7.10.06 Nothing to do

Ok so I am here at work with nothing to do. I called the boss to see if I could go home but he still has not called back.

I guess I will catch you all up on my life!

Things are going pretty well for me. I am working at the weightloss but having no luck cause I am not working hard enough. I know that if I want to lose weight I need to be devoted but sometimes you just need the bad bad food that tastes so so so so good.

My name is Christina and I am 33. I am Debbie and Michelles cousin from NH. I live in a nice house in a great neighbor hood for kids with my husband and 2 boys. Drake is 4 and Gabriel is 1.5yrs old.

I sell Tupperware for fun. I love all the free goodies that I get. My husband on the other hand is starting his own business for real, not so much for the fun of it!! I am really happy for him, I know that if he puts his mind to it he will make it work.

I don't know what else that you would like to know about me. I guess I could let you all know that I never follow through with anything and that is why I am having a hard time with the weight loss thing!! I really want to lose weight but I seem to quit before I should.

Well if you would like to know anything else please send me a comment and I will get back to you.

Talk to you all soon! I will still keep you posted on the weight loss as it happens!

I think you are being unfair to yourself. You follow through with a lot of things, you are just having a tough time with this one. Weight loss is one of the hardest things to do, because food is something we HAVE to eat. Smoking? You can quit, and never pick up. Alcohol, just say no. But food, ah, food is something that you can't quit. So you have to regulate. And that really really hard if in all other aspects of your life you are always "being good". I'm good all day. I don't smoke, I work hard, I save money, I smile at the elderly, the homeless guy gets a buck - so what's my reward? A big ol cookie. I know it's not the same, at all, and I don't understand your feelings on the subject, but I understand MY feelings and the last several months have been really hard. I have gained 14 pounds in 3 years. I went from a 4 to an 8. Now believe me, I realize that an 8 is a goal for many many people - but it's hard for me. To reach into the closet and see hundreds of dollars worth of clothes that I can't put on, to realize that the clothes in my NEW size don't look as good b/c I can't wear the same styles that I could before so I have no idea how to shop, and to feel so ashamed of the cellulite on the front of my legs that I had a HUGE fight with Doug when all he wanted to do was visit his friends and go to the beach and all I could feel was that I haven't bought a swimsuit since 1997 and the 3 I have are cutting off my circulation. So I started weight watchers too because I was INSPIRED by the fact that you lost 2 pounds. I thought if Chrissy is commited to doing it, I am going to too.

A wise man once said "Eat well, stay fit ... die anyway".

Flippant yes, but beating yourself up isn't healthy either. I go back and forth on this personally because we have a really lousy family health history (both of my folks died young). The lazy angel on one shoulder says "why bother, you have bad genes and no chance regardless, live it up!" while the gym-nazi on the other replies "you don't have to be like them, you can change your destiny".

Whatever: I go to the gym because I sleep better when I do, I try to eat well most days and don't smoke. So while my body is hardly a temple, and I'll never be as skinny as I was when I was 22 I'm healthy, happy and all done trying to be something I'm not. So baby steps my dear - celebrate your successes and don't regret if you slide or if it takes longer than you want. I'm sure no one is judging you as harshly as you judge yourself.
