Overeaters Anonymous

So inspired by the show Mike and Molly, and also a friend of mine, I found a OA meeting online in Spartanburg, and went to it (with said friend) this evening. And let me tell you...I LOVED it! This might just be the thing that makes this time different for me, and helps me keep off the weight for good! It's just nice to have people around you that are struggling with the same problems that you are, and some have come out of the struggling.

I will definetly be going back next Monday.

If you are interested, or would like to find a meeting to attend you can check them out at www.oa.org

Heart 0 : Body 1

So this weekend, even though my heart didn't stay physically fit :(,

my body still did :)

Even though my little bitty heart got dropped yet again, I stuck to my diet!

Confession:

It didn't hurt that I also had the stomach flu AGAIN this weekend, LOL.

But an achievement is an achievment none the less.

My goals for the week:

No soda, no fast food, eat breakfast, and work out atleast 3 times.

Also LOSE 5 more pounds! :)

Goal!!!

First of 10 goals!!! I have lost 10 pounds this week!!!

Only 9 more of those to go!

Woo Hoo!!

I won't be posting another pic until I lose 20 :)

Addicted

So, if you know me, you know that I am the poster girl for Yo-Yo dieting. Last year when I was going to get married (never happen, but that's a different blog ;) ) I got all the way down to 140 lbs. and was in a size 6 wedding dress! Which was very exciting for me, since I'd never had clothes that were in the single digits before. I did this by working out with a personal trainer 3 days a week, and doing cardio for the other 2 days. I was also doing the Weight Watchers program on my own. And then....I gained it alllllll back, plus some. So I was thinking..what will make this time different for me?

This time I have to have a different mindset to survive. I am going to treat my eating like an addiction. When you are a drug addict trying to leave a sober life, you must "stay clean" no matter what. Never pick up, no matter what. You do this because you know that the drugs will take you over, and impact your life in negative ways. I am taking this approach with eating. Soda, the Big Mac meal at McDonalds, Potato chips have to be all equal to drugs in my mind. I can not pick them up, no matter what. I must stay clean because my body, my confidence will all be negatively impacted.

This time will be different, I know it. This time, I'll be bulletproof.

Really??

Every month my apartment complex puts out a newsletter with important information and important dates, but it also has a movie previews section that tells you what will be out in theaters this month. I almost fell out when I read this synopsis, so I thought I would share it with you...

BEAVER
Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black (Mel Gibson) was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers form depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can't seem to get himself back on track...until a beaver (this is the point where I starting giggling) hand puppet (now I started laughing out loud) enters his life. Jodie Foster also stars.

***********************************************************************

Beaver hand puppet??? Really?!?

The worst part is I kinda want to see it. I mean if the synopsis is any indication of how BAD this movie will be, I just have to see it.
