Well, this has been a tough week for me. I don't know if it is the weather, or that I am sick as usual, or if I am a bit depressed, or that I am just an addict that is looking to blame my problems on someone other than me.
I am thinking that maybe all the above situations apply to me in some form or another. Have you heard the saying when it rains it pours? Well, of course we all have, and it has in my little neck of the woods.
I have been crazy busy with work all day and then I get home and take my son to driving school most evenings and then I pick him up. Last week the only time I spent at my house was to sleep. I have two weeks worth of laundry that I am slowly trying to catch up on, and my schedule is just as busy this week too. But wait, there's more. My son is sick, he has an infection that the doctor seems to think I passed on to him, and I have my infection that antibiotics isn't fighting.
So, this happens to the best of us, I know, but my eating habits is tied to my feelings and I am a food addict. That is just as bad as being into drugs or alcohol. Last week, I started making excuses as to why I shouldn't have to keep following the diet plan. I was blaming everyone else in my diet group for not following, so why should I?
Crazy, huh? I am the one that needs to lose MY weight and no one else can do it for me so whether they are doing something or not (and I don't really know if they are) should not hinder my progress.
Every once in awhile I get to feeling this way and all the things that are not good for me is what I want. This attitude is not just in my eating habits in is in every aspect of my life right now.
So while I am on here whining about my problems, all is not lost. I have a couple of friends who are talking to me to help me through this.
Thanks to them, I am slowly getting back on track, I am staying on my diet this week, but it is a chore. Sometimes, that is just the way it is.
So, progress report...I gained 1 1/2 pounds this week, not too bad considering what I am going through. Let's hope that next week I will be in a different frame of mind or this will be one pathetic blog for you all to read.
So until next time, I hope to gain nothing but knowledge and lose nothing but weight.

Rhonda, this started out sounding pathetic, but the good news???? YOU recognized what was going on. Yeah for you. Before, you would have kept on blaming everyone and went off the deep end. This time you realize that the blame goes to you. Don't beat yourself up.. we all go through this. Just think about this: Even though you have had a hetic week, and I know you have, it would have been just as hetic even if you had not lost 39 pounds. You are doing wonderful and I am proud of you. Hope you have a better week and make better choices this week. And may next week be even better. Love you, Sharon
I am an intelligent person. I will control my emotions and not let my emotions control me. Every time I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustruated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember that even though I overeat in private my excess poundage is there for all to see.
I WILL TAKE OFF POUNDS SENSIBLY!
the world
I realize that this is terribly difficult. You are going to be a much stronger person when you have reached your goal. Keep your head on straight. You are smarter than this thing that has got you down.
