avoid
White breads and white pasta and anything not whole wheat and multi grain.
Doughnuts
cakes
sugar
cookies and high sugar snacks
white rice
puffed wheat cereal
cornflakes
millet
watermelon
chips
candy
dates

Eat
1200 calories of
veggies,fruits,lean meats and whole grains.

Exercise
4 days a week for 30-45 minutes

Drink
Diet pop
water (LOTS)
green tea

DON'T GIVE UP!!! Push through it for 30 days!!!

Monday

Tomorrow is the last day of the month. I've been feeling so depressed lately. I want to do well and I want to lose weight and have a good new year. I wanted to lose all the weight I needed to by the end of 2008 so I would not have to start 2009 off trying to lose weight. It is so hard sometimes well it's hard all the time. Sometimes I just don't know how people do it. what do they have that I don't have? why do I suck at doing this??

I've been trying for so long and some people come along and the first try they get it right. I keep trying and trying but I just can't stick with it. I need to have a no fail plan. I read the Dr.Phil book and I thought for sure that would help but it didn't. I'm sure it helped others but not me. I wonder what book would help me. I think what I need is a gym membership and a little will power, Dr.Phil says will power is not what I need to lose weight. I have no money for a gym pass.

I need to be more positive when it comes to weight loss. I think I need to believe in myself more.

sucking right now

SEPTEMBER 25th 2008

I am sucking with this weight loss stuff right now. Somedays I do awesome like i'm made for this and other days i'm horrible. I'm a little confused as to what I want to do to lose all this fat. I keep losing and gaining back the same stupid 15lbs. I'm now not sure about weight watchers. I know counting your points is awesome and proable worth doing but I hate doing it. It feels like such a waste of time. I just want to count calories but I suck at that too. I suck at everything and now it feels like my time is coming to an end. I set a goal as to when I wanted to lose this weight and I'm so close to the date but so far away from the weight.

I will think of something tonight. I'm glad I'm on you tube it is encouaging to have peoples support. I think I can I think I can I know I can.

My reason for posting you tube video's is to get encouragement from others who are trying to do the same thing as me. I also would like to see myself from start to finish losing this weight.

My reason for posting blogs on blogger is because somethings I want to write down, like what i am doing to lose weight and i want to write it in detail.
