I'm here! I'm here! I think we're both very lucky to have each other to go through this journey. Thank you for letting me contribute here. I hit a magic number on the scale today and have decided that it's just enough. I joined WW today and am going to take control of my life. I am an emotional eater and also eat to punish myself. My body is my mask - my way of keeping my head down and positive attention off of me. There is so much more to me than these fat rolls and I think I'm ready to show it!

I know that we can do this together. I'll post an official before picture soon.

I am incredibly blessed in the friend department. One of those close friends is headed down the weight watchers life change with me and has decided to blog with me. So we are going to share this handy dandy blog and we are going to get fabulous together- one pound at a time! So from now on if you see a post signed by SimplyAtomic- That is me! She will be signing her posts Zoes_Mum!

I am so excited to be taking this journey with her!

Seven pounds lost! Woot! I didnt have much faith this week that I would be down any pounds since I struggled with my points and then we had guests for the last half who wanted to eat out almost every meal. But I did it! And I know with some tweeking (like actually exersizing) things can only get better from here!

I'm sure to some 7 pounds is nothing and when looking at the big picture 7 pounds is just a pin drop in the basket of hugeness. BUT it is my 7 pounds and in my scheme of losing weight 5% at a time it looks pretty damn awesome to me.

Breakfast for dinner tonight. I have more points than usual today to use up so why not splurge on bacon. Normally, we do turkey bacon but we had this in the freezer from pre-ww so I figure we need to use it now.

I'm doing ok so far, no huge cravings but then again those usually come around right before my period. I think that will be my hardest test.

This week we are having company. It will be a true challenge to eat right while they are here. They do not have the same dietary challenges that we have (they can eat what they want) but I believe I have the willpower and the resolve to hold tight and make it over my first hurdle.

Tonight, I have planned a lovely shrimp meal for dinner, the only problem is that the husband does not like shrimp unless it is fried. My thinking is HELLO fried is why we are fat. Why not try something new? He refuses so I will be eating my shrimp all alone and he will be fending for himself. ha!

I'm having a hard time using my oils. I just don't use them to cook, I never have. Somehow I need to change that.

Lunch is already figured in my head,and I think today will be one of those weird points days where I struggle to meet my goal. I know I can do this. I feel better already and I knew I would. Feeling better is worth it right?

I met my goal with water yesterday buy using a bottle that I knew was = to 4 of my servings. I carried it with me all day and made sure I drank out of it often. Not drinking so much soda has me less jittery too. This is a bonus.

So, I've been thinking of my first reward when I hit my first 5% and what I would like to get. I've never been someone who could shop for me, I put everyone first. So I sat here wondering what I would buy myself if I was rewarding myself and the only thing I could think of was these new panties I love. Seriously. New panties are not a reward they are a right. haha. Then I decided but new expensive panties were not a right they were a luxury so new expensive panties will be my reward. Silly to some, not to me. And probably not to the husband who would love to see me in said panties.

This is my official before picture. I cut off most my head because well, I'm embarrassed that I have gotten this big and I am not ready to show me with the world. My blog my rules right? I also cut my friend out of the picture as she is fabulous looking and well into her weight loss.


Today I started with a bang. I had my hard boiled eggs, an orange and toast for breakfast. I get such a huge amount of points for the day that I've always had a hard time meeting my points. I read somewhere that adding the regular fat things will help with that at first and to transition myself to the low fat ones as my points go down so I have done that. Gah, that bread looks covered in butter but its not. I measured it and everything.

Next on my to do list is clean,laundry and work out. I WILL succeed.

I woke up the other day and thought, I have been eating every feeling I am going through right now and it is killing me. We've had some very big ups and downs in the past three months and I've ate away every emotion I have felt.

Last night the husband and I decided no more. And I meant it.

Today I accounted for every shitty thing I put in my mouth and it pissed me off that I wasted all those points on Snickers bites. I could have had something yummy that wasnt going to kill me. I suck. Tonight I had a healthy dinner and already have my healthy breakfast planned for tomorrow. I even worked out today and I sweat! Me! Who knew? Tomorrow I am going to measure my whole body and put my numbers in here for the world to see. I need to be accountable to myself.

My only upshot of my whole day was that I have only gained 4 pounds since I started this blog.

We are the fat ladies who are tired of being stared at, who are tired of shopping in the fat lady only stores, who are tired of not being the sexy bitches we know we are. This is our journey with weight loss. It is not always nice and pretty.. so if you are offended by smart,witty,funny, women who talk like a sailors. Keep movin to the next blog.
