There ya have it.....the true meaning of task!  I like this one...

a matter of considerable labor or difficulty. Wouldn't you agree...losing weight is difficult. Not to mention the labor it takes to remember stuff like, is this the right amount of veggies. And should I weigh myself every 5 minutes! And don't forget you have to keep track of EVERY single thing you put in your mouth. Or spill on your chest! It could be dangerous to have some spare food lying a breast on your shirt! lol get it? A breast!!! As in chicken breast... I know I'm twisted!! 

Ok so your whole day could be sucked up with the thought of what to eat, when to eat, and when to exercise not to mention when to go shopping for all the right foods to eat! Argggggggggggggggggggggggg!!! I am feeling like I want to jump off a cliff while typing this. hehe soooooooooooo

Let me just say..."DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND THEN MAYBE SOME EXTRA BEST TO GET OVER THE HUMP" I fail everyday. I think they call that being normal! 

*hugs* to all my fellow fatties!!

Dear Fat Person (meaning myself)

  I am writing to tell you that you have won a million dollars from the "Blog Yourself Thin Club!" 

Yes, you are our grand prize winner of the newest weight loss craze ever to sweep the country!!!!  And with your small donation of $500.00 we can soon become the newest weight loss craze ever to sweep the "WORLD"!!!!  Won't you please help out in our cause. It means a lot to all the fat people that sit around home with no life. Starring into their computer screen at their fat loss blog. In hopes that it will motivate them to stay on task.

These people need our support.  For the very reason that you're probably not aware of, that most of us, are usually sitting there eating a BIG FAT ding dong or a yellow cake donut, dipped in chocolate. The kind of chocolate that snaps when you bite into it. Then as it coats the roof of your mouth, you close your eyes,  you think ah could this moment last forever? You wish you could you do this every night and never gain one, not one single pound!!!  Ahhhhhhhhh the ecstasy, the relaxing, almost melty, soft soothing feeling that comes over you. Your eyes glaze over and that comforting smile floats over your thoughts of more~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(o)(o)(o)(o) more donuts just like the first one!!

How many of us have felt this way? Come on...raise your hand!?!?!  Dooooooooo it!!! hehehe I know I have. Man have I ever.  Food has become such a romantic, comforting feeling for me.  How I wish I could use food for what it was intended. To keep you alive and healthy.  Ohh I know it has to taste good or we wouldn't eat it.  Now what I am going to do, is remind myself why I turned to food for comfort. And remind myself that the reason is done, over, gone, deleted DEAD!!! So let it go and move forward-----------> Yep forward!  So having said that, I have gained .2 pounds and I am guessing that is water retention. On account I haven't been taking my water pills. Nowwwwwwwwww, before you all go postal on me about taking my pills. I have the choice to take the pills and pee my pants all day. Or not and retain some water, temporarily. Today retention won out! hehe

OK, let's get on the rest of my twisted fantasy here.... :D

Hello all my Weight Conscience Friends!

  Ok..so how has everyone done this week?  So far I'm at the same weight I was last week. Bla!  Ohhh you want to know how much I weigh?  hmmmm' are we really BFF's?  Alright, alright slow down.....wait for it......265!  Their I said it, I'm not happy about it, but I said it. Man...WWWWWHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! That's what my grandson says when he doesn't get his way. I thought I might try it and see if it gets me what I want!!!  So ever think what you do want when you lose your chub?  What do I want? Well if ya have to know, I want to be 125 pounds.  I weighed that when I was a senior. And don't you think being and LOOKING like you did back in your youth, would be GREAT????   Oh man think of the possibilities... mine would be-
1.  NO wrinkles...anywhere!

2.  Boobs that don't touch my knees when I sit down!

3.  A lap that my grand-kids can actually sit on.

4.  Brown hair again...(even my hair is fat) :D

5.  I could ride my bike and you could actually see the seat while I'm riding. Not a pole up my A$$!!

6.  Beautiful teeth, well heck just some teeth in the first place! *wink*

7.  Be able to fit in a booth at a restaurant, comfortably! Not have the table jammed into your gutt!!!

 8.  Just some sexy panties eh?  Not underpants you can jump from a plane with and use them as a parachute.

9.  Dimples on my cheeks, and I mean the ones on your face, not the tens of thousands on your other cheeks!

10. And lastly my Memory back....(it's fat too) being 55 has it's good moments, but it also has it's bad moments as well. So let's raise a glass of diet water and say three cheers to losing weight and hopefully getting our wish list answered by the PHAT fairy!!!!!!!!    Cheers everyone!!

p.s. I have posted a couple pic's of my days when I was young and had tight skin, long brown hair, and the world was my oyster....(what does that mean anyway?) OK prepare to be shocked! lol

Hangs Her Head In Shame

Alas...I am ashamed to even be here.  I have fallen of the wagon so to speak.  I am getting back on the horse or wagon if you will... For several reasons:
1.  I am still fat.
2.  I am having knee surgery.
3.  I want to wear cool clothes AGAIN!!
4.  I need this blog to help me stay in line.

