IF I LOOK BACK AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR

My eating was deadly.. In the mornings I would stop at Panera Bread and pick up one either Crunchy Cinnamon Bagel or Asiago Cheese bagel or a Blueberry bagel or sometimes 2 bagels plus .. I would get a cheese danish and a cookie.. or I would get a scone instead of the cookie or a pull apart muffin. Either way several times a week I would come to work loaded with One or 2 bagels that i would either eat plain or with hazel nut cream cheese then i would eat the cheese danish and or cookie or scone or whatever else I brought.. then I would go out to lunch.. Pizza, or to this little place called Wrights Dairy that had a small wonderful lunches.. and those are not that bad.. but every day I went there I would get full fat 2 scoops of some icecream.. it was the only full fat icecream I could eat with out getting sick.. I would then go back to work .. surely I had some type of something in the afternoon.. come home eat dinner and start again the next day.. If I was not doing a Panera run I would stop at the quick mart or gas station and pick up buddy bars, candy bars, maybe chips.. or something.. I would often do run throughs there for icecream bars chocolate ecliars icecream bars.. I would eat this food in quick order.. and I simply did not care... now perhaps to some of you that does not sound like a lot of food.. and to some of you that sounds like a gross amount of food.. but keep this in mind.. for those of you who think that was not eating a lot at one sitting or during the day... 2 things.. I am 4 ft 11 inches tall.. I ate high calorie high fat food. it put me at 211.5 pounds at my heavest. so thats a lot of weight for my short body.. the good thing for me is that I am not petite just short.. so I have a larger bone structure.. hence the higher goal weight.. if I got down to under 110 pounds with my bone size I would look terrible. 132 does not make me perfect.. but its what I feel is doable in the long run..

Today I am proud of myself.. for although my eating may not be perfect... I am a far sight better than I was last year at this time.. I weigh about 183 today .. last year I was 211.5 possibly more at that time.

I promise each of you.. If I can make these changes you can too.. no matter how bad you feel right this second or how discouraged or down .. or anything.. I promise you.. it can be done.. Watch me.. I will do it... and so will you..

HERE IS TO US!!!

WISH ME WELL

WISH YOU WELL TOO

You have made soooo MANY positive changes since last year and that in itself is something to be HUGELY proud of.

I also love your list of aims for the year 2008. They all sound like very positive AND achievable aims!!
