Darcie's diary to happiness

i would say it's like riding a bicycle -but i remember a few entries back :)

just be yourself - smile and above all - have fun:) oh yeah and don't order broccoli, it gives me gas and has this annoying way of getting stuck in my teeth :)
 
Notice my ticker???? I think looking HOT for a first date is the greatest motivation I could have ever found!!:jump: I was at 209 last friday icky wiegh in day for me!! Today I am feeling great looking forward to a wonderful weekend with a hansome man and I feel like I am floating on cloud 9!! I actually managed to do my exercise everyday this week without to much muttering under my breath about how much I hate it!! Now I know that come next week I might have gained some of this back but I am thinking positive about it and hope next fridays weigh in haas me at least a pound down!!!

Have a great weekend everybody!!!!:)
 
Happy Monday morning!!! Well where should I start........lets start with the date. It was WONDEFUL!!!:) He is so sweet and my having 5 little kids didn't put him off at all! He told me I was beautiful and was glad that I was not "model thin" because he doesn't like women like that!! Now since no matter how much weight I lose I willnever be model thin this is a good thing!! Our one date turned into a whole weekend together!!! Anyways I stood onthe scale this morning and I am down to 203!!!! I am loving life!! Weight loss, new guy, and lovely weather what more could I ask for!!
 
Ok so date guy turned put to be a real jerk you know say we will go do things he never had any intention of doing say things to sweep me off my feet but in the end all he wanted was a piece of a$$. I am SOOO not down with that. So I told him to hit the road that I was sure he would find some woman who was like that but I had more self respect!!:boxing:

Now under normal circumstances having a guy do this to me would put me in a depressed mood and then I would eat and gain all that weight that I worked so hard to lose to look good for him that I don't want to gain back!:eek:

Instead I just went and bought some shoes!!!! I feel much happier now!:rotflmao:

I didn't gain any of the weight back either instead I dropped another pound!!:jump:
 
Thanks Mal!! I am not going to let this get me down at all. There are way too many fish in the sea for a smooth icky eel to get in my way!! I love fish!!!:D
 
Happy Friday morning to all! So I stood on the scales this morning and I am at 204 I am ok with this I was hoping to hit 199 by the end of this month but I am not sure I a going to make it and I refuse to push myself too hard because the weight would just come back and bring a friend or two and I have worked to dang hard to get this far to let that happen.

I have family coming in this weekend so this next week is going to be really tough on me. I have my sons birthday party tomorrow and that one I think I can do ok with if I just start telling myself first thing in the morning that cake is the enemy!! I love cake it is really hard to say no to it! Then I have at least 3 scheduled family get togethers that involve lots of food since that is the only thing my family seems to do together!! But I am thinking that maybe if I eat before I have to go to these then I will do ok because then I won't want to eat while I am there and since they are at houses instead of restaurants I wont feel guilty for not eating anything. I am going to go into this next week with a positive additude so I am hoping it works for me!!

Now here is where I might mess up.....the ball game season starts tonight and I live right next to the ball park. Now I don't like to go watch the games I like to sit on my front steps and people watch the people going into the park. Then my friends and I will sit there and drink beer and watch all the drunk people leaving the park. The best entertainment around I tell you!!! The beer is going to be my downfall. 90 degree weather and a cold beer go hand in hand !! I will just have to limit my intake I guess. :rolleyes:
 
Well where to begin with my week......hmmm I definetely had a monday yesterday. Fought with a co-worker and then went to visit the dentist who I refer to as the torturer since that is what he likes to do to me! Then I went home to find I couldn't park in my driveway because some idiot going to the baseball game had blocked off my driveway so I had to get that taken care off so by bed time I was past cranky:mad: Now I have the patience of a saint so being in this kind of mood really takes alot out of me. And I took it out on the cookie jar:mad: So now I am mad at myself for eating those cookies who had done nothing wrong. They didn't deserve to be dunked in that cold glass of milk until they fell apart. Nor devoured like I was never going to get another meal. poor cookies:rolleyes: Anyways.....I have no motivation to exercise this week since I have family visiting and I would much rather sit on my butt in a lawn chair and talk than get up and do pilates or something of that nature. I don't think talking for hours on end really burns up the calories though! I guess I had just push myself to work it at least 30 minutes a day or I will have zero motivation after they leave at the end of the week. I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! I am like the little train that could!!

