So it is way past midnight and I am up looking at pictures from Eastons blessing just a week ago. I am huge and disgusting!!! Here I have this gorgeous baby and I can't get past anything but my HUGE SELF!!! Selfish? Yes. Embarrassing? Yes!! Such a special day and the majority of it for me was spent worrying about my looks (and judging by the pictures I have plenty of reason to worry)! I know I

Well I did it! I joined Lady Fitness, it's a gym just for girls and it is not even a block away from my house. So no excuses right? They even have a day care!I went to my first class two nights ago and hope to go again today. I decided to do the basic step class since I use my step at home a lot. Well I am gonna go ahead and say that it was anything but basic. Lot's of fun but a full hour of it

Ha! So it's been a year and 2 whole days since I have last blogged. I am happy to say I now weigh 105 lbs and have never felt better! NOT! The real update is I have since had another bouncing baby boy who is now 4 months old, and yep you guessed it I am another 35 lbs heavier than I was when I last posted. Yay for me (please note the sarcasm)!Cleaning out storage and de-junking the other day I

Have you ever noticed that if a guy thinks a skinny girl is hot, pretty, beautiful etc. he simply says to her "Man your hot" or "You are really pretty" and so forth? Well, if you have ever struggled with the chub you probably know that if a guy tells you that you are pretty it usually goes like this... "You have a really pretty face". Why is that? I can tell you why, men have this ego problem you

By the way, we took first in our competition.:) That is a plus, even fat girls can be winners sometimes.......Yea!!!!!:)I will post later about the whole pretty face experience! A compliment that is only given to fat girls (I know some of you know exactly what I am talking about).

Wow! All I can say is Wow!!!!!!!!!!!We recently traveled to Las Vegas for a Belly dance competition, and again Wow!!! One of the girls just posted at least 90 (for reals 90) pictures of how fat I am!!!!!!! I seriously was in tears!!I felt insecure the whole time I was there but seeing the pictures, I obviously was not insecure enough!!!!! Holy cow, I can not express the emotions that ran through

It is funny how death makes you put things in perspective. My grandma passed away two days ago and it was kind of unexpected. It just reminds me that I should spend more time loving all of the great people I have in my life. I tend to get caught up in trivial things like weight and being frustrated because I can't keep a clean house or keep up with laundry. Losing someone close just tends to snap

Well...... I went camping this weekend and let's just say I did not come home the skinny bitch I anticipated!!!! I previously posted/bragged about my six pound weight loss, well let's just make that a weight gain!!!! Yep that is me, Queen Gain Weight! I managed in three days to gain back all of the weight I had lost. I did follow the diet pretty well....but I let myself partake of a few things

Well I am 6 days into the HCG diet and have lost four lbs. Keep in mind that the first to days you have to gorge yourself and take in as much fat as possible. I have not starved myself to death yet, but I do get hungry! I will even admit that at times I have even been mad at myself for attempting the dumb diet, fat food just calls my name! I have tried to stay strong and I have only cheated here

Normally I would not post twice in one day but..... I have a story that can not wait! Tonight we were watching the movie Dodge ball, I hope most of you have seen it. It was at the end of the show, ya know the part when Ben Stiller is a big ole fatty!!!!!!? Well if you have not seen it I will paint the picture for you... he is in a robe stuffing his face and he is at least a few hundred pounds...

Have you ever noticed the the word diet is really just the word Die with a T on the end? Why even add the T? Really the minute I start a diet it makes me want to die (I admit it, I LOVE to eat). I have this handy little dictionary sitting next to me and decided to look up the two words. Go figure, under diet it states.... to reduce the intake of food then under die it says...... to lose strength

So I am supposed to be starting that new HCG diet today. This time I am determined to stick with it!!! The diet requires that you consume only 500 calories a day along with the hcg injections or the oral drops. I have seen sooo many people do so well with this diet! Like I said I am bound and determined to stick to it. Who can't handle 30 days of dieting? The answer my friends is ME!The first

Today my day started off with getting lab work done (I am sure the problems I have been having are because of my weight). Honestly it did not go too bad considering I was lugging a hyperactive two year old with me. However, I did get out of my car in the parking lot and happened to notice an old lady pulling in. I was watching her drive and thinking man I hope I am that with it when I am her age!

I am a mother of two wonderful children, one 9 and the other 2 and a half. It seems to be a pattern as I look back at the pictures of their 2nd birthdays. I remember seeing myself in the pictures with my first child and actually realizing how big I was. It was all it took for me to jump on the exercise bandwagon. With my second child I knew I had even more work to do (I am even bigger this time)
