Hello, it has been a looong time, things are going slow because my knee is still being rehabed, yet my weight loss is still occuring
THANK YOU JESUS, thank you GOD. I watch what I eat and drink water and sneak in a little extra walking everyday. I know that I have to be careful if I want my knee to heal correctly. TAKE CARE OF YOUR JOINTS! to everyone out there stay storing, stay focused and GOD BLESS, all of you...I appreciate all of the knowledge and esprecially the honesty that I have experienced.

I have figured out my triggers after I gained 2 pounds
. I am really a food addict, I have been struggling for the past month. This guy that I am seeing, helping wants me to go with him to Montego bay there I would have to wear a swim suit and I have been eating like 90 going north, the thought of wearing a swimsuit is making me crazy
, not to mention I saw one of his other "friends" and my skinny god sister this weekend and I didn't say I was giving up, yet my actions of over eating are saying I am giving up...I had cereal today, rice, meat, and veggies, and a bag of cheetos, a soda, one mini reese cup and an entire milkway, not to mention the cake and Ice Cream I ate yesterday. Damn, this is crazy and i really feel like I need an intervention
, I am eating because I don't want to go to Jamaica, I don't want to be around him and his friends, my best friend has been tripping because i am seeing him and I would love for her and her dude to go with me, yet she is hating for no good reason and I don't want to wear a swimsuit
. You know when he is not around I see my body differently, I don't feel uncomfortable, yet when he is near me I want to shrink away, he has never said anything, it is me, I just want to be healthy, tonite i am getting back on my tread mill, I cant wait for my knee to heal, I know once I lose the weight then the stress on my knee with ease and it won't hurt has much because I won't be as heavy, On a lighter note: 
PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Changed my Goal
Jan 08, 2009
I have decided to change my goal weight...
I am nervous because I don't want to be tooo thin yet I want to be healthy. Therefore I have decided to change my target goal from 150 to 170...
I am doing this because I want to be able to maintain my weight and not lose my mind trying to maintain my weight....My goal is to have lost the weight by July by loosing 8 pounds per month for 7 months...I have decided that I need to focus of several projects that I started in 2008, most of the projects are positive carry forwards and the others I have decided to scrap and move forward...
Happy New Year 
to everyone, May God Bless all in 2009 and always!

Triggers
Jan 06, 2009
Ok, so it has been a while but I had a episode and I slipped very easily back into my bad habits, which is why I understand why alcoholics and drug addits must leave their familiar surrondings inorder to have a successful recovery. I was upset about a situation and instead of confronting the issue I ate a bowl of peach cobbler
. I then had to sit up for hours with heartburn and indegestion because I don't eat late and having a bowl of peach cobbler at 9 or 10 pm was definitely not a smart move at all. I had been very good about not having anything except for healthy snacks in the house, but the holidays have proven difficult for me to maintain the low fat healthy standard. I am not beating myself up about the splurge, I am Happy that I am aware of my triggers and that I know that this is a life long battle and I can gain back the weight I have lost if I am not aware of my responses to certain situations

I Fell off the Wagon
Nov 20, 2008
I went to the doctor and found out I have arthritis in both of my knees! That means I am unable to use my beloved treadmill! I must now invest in an eliptical machine because going to the gym is to difficult for me at this time. Pray for me. I have gained 3 pounds and it was so hard for me to come to OH and post my weight knowing that I had gained instead weight instead of lost. 
I cried....
Nov 04, 2008
I cried because I injured my knee and I can't work out. I use exercise as a stress reliever and sedative and not have my drug of choice has made me depressed. I cry alot now and it is hard to sleep because I can not work out. Pray for me, Please.
I have fallen, but I will get Up!
Oct 20, 2008
Help, Help, Help and PRAY FOR ME! 
I fell at work and I can not exercise for 6 weeks! I am disappointed in myself and sad. 
I only lost one pound this month because I was sick earlier and I hadn't been working out as much and now I can not to my normal walking because my knee and my hip are bruise, twisted, busted and disgusted, so is my heart. 
I need help to keep the 25 or 26 pounds I have lost forever gone forever now that I can not exercise. The doctor told me to do core and stretch, 
I am going to ask if I can do water aerobics. Jesus, thank you for your strength and keeping me healthy, I claim the glory in your name!

Stagnation or Recurring Issues
Oct 08, 2008
I have learned that when things keep popping up it means that I have to learn something. Change is very hard, even though I say I want it and I have learned that changing the way I eat, excercing everyday, and dealing with emotional issues is hard even though I want to do it. I have also learned that people are in your life for a season and when that season ends or that lesson is learned, it is time for that person to leave. 
On a lighter note: I have resorted to cleaning my house at random hours of the night so that I won't eat!
I had all of this energy and I couldn't sleep so I cleaned my house, I washed walls, did windows, did laundry, rearranged the kitchen, it was crazy, and I didn't eat a thing.

I was sick....but I maintained
Sep 19, 2008
I lost 4 pounds. I have been really sick and I wasn't able to exercise like I normally do. Yet, I still watched what I ate and even ate a little less, to ensure that I wouldn't gain weight.I have really learned about portion control and not stopping for quick snacks at the fast food crack establishments
I once frequented. Well, I have alot more work to do, but now it is fun and I look forward to it
