I think it would still be rather glorious!
Good for you, reading and walking and such! I hope you have many more walks with your "honey teddy bear" in the future.
Good luck with the wedding. I know it'll be great! Be sure to post a picture of you and Derek in wedding attire, I'd love to see you two!
Annie
Hello Annie,
Hopefully I will be 240 pounds by the time the wedding comes. I want to lose thirty pounds as I said.
What kind of books do you like? What genre? I am reading so many books and taking out so many books, I almost can't keep up lol
anyway ... it will be a glorious day! I can't wait for the enchanting day. lol

Hello all!! Thought I would try a new color. Well it will be raining all day, its one of those days you just curl up and just rock it on the computer. My fiance is playing tetris. We are going to play scrabble and maybe upwords. He beats me to a pulp, but I have a dictionary in tow and maybe I will win eventually, or get closer. He doesnt keep score, but I think its time we keep score, because I want to beat his behind lmao
He does have a nice behind. He was putting the new curtains up. And he is short and had to step on the window edge and his butt was looking good and the legs were nice ... now look at me drooling through the puter lol
anyway fun times. I am going walking tomorrow while he is at work. Supposed to be 76 degrees...and partly cloudy. The sun will be bright in the sky and I will be speed walking the whole way. Yea!!
Thirty pounds hopefully down next September. I know I can do this. I am going to rock this!!

Hey natalie! I enjoy fantasy books, mostly, and I've read a couple of those "reality" type books, (Crank, Glass, and Skinny) and they're all terribly depressing. I actually wouldn't recommend any of those books, they suck you in and leave you, in most cases, feeling like you're the one in that crappy situation.
But right now I'm kind of stopped in the beginning of the second 4 books in the the story. Do you read Tamora Pierce? I highly recommend her "the circle of magic" and "the circle opens" books if you like fantasy. I haven't read much of her other stuff, but I've heard it's all pretty amazing.
Love and good luck, hun.

You go girl! Walking sometimes isn't as much fun without a partner, but walking alone does give time for reflection- sometimes it is nice to have a bit of quiet time for yourself. Imagine when the kids roll in, you won't have any time at all!
Anyhoo, keep us posted and don't disappear NJ!

Hey Annie!
I have heard of that series and my sister has read it for the most part. I definitely want to read it! The "Circle of Magic" series is on my list. I pass it in the section I go to for my other fantasy books at the library. The library is one of my favorite places to be. I wish I could continue my education and become a librarian. That was the dream until a few months ago. The disorders took control and it seems my life is better with out school, regardless of the fact Derek beats me at scrabble. I was hurting today... he used my Q three times lol and I had an X and didn't know what to use with it lol

Whoa Misty! lmao
no kids! We are not having children lmao ... we are going to have babies of the four legged kind lol I have a guinea pig and a cat named Chewie.
I plan on getting a kitten, little spry female when I move into my new place with Derek. I am so looking forward to my wedding day! But let me say there are so many choices to make and the money ..its crazy!! I am getting a tiarra at Ben Franklins next month for my head. Because right now Derek is my prince ..medieval theme and I am his princess and soon we will be King and Queen lol
its cute!!
but I saw these beautiful Tiaras in the glass case ..they are so beautiful...
I hope to be thirty pounds lighter... lol
I will be ..winter walking is the best!!

So today, everyone!, I ate horribly, but it is only 2:05 pm and I can still change the day. Time to wait for dinner. but Derek is bringing home a pint of ice cream for smoothies. We are mixxing the fruit from the farm with the milk and vanilla ice cream. Usually I just mix 2% milk and peaches with crushed ice..for a nightly snack ... it keeps the hunger away at night
but I guess last night I shot up in bed and turned to him and said "I am hungry!" fell back down onto my pillow and started snoring again! ((Roflmao))
too funny!!!!!!!!!!!
but I didn't eat last night!!
Doing good so far and I have not been using the mouth gaurd, because I have chewwed it up so much it doesnt fit right and hurts, but we have another one. But so far so good with out it... it drys my throat and lips out at night ..because I have my mouth partially open...but lately I ground that sucker right up, so no more mouth gaurd for now ..so far so good!!
and I have plums as well from the farm...they are soft juicy ripe little ones ..so yummy... I have been eating them...
but I have to kill the urge to eat out of boredom, which is what I have been doing today ...
I weighed in at 268.2 this morning .. I want to stay out of the 270s ... but I keep bumping up ..its horrid!!
Well heres to a good weigh in tomorrow!! Here, Here!

