Yakara's Journal

Okay, I am feeling fat and nasty again. I am at 272 and want to lose all this extra weight. This is going to be hard due to the holiday season, but I can't handle weighing so much anymore. Nothing fits and I have no energy. The only way I lose weight is with Low Carbing, so that is what I am going to do.

Life is stressful and sometimes overwhelming. Maybe a journal will help...I hope. Well, I am going to figure out what I am doing for the rest of my life and I will be back tomorrow.

Well, last night I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical. That is the longest time I have spent on the machine in years. I threw in Clerks 2 and got moving.

As far as eating goes yesterday, I was horrible. My friend came over yesterday morning and needed to vent, then decided she wanted to watch a movie. Well, lots of junk later here I am. She tends to make me think less about what I am eating. She is a huge eater and for some reason likes to bring me the Timmy Ho Ho hot chocolate in the morning. It stinks because I am still not at the point where I can easily resist that.

I have to get on the wagon and stay on. I took the first step last night with that workout. It made me feel good, like I accomplished something. Now to keep it up.

Hi! I know just how you feel. Take a look at my stats..we just have to keep trying! I am also having a hard time resisting my old goodies...Last night was my son's Christmas Show and there were a TON of cookies, fudge, brownies, etc. I really wanted to eat them BAD...but I didn't. I am almost sure that if DH would have, then I would have too....I can't figure out why I am thinking like that...maybe it is the feeling of not wanting to be left out....Hmm...I think I am having a lightbulb moment...

When I was young my Sister and I constantly fought for my Mother's attention (father died when I was 2 and Mom was depressed most of the time). I bet I turned to food a lot for "comfort" to feel like I wasn't being left out....Hmm...sure would be nice to have a Psychologist right now...

Anyway sorry for all of that blabbing....You did the right thing with working out...I have yet to start that part.

Good Luck!
