Well, it's 8 years later, and I've been as high as 320 and as low as 195. Iovering around 285 right now. I need to get my shit together.

(added 12/19/10)Why did I post this pic 8 years ago? Did I actually like this hideous purse?

*Sigh*....I think tomorrow I'm going to find, and call, my local chapter of overeaters anonymous. The past couple days I've done so well with eating healthy, low fat foods during the day, but it's almost like I turn into a different person at night.v The craving I get for something sweet.....or fatty....is so powerful it reminds me of when I was a smoker and I hadn't had a cigarette in a long time. So I know it's an addiction, but I give in, go to bed, and have dreams about what a loser I am. :-(

I was good all day, then ate an ice cream cone. Arrgh! Why do I do this to myself? :-(

Darn it...I knew I should have gotten that mini-stepper what I saw it the first time! Now there are no more left. :-( I saved some money though - instead of a stepper, I bought a *step*, and still got some exercise, going up and down the step. Monotonous, but a lot cheaper at only 20 bucks, and not so bad with some music. I did 20 minutes....wonder if I should call that climbing stairs, 10 minutes forward and 10 minutes backward, on the wonderful software I got at http://www.dietpower.com ?

Just making a little post to see if my template change takes effect. Now I'm really going to the store, LOL!

*Sigh*....ok, figured out how to post my "before" pic. My face is blurred - my 7yo took the pic. I think I need to take this pic and tape it on my refrigerator door. It's too easy to ignore the weight gain when the bathroom mirror only shows from the shoulders up.

Well, off to Meijer's to buy a mini-stepper machine. And I'm going to make sure I *use* it when I get home!

Ok, this is where I start this thing, I guess. Today I am 35 years old, 5'7", and I weigh 259 pounds. :-( This blog, along with the wonderful support at Rene's Weight Loss Forum (http://www.babynet.com/boards/list.htm?collapse=0&num=2&), is to help me with accountability. As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures on here I'll be back with my "before" pic.
