Okay, my grandma was here last week and she left lastnight. I woke up sad because I know I wont see her again for a while. She has been more of a mother to me, in times of need she has always been there, and I love her so so much that it hurts to know that she is tired with life and missing my grandpa who passed away 9 years ago.
Last year my grandma asked me to please not cut my hair anymore, that she loved long hair and she wanted to see me grow it out, so I havent cut it. If you go to my before and after photos you will see that it was good advice, and it was nice to see her so happy. Well, before she left yesterday she begged me to lose some weight and be healthy, that she hated seeing me like this and she can see the unhappiness in my eyes because of my weight. I cannot deny my grandma anything, and although everyone says do this for you, this is something that will keep me going when I want to give up, because this is something that I will do for her, and in the long run it will be for me too.

So far today I have not over eaten, which is good fo rme because for the last month it has been BAD! Over-eating daily and filling myself with no-no foods. I had Almond Roca and some Fritos today which are bad, it is hard to say no, but I didnt over eat on them. I had only about 10 Fritos if that, and instead of eating chili cheese nachos I had a Lean Cuisine.

I know how you feel. My situation is a bit different. My Mom wanted me to lose weight but during that time I gained rather than lost. She passed away just over a year ago and did not get to see the new me. I like to think that she is watching though and cheering me on.

It is strange how our loved ones can affect what we do, even when we cannot do it for ourselves.
Melissa, I think your grandmother is proud of you! I am excited for your dad to see you too.
sassyscraps31, I am so sorry for your loss. I agree that she looking after you, and smiling.

Thanks Bobbi!! I am awake earlier than usual and I have energy to spare! Tonight I have a spa party to go to, and it is going to feel great!!! I am excited to be exfo'ed and relaxed.
I actually woke up wanting to exercise, but then as I was putting on my workout clothes (which is a nuisance to begin with) I thought, Nah. I hate exercising, and I hate sweating!

My sister and I decided that after dinner we will start power walking for 30 minutes a day, unless it is raining. One of the only things that will keep me indoors!! I ate a granola bar for breakfast, and I had some milk. (for my heartburn)

We are going to do it every evening as long as it doesnt rain, and as long as we are not having game night, which is tonight. Okay, so usually on game night we have food that is bad, and of course tonight is the same. But, I had a grilled chicken salad with light ressing so that when pizza gets here I have eaten healthy and I will not be hungry. If any of you know me you will know I have never given up eating on game night, tonight is a first in 9 months! (AND IT FEELS GREAT)
I went to a spa party tonight and my whole body feel wonderful! I had an exfo and a chocolate raspberry scrub! I also had a mud wrap and a 60 minute massage with hot rocks. I cannot tell you how amazing I feel right now!!
Oh yeah, also I am on 80 ounce sof water!

I did it! I didnt have anything else to eat the rest of the night! And now that it is 2:30 in the a.m. I am so hungry, but I am not going to eat. I am going to attempt to sleep though. I ended up having just about 100 ounces of water today. I did have one alcholic drink tonight, in a champagne glass and that was it. I could have had more but I kept it at one. I know I am not going to want to wake up in the morning!  I am tired but I cannot seem to sleep without Kevin, and he is watching a movie with my sister and her husband. One thing that I do think is that couples (if they can) should go to bed together. It just seems to complete the day, so anyways it is hard for me to go to bed without him.

Olive Garden is an italian restaurant. I did good with food, I didnt over eat. I had grilled steak & chicken and grilled veggies .. mostly squash. I passe dup the potatoes that came with it. And I had water! I also passed up dessert I am about to rearrange my room, and then if I have energy after that then I am going to exercise. Okay I have a problem with exercising. I want to lose weight, but it seems like a person is working so hard when they do exercise and the results just are not that fast. Maybe it is just me. I want to enjoy it, I dont know why I dont!!
I am pretty angry because my sister and I were suppose to go for a walk, and she said she didnt want to, but then she cam eout of her room with her shoes on and said she wanted to walk alone. I think she just sees that I am trying to lose weight and she is wanting me to stay fat! So I am going to move my bed and stuff in my room and then if I can still move after that, then I am going to do some Tae-Bo, because she is not going to keep me down!!

She always has tobe better than me. It is who she always has been adn probably always will be! She is the person who comes to your houe and will critisize it but then think nothing of what her house looks like. She doesnt like who she is, so she has to put everyone down for it. If you ever understand let me know, because she has made me feel weak ever since she was old enough to sling negative energy!!

Well--you are not the weak one!!! Empower yourself to loose the weight to be happier for you and not because you want to do better than her. Happiness comes from within and with personal gains. You will win this battle Shasta!!! I believe in you!!

I know how you feel. My sister is not hateful but she is 4" taller than I and skinny. It seems like every time we go somewhere together, she always wears something that is tucked and a jacket that is only waist long while I am in a bulky top that covers my backend.
Wishfully, she does not do it on purpose. What can we do? We love them when we want to hate them. And to make matters worse, she eats like a pig. oink!

That sucks!  My sister is overweight too. I dont know how much she weighs, she guards her weight like a mama bear guards her cubs! I do know that she wears a size 20. I also wear a size 20, only she is 7" taller than me I would love to be taller!!!
Today we are going to go window shopping! It will feel good to put Ethan and Ivy in strollers and WALK! I am down another pound today, and just about to break 200. Something that looked forboding last week! I am happy that my grandma did talk to me because I probablw ouldnt have decided to lose this weight. I had been stuck in a bad rut full of eating and sitting. I was thinking about my weight yesterday and it came to me, I put on a lot of weight and I cut my hair when I was in my teenage years, and I think it was because I wanted men to leave me alone. They were alot older than me and since I was abused by a man all of my life as a child until the age of 12 I was very scared of them. Anyways, I have someone who loves me and protects me, and I am not afraid anymore. It is time for this weight to go!
I bought a pair of shorts yesterday, I plan on wearing them today. I havent worn shorts for awhile!

My husband and I go for a walk each morning (about 40 minutes) and take the dogs, and even in the rain with a lightweight jacket I feel really great at the end of it. (the dogs winge if we dont go) But I also go on my own if Ivan isn't able to go. (except Fridays when he goes to a mens breakfast and I stay in bed a bit longer!) I must be sad but really love it.

I love to walk, especially in the evenings when it cools off. I wore shorts anyways, it had stopped raining and the sun acme out! I had so much fun shoppin today! I got my son some summer clothes. Also I got some more stuff for my kitchen (I am redecortaing it to look like a vineyard)
For lunch we went to Subway. I had a turkey wrap with lettuce, olives, peppercinis & pickles. I also had an apple juice instead of a soda.

It is now past 11:00 and our movie just got over. I resisted the temptation of lasagna, garlic bread and candy! Yay for me

I went to bed so so late, but I slept in just a bit today, and feel great! I still havent gone for my evening walks, so maybe I should make it afternoon walks instead. I have put myself on a 3 day plan, just to see if it will work to have a guideline. I will let you all know how it goes.
