Sarah
 
I sure miss you.

Once again, I'm a little worried!

I hope you are doing well. :hug2:

Check in when ya can!

~*I hope you have a Happy Christmas!*~

 
I hope that you had a brilliant 21st birthday and that you thoroughly enjoy your Christmas celebrations. I imagine that with all that celebrating you may have put your weight loss project to one side for a little while. I also imagine that you will be pretty busy at work since restaurants are always busy at this time of year - so that will be lots of good exercise you will be getting.

Looking forward to hearing how things are going for you. Dont feel embarrassed if you have put on a little weight. I have put on weight in the past week - and in all honesty very few people seem to be losing weight at the minute.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hello Everyone!

Hi Everyone,

So sorry to be gone for such a long time, I had by far one of the most worst holidays ever. 3 days after my 21st birthday party that I had been planning, I received a phone call that my mom had been taken to the hospital- she had gone into cardiac arrest, and went into coma... she passed away 3 days later- 5 days before my actual birthday, 7 days before christmas, and 2 months before her 50th birthday. so instead of shopping for presents, i spent the holidays making funeral arrangements... sorry to be such a downer on my first post back, but thanks for the messages i've just read from all of you- hope you had wonderful holidays.

Well, I moved in with my aunt and her family with a month, and we decided to get ourselves on track- when something like death comes by your family, it certainly gives you a much needed wakeup call. i've lost more weight now, and i've started a new plan with my aunt- 3 proteins a day, no more than 30g of fat a day and between 40-80g of carbs a day. and i try to drink as much water as possible... i'm looking forward to reading everyone's journals and checking out your tickers!! :grouphug:

i missed you all so much!!

That's rough! I hope you are doing much better now. Sometimes good things can come out of the worst situations. The death of someone we love can remind us of the importance of our own lives and inspire us to grow. (Hopefully that doesn't sound to Hallmark Card-ish...but I'm pretty sure it does)

I just went out with a really close friend of mine the other day. Her mom passed away a year ago last week. Her mom's death was a wakeup call for her, too. She is a completely changed person. She is so much more optimistic and had made some wonderful changes in her life. She explained to me that as much as she missed her mom, she is so thankful for the changes that the tragedy inspired her to make. It has made her love and appreciate her mom's life (and her own) even more.

Good luck with your new plan of attack!!
 
We certainly missed you too! :grouphug: Welcome back!

I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I am sorry that you have had such a terrible time. Moving in with your aunt and her family was an excellent move - it is best if families can stick together at such times.

You have done really well to have got back on track so quickly and to have lost weight. :hurray: We all try to ignore the health risks that being overweight can bring - but there is no doubt that we would benefit by working to bring our BMI into the more "normal" area. You have had this demonstrated to you in the very strongest of ways.

Take care
Love
Margaret

I hope that work goes well today for you. Well done for eating healthy food and planning on going to the gym.

We are trying to do a difficult task - but you know that we can do it.
 
I hope that things are going better for you. I know that your aunt will be helping you deal with your loss.

Still thinking of you

Hi sweetie.. I have been away for a while to.

My new journal is: Stacy's "Breaking the Cycle"

I'm soooo sorry to hear of your news sweetie.

My heart goes out to you. I wish I could give you a Real Hug instead of a cyber one. :hug2:

 
hello old friends!

I've been thinking about everyone here lately, and thought it was time to come back online, and to get back on track.
Things have sure slid and fallen apart in the last year since I've been online- trying to deal with the passing of my mom- but i'm happy to report it hurts a little less each day.
Weight in meantime has stooped to all time high. I haven't been taking very good care of myself at all. I stopped going to the gym, I ate out with friends almost everyday... I've been stuck in a horrible cycle for awhile now, but I'm starting a new leaf. A new year, a new me!
So to anyone else reading this, thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to our journey's!
:seeya:
 
:grouphug:

I'm SO HAPPY you are back doll! ;)

I'm glad to hear that each day you can find a lil more peace.

~You have been missed~

*Happy Friday!*

<3 Stacy
 
Well, the weekend kinda went to you-know-where but that's cause my RHC is here, which caused me to snack on everything in sight, and then cry my eyes out about every little detail in my day. *sigh*

I'm still searching/creating a plan that will work for me... just trying to be more healthy, and cut out the bad and replace it with the new.
It doesn't help that I work at a place that serves burgers and bbq'd stuff. but that might change... today I got an email from an acquaintance asking if I'd be interested in applying for a job as a Producer's Assistant for a film he's working on. OMG! I'm also fell off my chair when I read that. I've been out of the film stuff since my mom passed away, just questioning if it's what I really want to do, and I've been getting ready to dip my toes back in, but ohmygosh! I don't know... scary!

I will admit, I like how this new year is starting out. Its a late start, but here I am getting my weight back on track, and possibly, a new career.

happy tuesday indeed!
 
How exciting doll!!

:party:

*Best Wishes!*

RE: food/exercise..

Yep, just start out slow and get comfy again.
I've learned the hard way too many times this can't be rushed or you fall back into 'failure mode.' lol

*Slow and steady wins the race!

:hug2:
 
Hey everyone!!

Well, RHC is finally gone for another month and tonight I've been given that awesome feeling inside of getting everything on track. I spent the evening in Chapters with a friend going through Diet books, trying to see if anything really popped out to me... nothing did. I came to the realization that I don't really want to follow along a diet, I just want to cut corners here and there and make permanent changes to my lifestyle. I want to create something on my own. Baby steps, if you will.

On Wednesday, I'm going to be signing up for a gym pass that is basically, right upstairs from my restaurant (how ironic). A girl that I work with has decided to join with me, we're going to push each other to lead more healthy and active lifestyles :coolgleamA:

Right now, I'm just thinking to myself about stuff to cut out. I know I need to cut out all the candy and chips. I want to cut out breads, or at least minimize my intake. I want to eat more fruit, drink water instead of pop, and snack on trail mix and sliced veggies instead of popcorn and chocolate bars.

Tomorrow (or basically in a few hours after getting some sleep) I'm going to try and pack things to bring with me throughout the day. I'll record more of a solid plan once I wake up and plan my day out. :hurray:

I'm excited. But not too excited to sleep, so goodnight :seeya:
 
Hey Starry and everyone,

Im fairly new to WLF as well and wanted to check out some diary's to see wat sort of things other people are doing.

I have to say I have just read all of your diary from beginning to end (spanning over 1 year!) and it was so mad to see how you were doing and how everything changed over the year. I was so sad to read about yuour Mum :-( and I can totally understand that it would have thrown you for a loop.

I was so glad to hear about the possible job op! I really hope all works out on that front and wo knows, maybe once you are a bit more settled then the weight loss will start to follow :)

Hope to hear how you are doing soon xx