Their I said it... Whew!  I feel better already.  On reason I haven't been here is my hubby got real sick one night and I called an ambulance and off he went to the hospital. Not more than hour there. They pulled him  into surgery. They had told me he might not make it thru' the surgery! :(  Now about an hour and a half I got to go see him. Then I found out he had diverticulitis.  And they took a foot and a half of his small intestine out! eeewwwww  And for those that are wondering....YES he had a poop bag put on.  I even had to learn how to put one on and clean it out. Another eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww. lol  Actually it wasn't so bad.  You do these kind of things for the ones you love. And I really like gutts!! hehehe I should of been a Doctor!! :D

 Ok next topic...My daughter and I are back on Weight Watchers and hope to be a size minus 14 by summer!  OK, so maybe I am expecting to much. lol  But shouldn't I aim high?  Or should I keep my expectations low so I don't get crushed. lol  Well, one way or the other I need to lose the rest of my chub!

My biggest problem with losing weight, is the damn exercise. grrrr  I have a robo knee in my left leg, and soon another robo knee will put  in my right leg. So getting down on the floor is a definite "NO"  Once you get the metal knees you can't kneel on them. So no doggie leg lift's!! :D I know...I know...their is plenty of things I can do that is called exercise. :D   So having said that I will...I will do the stand up kind of exercise!
X-my heart and hope to get thin! hehe  So Team Sadler is armed and ready to go !!!!!!  I will report back tomorrow at 1300 or 1100 or some sort of 100 hours. Just check in often. lol  I will be back tomorrow. 
Hang in their with me!!
Quay

p.s. I have loaded a picture of me on the 4th of July...so all can see how chub looks on a holiday! hehe

Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt!!

Howdy all you faithful followers... :D  I am still here, struggling like the rest of the world, well a few anyway in the world..lol  My main staple has been yogurt. Yep, good ol' sweet, light, fat free yogurt! I only like two kinds. Yoplait strawberry and Yoplait strawberry/banana. Today I am eating just plain strawberry!! Can we
all say YUM??? hehe  

Sooooooooooooooo Good!!

Ok so here is the latest and not so greatest, I have lost 3 pounds, that is the greatest part. The not so greatest is I will probably gain it back. I know I know...think positive. Oh I am, I am also being logical. I know just eating Yogurt isn't a good plan. BUTT... I have no time these days. I am so busy with my Grand-kids and my own children and my mother and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I am ready to explode!!!!!

Is it possible to a little over weight and still be happy? I think I have been fairly happy, I would like to be thinner so my diabetes stay's in control. It is now but I know it would be even better if I was thinner. So in light of that, I am still trying. Hang in there with me, I am doing the best I can do right now with all that is going on in my life.
Stay tuned for further chitter chatter!! :D

Yawn!

Hello....I know I am losing followers!! Waaa! I have been tending grandkids and well, I think you all know what that means! :\  So here is the latest...I am stuck where I was last time. I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off and well that isn't enough I guess. poo!

My mom bought one of those exercise chairs that twist and bend and works out all of your gut while you sit on your butt! (I know it rhymes) hehe  So do you think I make time to sit on it? Heck no....I'd rather be looking up The Monkees info! I am re-living my past teen years. hehe  Mike was my fav!!  Now here is the really cute part.  My granddaughter is starting to like the monkees too! hehe She sings along with the music and even asked to watch one of the shows today! bwhahaha  Ya gotta love that!!

NEWS FLASH!! I am also turning into a coupon grandma!! I have been watching the show on TLC and I am hooked.  I have gone shopping 2 times so far and loved loading up my cart and watching the coupons deduct the original price.  WONDERFUL!

SO ya see I have been a very busy person these days. Much to busy to lose weight!! hehe  BUTT...I am still here aren't I?  So my desire is weak but alive!! I may just need a shock to my thinking so I can get back on track!! Speaking of track...na, I am not doing that!! hehe

Ciao fellow chubbers!!

Yippeeee, Yahoooo and Yowza!!

Well guess what? I have lost 9 pounds!!!  Yep I climbed my big fat butt onto the creeepy ol' scale and "weighted" to see the numbers and lo' and behold I was 9 pounds down!!!

