January 1, 2008

I need to lose weight.  BIG surprise, huh?  I've fought my weight my entire life.  Some times, I really try hard, and get things under control...although I don't think I've ever been my "ideal" weight.  I've been within 20 lbs of it, that's about it.  Today, I can't even see it from here.

I usually don't do journal posts about it, when I'm trying to lose weight.  It's the same as not saying anything at work.  I feel like, if I fail, or order a big ol' cheeseburger, I don't want folks thinking, "So, what happened to the diet?"

Anywho, I'm going to try again.  It will help that I decided to not eat out any more due to finances.  That cuts out fast food, a big weakness for me.  I also plan to not keep "dessert" of any kind around, other than Jello (which I love) and other lower fat things.  No chips, either.  *shudder*  Did I just say that?

LOL yeah, I know how to do it, and I know how to do it without feeling cheated.  Portion control can take a lot of weight off me.  The whole family needs it, so here we go!  Happy new year!

Is it REALLY 2008?  Wow.

Beans and rice are really cheap, too.  We've had 3 different variations of beans and rice this week.  Oh yeah, and chicken leg quarters ain't too high-priced.

Good luck sweetie. I need to do the same thing, but I don't to make it a "resolution." Sounds like you are on the right track!

Did you just say.....the D word?!

I know I'm chunky, but I like my new boobs, so I'm not going to lose weight if I can help it.  LOL

LOVE YOU!!

Good luck with the dieting.  I need to lose too in a big way.  I have lost a bit as my jeans are not near as tight.  
Would be nice to buy a lower size.
Somehow eating less and exercising more has to become a way of life and its just so hard especially when we are such foodies.  Hubby is cutting back so that should help me.  Again, good luck.

I need to lose weight, too! I'm not sure yet just how I'm going to attack the issue though. But, I will come up with a plan.
