Losing Weight Sucks



I've always been on the bigger side, I guess. I've been overweight most of my life. I think I was at my smallest as a child and that doesn't count. I got my heaviest after I quit smoking. I gained 30 lbs. I've tried Tae-Bo, Ally, fad-diets and more. I refuse to get surgery, because for me personally it would be cheating. Awesome success for others that have done it - more power to you, but for me, I want to kick this weights ass on my own. IT IS SO HARD THOUGH! 

2010 - Family vacation. I hate this photo. I look at it and I just don't know how I got this way. Fast food, beer and sweets. That's how I got this way. I like to eat. Like most of us do. I didn't exercise and I love watching movies. I also work from home - so I'm on my ass all day long. ALL DAY!

A few years ago, I met a wonderful new friend Rena and she is such a positive influence on everyone around her. Her personal tales of weight loss inspired me to change my life. Gave me the motivation that it could be done. Now if I could only get my eating under control.




This is Rena & I today.
I'm still working out.  
I ❤️ this photo of myself.

Seven years later, I joined a planet fitness and workout all the time - every other day. I'm good on the exercise front. I cannot get my eating under control. I don't over eat. I just don't always eat healthy. I tried and I know what to eat, I just can't seem to make myself do it. I work out, I'm tired, I don't want to cook - I get take out. Damn you Postmates! Damn you straight to hell Postmates! Ugh. 😔
I don't know what to do. At least I enjoy working out. But I'm stuck. :( I tried oatmeal for breakfast - I hate it. It's gross. Not for me. I don't really like eating breakfast. A hard boiled egg at 10 am would do me fine.

I don't know - I've said the phrase like three times. That's not right. I KNOW what I need to do but not the capacity to do it.
I am stuck in a range of 258-263 and I can't get past it. I don't know what to do. I'm just not strong enough with my eating habits. I have cut out soda - except for like 1 a month. I don't put any sweeteners in my tea and use sugar free sweetener in my coffee and only 1 cup of that a day. I eat a lot of protein and I've tried to cut back on sweets and chips and things but I still slip and I'm not loosing as much weight as I want. I love take out - I mean - I FUCKING LOVE take out. Chinese, Taco Bell (you bitch) and Wendy's. Like I said, I don't over indulge, but there could be weekends where i might have all three.
I see some changes. I am stronger, I feel better and since the beginning of the year, I've lost about 12lbs. That's not nothing! Ha ha. I wish it was more, but I LIKE TO EAT! I need to find something that works for me. The goal system - you will see above - I have Tardis Blue in my hair - that was the 10lb goal. My next goal is a Star Wars tattoo at 30 lbs. 

I had a little home dance party this morning and it was a blast! Now I'm drinking a protein shake for breakfast.  I am never gonna stop trying! I would just love to see more results. I don't like to fail - so maybe by telling the world, I'll stick to it and you all can hold me accountable.