I could hardly believe it! I thought hell woman go to the store and shop to celebrate...hehe But then I remembered payday wasn't until the end of the week. hmmmm bummer! But NOT a bummer since some of the fat (I hope) has come from my bum!! hehe 

Soooooooo how did I get back on track? I had to let my acid reflux pills lapse becuz' of our crappy insurance, and I started getting bloated and uncomfortable without them. Everything I ate was giving me heartburn and then the acid reflux at night. SO here is my big secret... wait for it.... I stopped eating the foods that were upsetting my stomach. Simple right? COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG!!  I loved the food I was eating, and lots of it too! hehe I had to stop eating snacks after dinner, late at night, in the middle of the day when I was bored.  By snacks I mean, cake, mini hostess donuts (whole bags of them) chocolate and so on.... you know all the things we crave and love.

Now, I am not saying this is a secret way to lose weight, but what I am saying is, it's working for me. It is forcing me to eat better and healthier becuz' I can't stand the pain! And consequently I am turned off by those yummy foods! hehe  And a bonus is I no longer need the pills which puts more money in my pocket! WIN WIN I say!! :D

So here is a funny story about one of my grand-daughters. Her name is Ivy and she is ADHD, she is extremely bright for her age (I bet all grandma's say that) hehe She has a nac of saying the right things at the right time that can make you bust a gut!  What happened was grandpa had her and our other grand-daughter, Quaylyn in the car, they stopped at a red light and on the corner was a man dressed up in a statue of liberty costume. Advertising a discount on their filing your taxes. The sign read "50% off" (then some bigger words she couldn't read) Now Ivy read those words as "$50 off"  Then she paused....and replied "What a Rip!!!" I swear I am busting up here as I write this..hehehehe  She never fails to put things in perspective!! hehe

Here is first Quaylyn, then Ivy... they both fill my cup to the brim daily!! (those are little aprons, not dresses, just sayin') hehe

I'm FATTER!!!

First of all I have gained 15 pounds back!! Waaaaaaaaaaaa! I don't know how I did it, I just did!! Wait that isn't true....I did it one bite at a time. One bite of cheesecake, then another and another. Then candy and cheetos, dinner out, birthday party cake, ice cream, cookies, extra helpings of dinner, lunch and breakfast.  OMG!!

Sooooooo let's talk eh?  Have you ever reached a point where you are starting to feel pretty damn good. I mean, your feeling rather sexy and hot! hehe "I'm doing really good on this plan." I haven't lost but I haven't gained. SO deep in the sick helpless brain a fat person has, you tell yourself I can have 1 donut, and then 2, then 3 and then before you know it I have eaten the entire bag of Hostess mini chocolate donuts. Mmmmmm SO yummy!!  What?? Am I sick in the head??? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I am!  I can't stop! I don't know how it happens it just does. I go into a drunken stupor and eat until I need an entire bottle of tums!!   GOD help me!!

Have ya ever been there? And if so what did ya do to break the spell of "I'm a fat pig again" lol  Oh and BTW I found that scale. That's how I know I have gained 15 pounds back. :D  Bla!

SO my peeps....I am at a loss. A loss of courage and a loss of power!  Food has crept back into my brain the way it was when I weighed 326.  It's an addiction thing.  SO if you have any suggestions? Please lay them on me...and FAST...I am turning into a huge barge!! hehehe

Below is me in one of my drunken cake stupors!! And check out those boobs...are they hanging or what? Sick!! I need a new bra! Yes folks I do have a bra on, and the bottom of my shirt has some grandkid spillage of sorts so please don't think I fell over laughing in my state of cake drunkenness and soiled myself!! hehehehe

What a dork I am here...hehehe Luv' ya all!

Packing it up!

How does one pack up there belongings?? I do mine all in U-haul boxes. Nice and neat! Everything goes in a box. I want no stragglers left behind. And if I have put ever thing in a box there will be no stragglers...right???

Ok...so I have boxed up my scale, I have no idea if I have lost and if I have, how much. And I cannot remember what box it is in. SO just for fun, let's see if I lose anything from the time of this post till I find it. I last weighed my self over a week ago. And I was 256. I know I know...getting chubby again! lol I got down to the 251 during my surgery and recovery. It was the first time I was 251 in over 12 years. It looked good!! I just want you all to know I am still motivated and have been staying away from boredom eating (which BTW is my aquiles heel) Since we have been painting and boxing, all I do is hurt so I haven't wanted to do much but sleep, or work harder to get things done. SO I guess what I am saying is....eating bad, working good! lol


So, keep watching and see if I have lost anything....Now I am off to work some more...TTYL friends!
Ps... Pic is from a luncheon we had with some of our old high school buddies!! I was so glad that I could go! If this had been 3 years ago, I wouldn't have gone. To fat! Life is so much better these days!

