Thank you Lisa, Denise and Tracy. You ladies are the best, what would I ever do without you?
I have been walking, not as much as I need to but I got in three walks last week and this week I have thus gotten in one. And I walked for an hour yesterday which felt great, although I am a bit sore today. But still fully intending to walk later, sore or not!
I finally got up the courage to weigh today. I cleared out my old Wii profile because I just want to start over. Still I know what I weighed in June before we left for WDW, and just as I feared, I gained back all but three pounds of my 16 pound loss. Omg, that bites. Oh well, time to start over.
I had coffee with a friend who for the second time encouraged me to get a job at a plus sized store. She starts off with "I don't want to offend you and have you take this the wrong way" and then proceeds to tell me I will feel so much more comfortable selling clothes to other overweight women vs. books at Barnes and Noble (told her I wanted to work at B & N). She said she just feels I will feel less out of place and self conscious if I work someplace where the customers look like me. Um thanks I guess.
Then fast forward to last night when I had to go to Dd's freshman orientation. I ran into a few people I hadn't seen in awhile and it was just embarrassing to have them see me so much heavier than I was a few years ago. One of them was our friend "C" who was one of my biggest cheerleaders a few years ago when I lost my 33 pounds.
Leslie Sansone says not to over dwell on the mental issues in this six week program and maybe that's good, and yet all night I found myself wondering why I do this to myself? I keep losing around 15 pounds then gainin it back. I almost think I had it my mind the minute I left for vacation I'd start the process of gaining it back. So frustrating and just a total mystery how my own mind works and why I let myself do this!
So yet another fresh start. I still say I can do it.
