It’s the journey, not the destination. I’ve got to be able to enjoy my weight loss, and learn to love taking care of myself, treating “exercise” and “diet” as expressions of self-worth.
Ridiculous to hope or expect that others will love me more than I love myself.

Aye-yai-yai. WTF? I’ve been doing 6WBMO pretty darn faithfully for the past 2 weeks, and only 6 lbs. lost?! My friend’s wedding is May 23. MAY 23RD!
And so, my sister and mom are coming over tonight to see what I look like in my pretty, ill-fitting bridesmaid dress (the fat one, the back-up dress). But [...]

I’m not posting my weight today because I DIDN’T LOOK!
Yesterday wasn’t an especially HARD day. Wasn’t an especially LONG day. But I CHEATED, CHEATED, CHEATED.
First, there were the 2 tiny pieces of cake at my best friend’s at-work wedding shower. THEN, when I came home, I just wanted to go out to dinner with my [...]

While I weigh less than I did yesterday, I really stepped into a pile of chocolate this morning.
I ate cake at the employee get-together for my friend and her fiance (oh, and drank sparkling grape juice, which is also completely against my diet). Ironically, I’ve been trying to avoid such fat food so I may squeeze into [...]

Truly, health requires a lifestyle change. It’s not a combination of diet or exercise program.
It’s WHO I MUST BE. Part of who I am. It’s how I behave, and what I must do. How I think. An attitude shift.
It’s got to be mental and physical. Being and doing. Thinking and acting.
A lot of times, the people [...]

Eureka. A breakthrough. After 8 years of marriage, in the midst of cleaning all the nooks and crannies that H always ignores on his “get-it-done” cleaning sprees, I realized the way we both view, maintain, and clean the house resembles the way we view, maintain, and “clean” (i.e., solve problems, avoid negative communication, etc.) our [...]

Yesterday afternoon, I checked out some of the plus-size clothing links available on this site. Yikes.
Amid a few very good links, I noticed some definite similarities in the bridesmaid, cocktail, and after-5 dress departments among many of the sites:
1) Big girls like black, black and black. Or shrill colors like electric blue, canary yellow, lime green or [...]

H and I are back on the Mort Fertel bandwagon. We’d tried doing his marriage fitness boot camp last summer, but fell away from it entirely. We also fell away from working out, dieting, etc. We have to get back into the healthy behaviors.
My matron-of-honor dress arrived from Coldwater Creek and it’s too freakin’ small. I’m [...]