4:00 am?

WoW! I am up and it's 4 o'clock in the morning...What am I doing up this early you ask? Well my hubby woke me up, by eating some pretzels!!! Thank goodness I am not a big fan of eating pretzels! :D  However I feel a box of macaroni and cheese calling me. But I am not hungry, becuz' it is freezing in here, so all I can think about is hurrying and getting back to bed! lol So I will refrain!! 

So how many of you like "Turkey Burger"?  :( Blac!! My mom is trying to get me to eat it. Yuck-o...I have ate it and it sucks! So no real meaning behind this post, just the mutterings of a tired old woman who thought she better type something before she cuddles up under her blankets.

So until later my fellow fatties...I will bid you adieu...

New Year, New Goals

Really? New Goals? Like "Hey I wanna stay a fat slob forever" or "Geez Fat looks good on me" Riiiight!! hehe  OK so I have the same goals, lose weight! And why break with tradition! It's a new year and why not have the same ol' "I'm going to lose weight this year?" SO in short, I am still on my goal of losing weight and getting healthier and happier! Happier by "weigh" of less pain lugging all this fat around! Healthier by "weigh" of being of sound mind! Right now my mind is a little lost. We are in the process of moving our household to a much smaller home than what 6 adults can live in. Yikes! So we are having to downsize some. Such as losing weight does! (awww great analogy) lol Gotta stick with the theme of things here! lol

Ok, so moving sucks and so does being fat, but loosing the tonnage is great and so is the loss of all the cardboard boxes after the move. Then and only then will my mind return and be back to normal!! Normal? really? Was I ever normal? And that my readers is another entry!!
 Get happy and thin this year... TTYL

Bowing my Head in Shame!

*BIG sigh* Ok peeps...the battle of the bulge has won...well the fat side of the battle!  I have "GAINED" 10 pounds since I last wrote in here. *sniff sniff* Some how I managed to eat myself to the fat tard stage!  10 pounds, unbelievable!  Is it really???? Hell no!!!  It is believable I have made the basic Christmas goodies, such as, cherry cheese cake, spaghetti casserole with a BUTT load of mozzarella CHEESE!!! And speaking of BUTT load..my BUTT is a whole bunch of fat now!! I'll take a picture.. hang on! Ok..let me explain something. I have been out to my other house, painting. so I lost my balance and fell backwards onto the closet door my mom and I were painting, and my pants got a huge amount of yellow paint on them. So enjoy! hehe

WoW! Nice paint clothes eh?  Ok so I have explained my plight and confessed my unworthy soul to you! Please still be my friend? Don't turn away from me because I am hideous! I need your support! :D

Alrighty, when we move I am really thinking about going back to WW if I can afford it! I will have to check my budget. So in the mean time, I better at least keep blogging and watching what I put in my mouth! Speaking of mouth, I am going to shut mine right about now....to ALL of my faithful followers, "Have a Very Merry Christmas!"

Holy Moly...it's been a while!!

Wowie! I have slacked here...been busy with my surgery recovery and physical therapy. I am glad to say I am walking more normally and feeling a WHOLE lot better! I will be doing the other knee come March or April! And now the reason I got my knees done????


I WAS SUPER FAT!!! hehe I wore my knees right out to the bone. When your carrying an elephant on your back something has to give. And my knees were it! I am so grateful they have this type of surgery so that I can still walk and not end up in a wheelchair. That's where I was headed the Dr. said. ACK!

Ok I am down to 251 and I go up to 254 then back to 251...BUTT I am ok with that. I seem to hover in a slot for awhile then I lose like 6 pounds all at once. So I am waiting for that magic moment now! hehe

Speaking of magic moment, I have dropped 14 dress sizes since I have been on this journey!!!  I can hardly believe it!  When I added up the dress sizes, it was like Christmas morning. Magical all the way. Yehaw! I want to do what a fellow WW friend did. She went to the store and asked if she could take pictures of things that matched her weight loss. You know like 85 pounds of shortening, 85 pounds of dog food.  Then I could see what I was actually carrying around. I know it is going to look GY-NORMOUS!!! So when I do I will post the pics here. And Lesia...I will have my Daughter email me that picture and get it up here, just for you!!

