I think about this blog and my readers all the time. It has been nine days since I last posted and so much has happened. I wanted to blog it all, but don't get the chance. It has been blogged in my brain, even with photos.
In the last week, I have lost and gained two pounds. I got down to 226.5 (that is 119.5 pounds gone), but the scary scale is screaming 229 at me today. Is it the Girl Scout cookies I have been sneaking in? I know, I know, I posted back in November that sugar is evil, however it still has a hold on me. Especially Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies and a glass of milk. I will eat three with the milk and then have to lie down to let the sugar dumping coma go away. Is it really worth the stupid ass cookie?!? Apparently not, I have two pounds to show for my endeavors.
And Hershey kisses. Little morsels of chocolate in controlled portions. But after six or seven, I might as well have eaten a damn chocolate bar.
It seems everything is revolved around food, candy or beer! We had Halloween (candy), Thanksgiving (turkey and mashed potatoes), Christmas (cookies and EVERYTHING else that goes along with it), and Valentine's Day (candy). We are facing St Patrick's Day (corned beef and cabbage and BEER) and Easter (ham and CANDY!). And don't think I am not going to eat my portion of greasy-ass corned beef brisket with soggy, greasy cabbage. Screw the Weight Watchers lighter recipe, I am going for the real deal. That meal gets cooked once a year (like Thanksgiving and Easter) and I am gonna enjoy it. But I am too chicken to drink the beer. I admit I have a sip every once and again, but I have yet to consume more than a tablespoons worth. That reminds me.....CINCO DE MAYO (cerveza!)!! Then there is Mother's Day (brunch) and Father's Day (BBQ). Fourth of July (more BBQ and more beer). And that is not including all the birthday parties (cake) and weddings (food and cake) and baby/bridal showers (cake) and other jubilees that get thrown our way.
I went to church on Sunday. Yes, I went in the building and it didn't crash around my ears. I wore a dress I haven't seen since the late 90's (Why do I hold onto this shit?) and got rave reviews. Even the other fat lady in church who is also currently losing weight had to stop and complement me. I don't know what she is doing to lose weight, but it is working--props to her. Oh, you wanna see a picture of my old out of date dress?
And this is the green dress I am wearing to the in-law baby shower next week. I hope I knock their socks off. I haven't seen them since Christmas.
And here are some before and after shots. I cannot believe I was as huge (and UNHAPPY!) as I was.

Last, but not least.....I AM TOO SMALL FOR CATHERINE'S! Catherine's is a chain of LARGE SIZE clothing for women. I went in to see if they had anything cute and everything was too big. Darn it. LMAO. Buh-Bye Catherine, Hello MACYS!

You are beautiful. I love your hair, and that green dress is slammin' on you. Now go throw away the cookies and kisses!
LOVE LOVE LOVE you in that green dress! Looking good!
Hello!

Well, I'm new here so take it for what it's worth...
1) The Cookies, I LOVE THE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES ! ! ! (They go great with beer!)
2) The church... I'm always amazed when I walk into one and don't burst into flames... I'm not exactly sure why...
3) The Dress... It's not so much what you wear as the way you wear it. As long as you aren't thinking its the end of creation because you wear that dress you'll be ok. You'd be amazed how a smile can make the ugliest clothing somehow cute...
4) AS for your weightloss... Good luck, you have my admiration for making such an effort. I aplaud you.
Thanks for sharing
Green dress-fabulous! Nineties dress-get rid of it! Now take your ass over to Victoria's secret and buy a good bra!!!! And splurge on a cute pair of shoes!!!! Go to the Mac counter or drop into Sephora and buy some yummy new makeup and skincare products...you'll forget all about those yucky cookies and chocolates!!!! You know what suprises me about that stuff and you...I know you have a very sophisticated palate (thanks to your hubby who has turned you into somewhat of a foodie)...and REALLY, girl scout cookies and hershey's kisses are not what I would consider QUALITY treats...they are just not that good. Stop keeping those candies out in plain sight, in candy dishes in your house...they get me every time I come over too, because they're just sitting there as a temptation...switch it up and put out wasabi peas instead...lol.