Oh and guess what that guy I went on that date with that was a real jerk is sooo trying to back peddle now and get into my good graces. He would have to work really really hard to prove to me he is worth a second chance before I would even consider going out on a date with him again.:rolleyes:
 
Well I was a good girl last night and I didn't take out any anger or frustrations on the poor cookies in the cookie jar!!:) They were calling my name though. I heard them while I was doing the dishes and I told them if they didn't be quiet I would dump them in the garbage!:D However I did say I had family in town and they came over last night and brought burgers and fries from this place we have here that makes really good greasy fries and I couldn't resist those. I did limit myself to only ten of the lovely things!:rolleyes: Then I made the kids eat the rest before I couldn't control myself any longer! After they left and after I threatened the cookies I made myself do my pilates dvd twice! I am proud of myself for doing that!! I also told the kids they could have cookies for breakfast this morning because I don't know how much longer I can hold out against them!!:rolleyes:

Now back to that guy. He is being really sweet and nice and trying really hard but I still think he has to try harder!! He likes to cook maybe I can get him to come over and show me how to use my grill so that my kids will show a little more enthusiasm towards my grilling!:cool:
 
Haha, I finally found your journal! I need to get on keeping up with at least a few people. Here is as good a place to start as any :)

Good on you for making a guy stretch to get you. You should definitely get him over to put your grill together for you. Even if things still don't work out, at least you got a grill out of it ;)

Also, extra good job for doing the pilates twice! I know when I have a dvd workout day, by the end I couldn't stand to do it over again!
 
Oh after doing that dang dvd twice I was ready to dry but it was worth it in the end. I will not be doing it again soon though!
 
Now back to that guy. He is being really sweet and nice and trying really hard but I still think he has to try harder!! He likes to cook maybe I can get him to come over and show me how to use my grill so that my kids will show a little more enthusiasm towards my grilling

I could put him in nothing but an apron and make him grill me dinner. He does have a nice body and the view would be great!!:D

I believe in giving second chances because everybody can make stupid mistakes BUT I am more on guard the second time around. I just don't have a mean bone in my body and I like to think the best of everybody. It is just my nature!:)
 
It's a good nature to have. I like the phrase "forgive, but don't forget", because even if you give people second chances you have to still be aware of their nature and past actions speak loudly. People can change (after all, isn't that the whole point of this forum??), but its hard and doesn't always happen even if the intent is there.

You're a smart gal, you know how to do best for yourself :)
 
Forgive but don't forget is definetely a way to live! I would like to think that giving this guy a second chance is worth it because we really seemed to click when we first met. But if it doesn't work that is ok I will keep looking!!:)
 
Hello all!! I hope everyone is having a good week so far because to tell you the truth mine has sucked!! Lets start on monday...bad morning at work fighting with co-workers followed by bad dentist appointment followed by torturing those poor cookies in the cookie jar followed by a night of no real sleep. Tuesday......Got up and started a load of laundry only to find my new dryer not working followed by a day of arguing with my oldest child followed by a birthday party for my middle kid followed by yet another night of no real sleep. Wednesday..... day began good no problems at work but my mouth still hurts from the dentist followed by more fighting with the oldest kid. He is not going to make it to his next birthday if he keeps this up!!:rolleyes: followed by crazy drunk people stopping by my house after the baseball game which really wasn't that bad except they didn't want to go home followed by yet another night of no real sleep. As you can imagine this no sleep thing is getting a bit old and I am tired and all I want to do is eat a really big greasy cheesy pizza and go to bed but instead I am going to go have family dinner tonight where I am required to play nice with the relatives. No fun in that at all!!:) I am hoping to follow that with a night of sleep. Real good Sleep!!!

Oh and the guy he is sooo going to be my grill slave soon!! And probably any other kind of slave I want him to be!!!:eek: He so wants me!!! I am going to make him beg for me to take him back!!!