Ok all you fellow fatties..Christmas is coming! And so are the good eats! What to do, what to do...Well I am not going to stress for one and two I am going to eat with thought and control.  I am going to taste the food and if it is good I am going to swallow it. If it isn't tasty, then I am going to spit it out!! Yep you heard me, spit-tooie!!! hehe Why? you ask.... well I made a turkey dinner last night and I could hardly wait to sit and devour the fixin's.  And low and behold, they didn't taste like I thought they would. I have noticed some of the foods I loved so much don't taste the same anymore. Waaaaa!  BUTT, I do know it has helped me not over eat and to stay away from these foods, just on taste alone. I hope I can keep this miracle up until I reach my goal and beyond. Don't you? lol

Now here is my promise...I am going to get past the 250's by the end of the year. And I am going to eat slow and with thought and control.  And I will post pictures here SOON!  ANNNND I will post more often! hehehe  Miss all my WW friends and love your support!! Thanks guys!!

*hugs* Quay

Oh for Pete's Sake!

Man, I am losing my mind!! I'm serious!  :) I am stuck in my house most of the day, and can't do anything on account of my knee. Knee replacement sucks! hehe For now it does!  I can only stand on my legs for 10 minutes at a time, and then I have to rest for 20 minutes. Geeez! Bla! Whine Whine Whine....  :D

Ok enuff' I suppose. lol  So in the weight loss department I am now down to 252!!! Woooo Hoooo  I haven't seen that in decades!  Joann (my daughter) took a picture of me on the sofa Halloween night and I actually looked small!! hehehe  Yippppeeee!   I am 100 pounds away from my goal.  Yowza!  It might take me another year but I will do it. I have too! I am in this to win this! ok..enuff'

Halloween came and went and I had candy, not a ton...just some! I am rather proud of myself and really glad I didn't buy any to tempt me either! hehe  So now we move towards Thanksgiving, the day of the trough!! Yep, the trough!!  We eat til' we burst then go back for more and do it all over again!  Can you believe it? Of course you can...admit it!  This year I am doing just what I did last year.  Eat slow and get full faster and then leave the table and visit with everyone instead of hanging around the food.  It will work! 

Alright I know this is dull this time, butt at least I wrote in it! hehe  Until next time I weigh in....eat slow people.

Candy Trail!

Ok so my Grand-daughter's school has there fundraiser chocolates in to be picked up. YEA! for her...but boo for me! Or so I thought. :/ I pickup Quaylyn from school everyday except Monday, and today was my day to pick her up. SO with map in hand I made my way into her cafeteria to witness, every table had 1000's of boxed chocolate, a sea of pure dark, milk and creamy chocolate. Ready to be claimed!!  Quaylyn was the top seller in her school (or dare I say her mother was the top seller) hehe  Anyway...I asked the lady who looked official and she asked which class and which teacher. I told her and then told her my grand-daughters name "Quaylyn" :D (proud grandma moment) lol  Then the official lady said "I knew you were going to say that, did you know she was our top seller here at school?" "WoW she is?" I replied  "Then off we go" says the official lady, "We have a cart for you!!!"  A CART!!!!! Oh Hellllll no!! I nearly crapped....(I know TMI, I did say I can get a little colorful here) hehe  So, then we proceeded to the pile on the table, which BTW took up most of the table! She told me to go pull my car around and then we could load it easier. So I did. I could hardly wait to get it home!  M-M-M-M-M right???? A big FAT WRONG! And I'll tell you why....

I actually thought, for a moment that I was going to throw caution to the wind and come home and have myself a chocolate frenzy until I went into a coma. BUTT instead I came home and had 4 pieces, 2 peanut butter and 2 chocolate covered caramels.  I know that is a lot for a diabetic but in actuality it is quite safe. BUTT the big thing was I got sick to my stomach after I ate them. I am even nauseous while I am typing this. I am not actually sure why, it might be that I am stressing a bit on the surgery and my stomach is upset on the other hand it just might be that I find chocolate disgusting and repulsive now!!  YA RIGHT!!  Well in keeping with the WW credo "Less is More" (I made that up) hehe

After all....Halloween is coming!! bwhahahahahaha

   

Sad but True

Well, I have had to quit going to weight watchers, for awhile. I can not afford the monthly payment. My brother was paying for me to go. BUTT, he said he can't afford it either. :(  BUTT, I am still on track, I have been weighing myself at home and I have gained back 2 pounds. So now I am working on getting those pounds off my body....AGAIN!!  Now more distressing news, sorta!