I hope you had a great weigh in today! I'm so proud of you! You're doing great! We all have bad days (I'm living proof!) but we always get back on track and rise above all that crap.
Keep on going, girl! You can do this!

Hiya Natalie!
CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement I am so happy for you! As one in the midst of wedding planning, the wedding can be as big or small as you want it and definitely can REALLY start to add up in terms of price. Dear Lord. But your theme sounds so fun! I love it!
Just words for you as far as your mom and sister goes because I was playing catch up and reading about how it was stressing you out. . . .Family relationships can really be extremely stressful, but it's a good thing to practice active reminding of yourself that you are only responsible for YOUR relationship with your family members. You are not responsible for tension that arises between them, nor is it something that you are responsible for spending energy on by stressing over it. Practice active removal from those situations. I know in my family that was something I REALLY had to learn because my family members have a way of dragging me into their problems with each other. Just gently but firmly remove yourself from their anger with each other. They need to resolve it on their own and the only thing you need to worry about is your relationship with them.
Just a thought.
Anyway glad to hear you getting out and about! The heat is finally breaking and fall is arriving! Although you wouldn't know it with today's weather - we're having a high of 91 and INSANE humidity! Hope it's cooler up your way.

Thank you everyone for your positive reinforcement.
Lately I have been eating at night and it sucks. I am back up to 272 to 274 pounds. I so need to kick this into gear. I went bike riding yesterday and last night. We went for a nice bike ride around the commons and to Care Pharmacy so I could pick up my meds. I picked up a wedding album. I am going to take pics of us making the dress, capes, ect...
I am going to start practicing with the sewwing machine in the next few days. I think I will let Derek do most of the work, because he does it so well, he does crafts very well. He is putting together a pendent formation for me... two blue hearts with silver on them and a butterfly, multi colored...
He also bought me a few things from the Rochester fair...he spent forty bucks total ...on us ...
I did eat baddly, but the fair is only once a year... we all shared the fried dough, and I had the smallest piece.... so that was good .. I am trying to think on my toes... u know ...
but ... ok well thats it I think ..
I am down about my weight .. I wasnt going to come on, because I didnt want to tell you about my weigh ins lol .. I am so disappointted in myself ..u know ... but I guess I just have to get back up on that wagon and hope for the best, be at peace in the knowledge I CAN do this, as hard as it may be. I have one hundred pounds to lose and its seems like I am self defeating .. u know ...

I just made this list for myself... I've been binging at night too... so this is my plan of action, each time I feel the urge I will pick something from this list to do.
- get in bed and read
- watch a movie or series on tv
- have a hot shower
- brush my teeth
- have tea/decaf coffee
- go stand and look at my vision board in the study to remind me where I'm going.
- belly dancing moves
- stretch
- skip/exercise in general
- draw
- write in my journal
- work on some stuff from work at home
- clean house
Your wedding planning sounds so fun!

Hey you,
I hear ya. It's normal to be all blah cuz you're a few lbs up BUT you still have time to your wedding. You STILL have 30 lbs to lose. You STILL have the TIME and the COMMITMENT- so you can STILL get on board and win this battle of sorts.
Also, I completely agree with Akebuzz. In fact, I was just thinking to myself today, one of the best things you can do is keep yourself busy and that would keep you away from the food and the cravings.
Maybe you can think of some things that will keep you away from midnight eating? Can you call Derek at that time or would it be too late?
Don't lose faith NatJo, and I'm proud of you for coming on here and telling us rather than letting it eat you up inside. Everyone experiences ups and downs, we all just need to remember to get back on track!
