Hi Tete, I am back from 2006/7 I think but under the name Blitzed.
I went from 158 pounds to 140 back then, and then went from that slowly up to nearly 190.
I did read your Diary and it was lovely.....I think that I am about 10 year older than you, but don't believe that it gets harder with age (yet, touch wood) as I am meno/paus...and still managed to drop weight.
So you say you have about 22 weeks before your Son graduates HS.
Just really focus on that......I used Christmas as one of my goals as I did not want my son to be with an over weight mum this time. I am tall 5 foot 9 and a bit.
Remember that the food is always going to be there....we don't need to eat it all....and the best thing I did was before I over ate, was to think "how will I feel tomorrow?"
If you are going to feel like crap, then take 30 mins and rethink....after a BIG glass of water.
I wish you 22 weeks of weight loss fairy dust.

Heya 
I just wanted to thank you for commenting on some of the diaries, it resulted in quite a few email notices this morning which made me get my fat butt back on here. It was kinda like a sign.
Lets get this done

I will be 40 in less than 27 days!! how did that happen! haha. I had a hysterectomy in 2010 and I haven't noticed it hindered my weight loss that was all me! Thanks so much for the fairy dust!! I gotta be a hot momma on graduation and when we take him to college in August!!
I was almost ready to over eat today!! It's just so easy...but I slowed down ...had a little talk to myself and it passed!
I don't know how to control it all the time. I found out today my coworker is going to be out on sick leave for weeks...and I am the only one who can cover for her...plus we are dealing with this crazy cold weather here in Pennsylvania....the combination of the two and I was headed for the vending machine more that once today...but I did stop myself and just took a little walk instead.....my overeating and cravings for junk are the biggest hurdle for me! I think the more we verbalize it the more we could get a handle on it!

This exactly this!!!! I cannot tell you how many extended work absences I have covered over the last year and my own job is very demanding. I get so angry and stressed...boom reach for the junk. I have gained 10 pounds since my new boss came on board, she is a total nutter, who is always creating more work because she doesn't know what she is doing and then says "Oh I'm sorry!" She has a treadmill desk in her office. No wonder, she probably drives herself to eat too!
Thank you for posting this! And know you are so not alone regarding work stress affecting you like that!

She is going to off for 2 to 4 weeks and she is chit chattin and visiting co workers ...talking on the phone... every thing but working!! We have 5 working days to get all we can done!! And she is just on cloud nine that she is going to be off of work!!!

I had to laugh at your last line "she probably drives herself to eat too!" I may have to use that!! lol I am going to start to use this diary to be brutally honest and vent when I need it. I hope it does annoy anyone...but I think I keep it in and then I eat. SO MY PLAN IS TO GET IT OUT AND GET OVER IT!

Vent away! I'll probably be doing that myself at some point today. I can feel it coming on..haha! Hope your day gets better!
Thanks so much! I so needed to hear this. I have a hard time being brutally honest with myself....I like things to be a certain way so I think It contributes to my stress and then the pounds...so there might me a little more "venting" and letting go!
Vent all you want. I don't mind reading!

Thanks for the support all!!
So I am happy to report I am back under 200...I weighted in at 199.6 yesterday. I was only about 200 for a couple weeks....but it was enough to make me cry. I swore I would never see those numbers again...so even tho i did way over 200 for a few weeks....I am proud of myself that it was only 2 week ...NOT 2 years...or worse!
Hope everyone had a good week!!

Awee thanks!!! Everything is going well food wise. Exercise is slow going....I wish the weather would break...I'm so in need of spring already!! This winter has been long enough already!
So the laid off three employees Monday at my company!! Talk about wanting to stress eat!! But I held it together and managed well...really making an effort with taking my vitamin d and increasing my water intake! Those two things seem to play such a huge role in my hunger through out the day!
Hope all is well for everyone!