I am going into the hospital October 8th to have knee surgery, yep I am getting a new knee! The doctor said I have severe arthritis in both knees and no cushion under my joints. So bone against bone. Yikes! Anyway 6 weeks later I am back in the hospital having the other knee replaced!! It's scary, but exciting too!  When all is said and done, I will finally be able to go walking for my exercise!!!!!!  Whooo Hooo  So now I have a new lens in my right eye, so I can see better, and I will have 2 new knees so I can walk better. Which means I will be able to see thru brick walls and jump tall buildings in a single bound!! OMG! I will become the worlds first bionic Grandma! Woot Woot! I can hardly wait!!! lol

Alrighty I will be here more now that I can't go to weight watchers for awhile! I will need to see how all of you are progressing to help me stay on task.

SUPPORT...support is great, just like a great bra is! :D

Plodding Along

I feel like I am in slow motion... m-o-v-i-n-g-e-v-e-r-s-o-s-l-o-w-l-y!  Day after day I get on the scale, one pound down, then the next day one pound up. I'm thinking I would like to be a man!! They lose so darn fast, and steady!!  My brother already looks hot, even with no hair!! hehehe I can say that becuz' he doesn't do blogs. So he will never see mine! A_N_Y_W_A_Y.....

I am still motivated, just tired. However, I did go swimming twice yesterday. Did laps the first time! Played with grand kids the second time, which felt like I did laps! LOL  So I am stoked about that. My 1x clothes fit rather good lately. And that keeps me focused. I know this is going to take more time, and after all I have lost over 70 pounds, since I started this journey.  I must find some of my really super fat pictures and put them on here. That is if I have any. I may have said "Don't snap that picture" you know when that camera comes out you duck and cover. Like that blanket is going to make me look thinner! hehe

SOooo keep your chin up or your chins, which ever the case may be!!!  And keep plodding along!!

SO here is The Queen of fat pictures. This is when I was 336 pounds! Yikes!! Pretty sad eh?

Stress VS. Food

Sooooooooooo My weight loss is now a gain. Waaaaaa But I am not discouraged! Really..I'm not! :D  Why, you ask???  Well my autistic son will be moving out this Friday and I will be free from his stress and rotten attitude! So I will be able to ignore the junk food and the fatty food as well.  Now why is it that fatty food is so dang good? I DON'T KNOW!!! hehe I do know that is feels tasty and relaxing when eatin' For me anyway...

Oh and I haven't had time to grocery shop, that has been a real big issue.  Speaking of issue my bra's have gotten bigger!! Yep you heard me...BIGGER!!!!  I guess that is a sign I am losing weight, but at my age the weight disappears and all you have is empty socks!!  Eeewww SO what I have decided to do is roll them up like cinnamon rolls and call it a day!  Yummy! hehe

I'm still alive!! :D

Hello all you fellow fatties!! I am back with a vengeance!  LOL  I have been so busy with my Tupperware Business....that I haven't had time for anything, let alone eat and keep points!

The 4th

What does it mean to you? The 4th to me is family and friends...eating, and laughing, and poking fun at each other...the 4th also means Freedom to me, the Freedom to live in a country that has so many possibilities to make your life better. To make you and your family safe, to make you and your family happy.  And now all that is being threatened.  I am so greatful for my Founding Fathers who started this great nation and all that it has to offer.  Please pray for our Country to be safe from inside out!! And God bless the troops and the people in Congress so they can turn our great nation back to what it should be.  God Bless America!!
Eat Hardy Everyone! hehe

Fatty Fatty McButter Pants!

HI everyone,
  I am still around, and learning how to juggle my busy life! And having said that, the part I'm still learning about is eating on the run.  Dag-nab-it!  I have even stayed off my scale. BUTT...Staying off the scale has not worked. I have eaten like I don't have a weight problem.  You know...like some of those people that can eat an entire elephant and still only weigh 85 pounds. LOL  SO, I have gained back the 5.4 I lost, and then some.  I have eaten McDonalds, which is why I am McButter pants now!  And I am trying to find my "weigh" back to eating the plan like I was before.  HOWEVER......I am not discouraged!!  After all it has taken me a millennium to get this fat and it might take that much to get it off!!  Right?? Hmmmm :D  LOL

Ok so here is the scoop...Ahhhh crap I said scoop and that reminds I ate ice cream too! Seeeeeeeeee how hard this is?? :D  Ok I'll try again...here's the poop...(that's better) I will be at weight watchers lurking in the back so no one can see my McButter BUTT...hehe No I'm kidding, I will see ya all on Thursday!!

When all is said and done, I have to say Those McDonald McMuffins were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! lol

Hangs Head In Shame!

