Rebellious eating…

This is what I ate yesterday

I have it.

I’m wondering if this is a “normal” phase of the weight loss journey. Do you get close to goal weight and then begin to eat such random things (or back to eating in old behavior mode) that you’re not sure who is controlling […]

Fear of Making Goal Weight…

Whoa, Tara!!!

Fear of making goal?!?

Don’t you mean Fear of NOT making goal weight?!?

Okay, seriously who’s is afraid of making goal? I mean when we start this LCJ and we look down at the scale for the first time in God only knows how long and see a number […]

How much do you weigh emotionally?

We don’t often think about that question.

We’re so bogged down by the physical number that we base our successes / failures on whether or not the scale is moving and forget about the weight that weighs the heaviest on us: The emotional pounds. Now I’m not a therapist nor do I play […]

Confessions…

I miss my fat self.

How crazy of a statement is that? But I realized this morning as I was trying to pull myself out of bed at the crack ass time of 3:30a so that I could eat before going to the gym at the other crack ass time of 5:00a so […]

30 days…

Yesterday I weighed myself 4 times.

I’ve been able to go one week and not step on the scale. When that week was over I went back to getting on that damn little square box 5 – 6 times a day. Next I went two weeks without getting on the scale. When that […]

Proud moment: I’m pretty sure that picture up there sums up my proud moment!

Need to work on the […]

Wow, where does one even begin to tell the events of this past weekend?

Should I begin with the Friday before the event where I thought it would be a good idea to practice taking the tires off of the rims of Peppermint Patty only to discover I A) don’t have the slightest […]

What’s in a number?

Numbers are very important to me.

On this LCJ they’ve become the way I measure my success and my failures. They’ve become my constant reminder that I am trying to make some changes in my life that will hopefully get rid of the fat that I’ve carried around for most of my life […]

OWiS #37, a new label, a new category,

Dear Body,

When you and I committed to this journey back in December it was the absolute most important decision we’ve ever made together. Absolute most important. Remember how we used to laugh and joke about “oh it’s going to take forever to lose weight” and we would swear under our breath as […]
