Tamara's Diary

I lost 3lbs!!! Woot!! :D I keep thinking "how am I doing this? I'm eating so much food!"... Down to 275! :D

Today was one of my bad days...
Here's how today looked:

4:00AM: Slice of pizza
1:30PM: Slice of pizza, orange, danimals
6:45PM: 1oz pork, 1c rice, 1c frozen peas
8:00PM: 14 Ritz, 2 tblsp pb
10:30PM: Chicken fajita wrap
11:30PM: 1c Chocolate Icecream
Drank Water and Icetea all day!

Total: 2427 calories.
 
Thanks you two! :)

Ashy: It's like the only place to shop near here (for anything except food) :p Kmart has too little selection. Target's too far away ;)
M2M: I know if I kicked smoking cigs, I can most definately kick drinking soda! It's not a drug, your right...
 
You got it :)

Take it one day at a time - you CAN do it :)
And congrats to you for kicking cigs!!
 
I went from drinking diet soda to drinking the real thing - especially after hearing the high rate of increased weight gain linked to diet soda.

I did want to hit on this a second for those who aren't completely informed. This is a correlation not a direct relationship. Meaning that they see people who drink diet soda end up gaining weight, but the reasons behind it are not the fact alone that they are drinking diet soda.
The biggest factor is people don't watch what they eat, and think that diet soda will be enough to keep them from gaining weight. Well, I think we all know here that isn't true. ;)

Its the stereotypical situation of...
"Can I take your order?"
"Yes I'll take a big mac, large fry, milkshake, and a diet coke"
 
I just wanted to post my opinion about the diet soda thing. There is just NO WAY that drinking diet soda, which has almost no calories can cause you to gain weight. It's kind of like the LOw-Carb people who avoid carrots or tomatoes. I'm sorry, people don't get big eating carrots and tomatoes. Every time I have successfully lost weight (that sounds terrible, hopefully a phrase not to be repeated in the future.) I have done it drinking diet soda. I think it is the mentality that people go "well I'm drinking Diet so I can have a burger and fries." And they are just putting the extra calories in anyway. It ain't the soda, people.

Today, there was this chick who ate a basket of fries, and two chicken sandwiches with a diet coke.. and I thought about this.
 
Yeah, I did fall off the face of the earth huh? Sorry about that guys. I've kinda given up, and can't support anyone else with how depressed I've been lately, I gained 5lbs in my hiatus, and I feel like my marriage is falling apart :(, I'll try to visit some more, I barely want to move lately, it's been hard enough for me to get out of bed to even eat, and when I do, I binge...or post on my blog...lol...blogging is over rated, lol. Anyway, thought I'd let you all know what's going on, sorry for just "dropping off the face of the earth"...but I'm not dead, guess that's a good thing. My husband was suppose to be gone earlier this month, but they suspended him for 30 days because he got mad that they wouldn't fix his paperwork saying he was single... which would of made it so the baby and me didn't get dependent pay or insurance... sooooo... he came back, and now we're fighting! Yay!! :cry: All the damn time. My life is falling apart, and the last thing I need to worry about is my weight... I wish I could go see a counseler or something, because I've never been this depressed in my life. I really hope your all doing well with your weight-loss! And congrats to anyone whose lost weight! Good luck! And hope to see you all soon.

I'm sick and tired of my Mothers negitive, mean, and out right hateful comments about my weight! How the hell am I suppose to stick with dieting if all I'm hearing is "your be beautiful...if only...", "i lost 3 more pounds, have you lost any more weight *with a mean laugh added*", when I asked if she thought the air climber sounded like it would work for me she said "stop eating and work around the house"... everytime I go to her for support I feel less about myself, and just want to cry! I hate her actions.

Here's what I ate today, it's a perfect example of the amount I've been eating lately... does it help with explaination that I've been terribly depressed lately? *shurgs*

4 pieces of french toast used 2 eggs, and lots of powdered sugar
Hotdog w/ ketchup, mustard and relish
Hotdog w/ BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and relish
2 pork enchalada's w/ lettuce, tomato and sourcream on top
2 Hotdogs w/ BBQ sauce, coleslaw and relish and 1/2 a Danimals smoothie

Drank a little more then 32 oz of water so far...

Don't even ask me to add up the calories, probably a f***load!

Everytime I look in the mirror I see a ugly, fat piece of crap...

Oh, and I'm still sitting at 280lbs... how? No idea!

Whoa. Please get some help and support, do you have really great friends? Sounds like your mother, when she may mean well and want the best for you, is going about it totally wrong. You don't deserve to be talked to that way--not at this time, not ever! I hope things turn around for the best for you, and I pray to give you strength to get through this all. If possible, try not to turn to food for comfort. Hang in there! :hug2:
 
I'm slowly coming back to the forums. And slowly, but surely starting to focus on my diet again. In my absense, I've only gained 2 or 3 pounds (the scale hasen't decided, lol), it's just been really hard since Michael left, and even before then I was super depressed, but I'm starting to get onto a schedule with our son and waking up in the morning has helped me a lot too. Later I'll come on to list what I've eaten today, and thanks for those who've been supportive during my absense.
 
It seems impossible to even try to stick to my diet. I'm eating like a million calories a day... I don't know why I even try anymore. I saw this show on TLC about this lady who weighs 627lbs... oh god, I can't imagine me weighing that much! But I'll end up like that if I don't get control of it now huh? *sighs*

Had a baby...
And 9 months later...
I'M BACK!!! :D

I'm sorry that I wasen't able to stay in touch like I wanted to. Between moving accross the country, getting married, and preparing for the baby... life has just been busy (oh, and my husband also joined the Army). Not to mention quite some time of not having access to the internet.

I'm so happy! I stepped on the scale today just to see how much I weighed after having my baby (because I wanted to see if I weighed more then I did when I got pregnant... which was 300lbs)... and guess what? I now weigh 282lbs!!! :D

We don't have much money right now, so I can't eat exactally what I want to, but that doesn't mean I can't keep track of my calories and portions...

Sooooo...

Who wants to hear about my baby? Hehe... :p

Michael Edward Walter III was born on March 18th, 2007, delivered cesarean section. He weighed 10lbs, 10.6oz, and he was 22 1/4 inches long! :)
