My Goal For A Perfect Body

My current weight is 145 pounds, I would like for my weight to be about 110 but no less the 98 pounds.

My Bust size is 40 inches I would like to increase that by 2 inches.  My waist is 38 inches around and I would like it about 26-28 inches, my hips are 40  inches and I would like them to be around 33-36 inches, my thighs are 23 inches but no that is too big 16 inches would be bettermy calfs are dancers calfs so I will keep them.  Well I know it is going to be tough but I can do it I m worth it.   Dated December 25, 1991.

Hello Jenny Craig, hello weight watchers, and nutria system what is wrong with this picture.  I am now 192 pounds and I look like a beaced whale.  The only goal I met or surpast was my bust and the rest of me is as big as a house.

Now I was motivated back then and I was younger too.  What is my excuse?  I could blame my metabolism change on my age, but I am not going to.  I could blame my medication for the weigh gain and hard time breathing that could very well have happened.  Do I want to be thin well it has its perks!  There is a lot of underline things I can blame on the fact I just got bigger instead of smaller but the thing of it is is my responsibility I simply do not eat right or exercise I have tried to eat right and exercise but I and just plain board and LAZY.  Yes I said it I have no excuse.

Well Ok now I am selling Mary Kay and I walk a lot talking to people everyday, I met a nice buddyslimmer and we walked once then my car had a boo boo and I have not been able to catch up with her since Sorry Gigi!!!  My eating still needs help I eat because I am board and I eat because I am depressed.  It would be ok if I ate food that was good for me but that would be too easy.  I tried dropping carbs which would be very beneficial because carbs turn to sugar which is not good for a diabetic and then after not having carbs I have a carbs crash and reach for anything sweet I can find.  I did good tonigh actually although I had a piece of pie it was made with equal and I did not eat the whole piece.

OK so there you have it any ideas would be great!

Hi buddies well I thought I would write and says hi and to let you all know that this weekend my husband and I drove to Arizona to get our oldest granddaughter for 2 weeks while we were there we swim in the pool at my son’s complex and the Colorado River was 1/2 block away so we walked down and went for a swim. My daughter-in-law said to me you need a smaller swim suit that one hangs on you I got a little burnt but it is OK on the 12th we are going back up there and all of us are going tubing down the river I am so excited I can’t wait!
Well today I put on the skirt and blouse I have on in my home page I bought it with a leap of faith when tried it on on Mother’s Day I had to squeeze into it I saw it it jumped of the rake at me and the largest size I could get was and XL, I wear (wore) a XXL I tried it on and bought it anyway. Well it is loose on me not real loose but it fit a lot better then it did on Mother’s Day. I had my pictures taken in it today with my two granddaughters. While I am not photo genic the pictures came out great! I saw previews to order and I get them back the 3rd. The one I am excited to getone that has me and my two granddaughters together and one granddaughter on each side by themselves.
OK so that is it for now I don’t see a lot of weight coming off but apparently the inches are! Wishing you all success with you life style change.

A new way to think about losing weight

I have to keep telling myself that. It’s not. A diet is something you do for a short period of time in order to get a result that doesn’t last, and you end up worse off than before. No, no…this is not a diet.

It is a way of life. A life change. Something different. I think we are often too hard on ourselves. I think we get disappointed in ourselves. We get frustrated because after a lot of hard work, the scale doesn’t move, or the inches don’t come off.

So we go to what we know best. Food. Then more guilt, more frustration, more disappointment.

But I’ve come to realize something. If this isn’t a diet…and it is a way of life, then it’s ok. It’s ok to have a bad week on the scale, because it’s not the end of the world. Next week will come…and then the next. If this is about life change, then I must look at this as a marathon and not a sprint.

I didn’t get fat overnight. No, I got fat after years and years of neglect and overeating, lack of exercise, being tired, and a miriad of other excuses. Therefore I can’t expect to lose this weight over night. And I won’t lose it next week and I won’t lose it next month.

But I will lose it. Why?? Because I’m not on a DIET!!. I’m changing my life. I’m changing my lifestyle. I know that while I may have a bad week on the scale or even a bad month, next year, I will not be the same person I was. I will be healthier. I don’t know what that means on the scale, but I don’t think it matters either. If this is my way of life, then I will be healthier. I know it.

So if I mess up and have a donut or a piece of cake or a slice of pizza now and then, it’s ok. I’m not going to drown myself in guilt, nor am I going to drown myself in food. I’m just going to enjoy life. That might mean eating great for a month and then eating not so great for a day or two. But I’m going to enjoy life knowing that I’m making decisions that will make me a happier, healthier person in the future.

I’m not going to look in the mirror and get disappointed that I don’t look the way I want to now. It will come. But it will take a while. And you know…that’s ok. I’m changing. When the changes come and are visible…then great, but it’s ok if I don’t see them yet. I just know that everyday I’m going to make better decisions.

Remember…THIS IS NOT A DIET! This is a life change. A new way to live your life. Enjoy it.

Fun Weekend

Hi all had a fun weekend going to my friends BB party with my son it was at a dance club we dances all night will at least until midning then left.  They had kareokee and my son sang 5-6 songs he is pretty good I di not sing I was to chicken to get up in front of people and try it I am tone deaf and I did not want to make them creang.  My son can’t wait for next time we go. Appatite suppressed has reallly help with my eating and has really help to lower my blood sugar!