Ok...I'm finally here!  And I have drawn a complete blank as to why I have been MIA.  Oh wait a minute, I have been working!! Yep, working making money!!  I'd like to say I have been Working OUT but, I have slacked on that.  I have also gained 2.4 pounds back of my 5.4 pounds I lost the week before.  SO hence the hanging of my head in shame! LOL  I'm sure a lot of you know that juggling a job, family, chores, babysitting-grandkids, exercise, and weight watchers is a HUGE task!!  I wasn't this busy when I was raising my 5 kids!!!  Dang!!  Soooo I am beggin' all of you to hang in there with me, I am very new to this job thing. I have been a SAHM forever, and juggling all of this is exhausting!  Until later.... ciao

Yeah!!!!!

Ok...first I am still here!! 2nd, I am out of the 270's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I weighed in at the West Valley Center, BTW Kris teaches at!  And I lost 5.4 pounds!!! Woot Woot  So now I am 264!! I have not seen the 60's well, in forever!!!  I know you guys said it would happen, and it did.  So now I am going to push for the 250's!!!  I can't imagine being in the 250's....what a wild trip this is.  :D  I am feeling thinner, who'd a thunk that would happen! LOL
Ok, so what am I changing, hmmmm well I am changing my underwear daily! teehee I'll be serious now (maybe) I am doing some walking. I am also doing some stretches at night.  That's a lot for me considering I hate the whole sweating thing.  However, that being said. I am waiting for payday so I can pay for classes to the water aerobics! That I am actually looking forward too!
SO whats new in my life? Not a damn thing!!! LOL  Doing the same old same old!! Surviving mostly, just like everyone else is!  So now I am off to get things ready for a Tupperware party tonight. C-ya all next Thursday!

Owwww

Well, I've gone and done it now.  I walked 5 miles the other day. Well at least I think it was.  Ok what I mean to say is I walked for a solid 2-1/2 hours at our church service project!  My calves are killing me! :D My BUTT cheeks are tight as H E double toothpicks!! And I have to say, I am really excited!!! 

I had to set the lunch tables up so people could eat when they got back from doing the service projects. Also set up the food table. I walked slow, and walked to bring all the food out. Walked to tape paper down on the tables, walked to clean up!!  And I only sweated a little bit.  Not to bad I say!!  So today I have a totally trashed house to clean and I will be walking some more. I need tight everything!! Tight legs, tight boobs, tight glutes and tight arms. I  know this is just the beginning but, it is a start.  I have some light aerobics from a magazine, so I might try a few of those later on.  Maybe I can get use to the sweating, maybe? LOL

Alright, I am off to clean and probably sweat a little bitty!  :D  Thank goodness I have an extra tube of  antiperspirant...think I could put that all over my body so I don't sweat???? Think about it, it could work!! LOL :D

Trouble with a sofa!

Hi people...ever have trouble with a sofa? The kind that when you sit down you sink down inside of the monster eating cushion.  Your butt is gone, your knees are at your chest and you feel like a BIG FAT TUB -O-LARD!  Yep, you heard me...I have been on such a sofa.  And believe me it isn't a pretty picture.  Now I know how I have had to get off the sofa...usually a crane pulls me up.  But if a crane isn't available, I have to swallow my pride and rock my FAT BUTT back and forth, up and down, in hopes of making some sort of attempt to get out of the said monster. :D  When that doesn't work, I  swallow even more pride and have someone grab my arm and heave me out of my Myer..  Ohhh the shame I have lived with, the shame of not being able to lift my own arss up and out of a man eating sofa.  WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL  not no more!!  Today I was able to get up as if I was a 135 pound thin person!!!  SO I don't know what has changed, but I am so happy to be able to do this, on my own!!  Hallelujah!!  Just a little update to let all my diet buddies know I am on the mend!

I have these melt downs and then I get through licking my wounds and I am right back on top of things.  SO until later....keep your feet on the ground when seating on a swallowing sofa!!

Later, Quay

Feeling Better, I Think!!

You people are so kind.  And I have read every suggestion and all your comments 3 times!! :D  First off let me say this, I am not giving up...but I am still feeling defeated.  I have been so fat for so long it is hard to not get excited and expect instant results. And I know each and everyone of you have been there.  SO I know I am in good company!! And second I have followed the plan today and not got on my scale.  :D

3rd-ly I am having issues with my asthma today so I won't be coming to meeting tonight. Also our vehicle is broken.  And hubby is still working on it.  OK enuff' of the reasons/excuses.... I think I have a new plan ready.  I am going to slow down, catch my breath, and move forward.  I keep telling my self the longer it takes me to lose the chub, my skin will shrink back on my body. Lord knows I do not want to look like a flying squirrel with flaps at my side. In this case jiggly, fat that waves on my arms.  And of course there is the chub around the middle.  My hubby said he sees a difference and I want to believe him! :D  Just so you all know I have a really hard time with believing what people say.  I have to really work at it!!  And I am REALLY working at it! LOL

SO this Thursday and next Thursday I will be MIA. This week is the truck and asthma, next week I have to give a Tupperware demo.  And yes I am a Tupperware Consultant!  OK all my fellow chubber's....I am moving forward.  And hanging onto all your comments for dear life!!