Not My Self

Hi to all my friends that know me and to the buddyslimmers who have not had a chance to meet me!  I have had a rough week.  Stress is a big factor and I broke out in hives which I thought and still think they are from nerves or stress Dr. says it is the soap I have been using I amdiabetic and the soap has dried me out   Well I have been depressed to the point I was thinking of ending it all (my life)but I am still here.  I wanted on the computer so bad but the son was no and it is always drama with him so I sat and cried all day playing solitaire.  I need to let it out by talking top somebody but that did not happen.

Anyway the Dr. ask about my blood sugar and I told him I can not get it under 160 in the morning and between 250 and 300 at night.  It you are diabetic you know that is bad so he wanted to start me on insulin shots, I begged him to try something else so he gave me a prescribtion fo an appitttie surpressant to help with the weight loss I don’t lile taking pills for weight loss but I am at a point I will try it to avoid insulin shots.  I was sleeping alot too and so the depression was heavy and my blood sugar was high now I have only been on the pills 2 days and I am spinning my house is getting cleand and I only slept 4 1/2 hours last night.  Not even hungry but I make myself eat a little for strenght.  Plwase pray I go back in 2 weeks to see the resualts, oh and last night my blood sugar was 145 and this morning it was 113 I hope I can keep it up.

Prayer Request (A Baby Needs You)

 Hi all I have a prayer request it is not for me but for my son’s girlfriend.  You see she is pregnant and her parents are pressuring her to terminate the pregnancy, one reason is because she was born with mild retardation!  She appears find to me but this is what her mother has told me.  I can see her parents being scared to death about it I am praying every day the baby will be healthy.  I am pro-life but I have not said anything to her to encourage her or discourage her it is not my place.  It is her choice what to do, she is 27 years old and they shelter her like she is a child.  My kids have disabilities as well but I have tried to let the make their own choices.  Her parents feel that we are happy with the news and we have brain washed her.  My Son wanted to marry her, so he bought her a ring they were just getting use to that when news of her pregnancy came to light.  She was supposed to have an operation for gall stones when the lab test came back they could not operate so she has to suffer though that as well.  Anyway the parents ask him to wait one year he said Ok 1 year.   They wanted her to marry in a Catholic Church he said no problem I will go through the classes , now they want to know if the baby can be baptized Catholic he said sure, they said the baby has to be bilingo my son said of course.  They have conservatorship over her and I don’t think they ever intended for her to marry period.  They have kicked her out of the house and given her two weeks to find a place to live but they told her she can not live here.

Please pray for the family for guidance and wisdom, and for peace with my son’s girlfriend so she is not so stressed out.

Thanks,

Cindy

Words of Wisdom

Don’t Quit

When you’ve eaten too much and you can’t write it down,

And you feel like the biggest failure in town.

When you want to give up just because you gave in,

and forget all about being healthy and thin.

So What! You went over your points a bit,

It’s your next move that counts…So don’t you quit!

It’s a moment of truth, it’s an attitude change.

It’s learning the skills to get back in your range.

It’s telling yourself, “You’ve done great up till now.

You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow.”

It’s part of your journey toward reaching your goal.

You’re still gonna make it, just stay in control.

To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,

if you summon the will to get back in the race.

But, often the struggler’s, when loosing their grip,

Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.

And learn too late when the damage is done,

that the race wasn’t over…they still could have won.

Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,

but facing each challenge will help you grow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.

When you’re pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,

If you bite it, you write it….But don’t you quit!

I WILL BE CRUISING

Hi friends well as some of you know I have been caring for my Mom which is always fun!  When she fells well we go shopping and do lunch.  I wanted to go to college again but was denied a grant, then after some changes in my application where made I qualified.  So I start back to school next week.  My hubby and I had not been getting along even as early as last weekend because he is stressed about his broken car he started drinking again.  I was fed up and told him that was it on Monday I was filing for legal separation!  He went in and called his mom and step-dad and his step dad came and got him (he is a recovering addict) anyway so he left and I thought he would stay with them the weekend but came back around midnight and told me he wanted to take me to Catalina for our anniversary the end of the month, I told him you just can show up over there without making reservations so he had me go down on Monday and get info, well because that weekend is a holiday things fill up fast so Saturday he was off and we went to AAA to check it out only one hotel was available and $300 a night food not included.  So the lady recommenced that we try a cruise we laugh and said ya right well yesterday we booked a 4 day cruise to Mexico.  We leave September 3 in the late afternoon and arrive in Catalina in the morning where we will spend the day and that evening leave there to wake up in Ensenada if we sleep! LOL!!!!, spend the day there and leave late night and have a “Fun Day” at sea the next and return to port on the morning of the 8th!  I was looking at the things to do and it is going to be a blast!  so we have 4 weeks to save for survivors.  Food is included in the price of the cruise only thing that is not is drinks (wine, bottled water, mix drinks) they have shows onboard, dancing, exercise room all included with the exception of the spa which is extra they even have a casino.  What a treat this is better then just going to Catalina.  Oh and the 2 days plus to excursion in Catalina would have been $1,500.00 not including food.  The cost of the 4 day cruise was $710.00, think however it will run the same after sight seeing and the extras but we get 2 more days and more cities.

OK so that is it for me, my weight is the same and I am not even worried about it.  I will not overeat or under eat.  With the meds I am on now I was worried about weight gain and so far I am good.

Talk to you soon.  Good luck all!

Cindy