Sorry for such a serious entry!! :D

MELT DOWN

I am down for the count!!  I can't believe I am still maintaining my weight in the 270's!! I am 2 shakes away from crying my eyes out and giving up!!  I do not know what I am doing wrong!  Bla!!!! I feel my self caving...

Update!

Ok, so I exercised a little this week.  No excuse's just was to embarrassed to do them. We live in a tiny little apartment and the only place to exercise is in the living room. And from there my son can see me blob about! :D That being said, I did manage to go for 2 walks and do some squats before I rolled over and died! :D  And I had to get on the scales...I just had too! I think I am obsessed with making sure I haven't gained a ton of weight.  Sounds weird I know.  But it keeps me in check.  Ok so I have updated you all on my exercise, and I probably should be wearing the cone of shame right about now!!! : /  LOL

SO another update is I am going to start water aerobics  after the 15th.  I have to wait until payday to be able to budget the money in for the classes.  And I am still to FAT to wear my new suit. :(  SO I have to wear my old one (which still looks good, BTW) But it is to large. SO I will bag and sag at water aerobics for a while until I get down to a size 20.  I have one more dress size to get there.  SO I figure the water aerobics should get me there pretty quickly! Don't you think so? :D   Ya I do too!


Now one more day until weigh in...I have done really good with the plan and I haven't cheated or over indulged in anything.  It helps to have not gone grocery shopping yet!! Bwahahaha  No really it helps! LOL :D  SO my scale weighs 2 pounds less than weight watchers so if my calculations are correct I should have lost 4-5 pounds.  Wooooohoooooo I guess I better not jump the gun...forget I said wooohooo LOL   SO until tomorrow night...hang tight and don't eat a bite! 

Awwww the Holiday!

Tell ya what...at our meeting last Thursday they talked about the big weekend.  And how to handle all the bbq's and salads and stuff.  The good ol' fattening stuff.  Well I'll tell you this has been the best weekend so far to date!!  We decided not to party this weekend, and I'll tell ya I have been so relaxed.  Usually my family gets together and we party til' the cows come home.  And guess who does all the prep work and cooking?  Yep me and my Mom.  Can you believe it?? Of course you can, you probably do the same thing.  So this weekend I am cleaning and relaxing, and maybe some yard work. I just don't know.  :D  


I think staying away from the goodies is going to be a piece of cake...ooops a piece of WW carrot snack cake! (2 points) LOL  3 cheers for relaxing...hip hip hooray! etc. etc. :D LOL  Have a bowl of potato salad for me people!!  

Me Exercise?

Ok...I am stuck in a hole. I am bouncing back and forth! You no, where you seem to stay in a range....oh crap what the heck....I am stuck between 270's and 269. After listening to today's meeting, I realized I have to really start exercising. I mean get serious. Stop making excuse's. In other words get up off my FAT arss and move which = sweating. I HAVE TO SWEAT!!! I can't do it, I really can't!! Actually I can I just don't want too. LOL

So, I told my BFF (since jr. high) that I had to get up and go! And I don't mean the bathroom!! So she suggested we do it together. She also said she needed to lose weight too! REALLY??? She is as thin as she was in Jr. High!! She'll say she isn't, but she is!! LOL Anyway we are going to swim, bike ride and do water aerobics! I want to go to the water aerobics class that has little old ladies and fellow fatties! No thin people that think they are FAT! Come on you secretly know what I'm talking about. LOL Soooooo People, here is my commitment "I swear to you I will do good all week, track my points, exercise (and sweat) and I WILL stay off my scale!! That darn thing plays mind games with ya! I do so much better when I make commitments here! I would hate to disappoint all my followers! LOL *holds hand up* I promise to follow the plan all week!! Their ya have it!

Oh BTW, I lost 1.8 pounds this time around. And I am now 269.4!! WOoo HOoo My hubby said I am really looking thinner. That made me feel so good tonight! So in the famous words of the lead singer in Aerosmith (Steven Tyler) "Goodnight people and don't forget to wear a rubber!!!!"
