I took a big step last year. Actually a giant step. I joined Weight Watchers. I was excited. I knew I was going to be the perfect little weight watcher you ever did see. I just new that I would be able to get down to at lease 200 lbs by the years end. I was going […]

Gastric Bypass Surgery
Well, the decison has been made — I’m not going to have the surgery(for now). Those damn things are expensive. The entire process takes about 6 months, but they nickle and dime you all along the way. I was naive to think that all the prep work that has to be done would be totaled […]
It’s Time to Get Back Now!!!!!!!!
I was looking through the Blogosphere when I stumbled on Psych Centerals list of favorite blogs in 2008. I was very proud to be one of the winners. I am still struggling with the meds and definately my weight. I’m here and I’m back (please don’t count the number of times I said that). I’m […]
OMG, My Weight. I must hang my head shame
I joined weight watchers several months ago, Friends kept telling me that it’s a great program. Yeah, Weight Watchers is the one that you have to track the number of points in a day. I thought, “this will be easy. I’m happy I can eat whatever I want, I just have to measure the ingredients […]
The Hardest Pound I Ever Worked Off
My first week on Weight Watchers has passed. I converted the fats, fiber and calories into points. I logged every point in my tracker. I ate my veggies, ate small servings in general..and so on. I marched up to the scale at the weight watchers meeting with no fear. I was ready to boast about […]
Time for a Do-Over
DAMN! I’ve gained weight again, dammit! I guess I should be happy, dammit, because I’m still 10 pounds less than when I started. But dammit, I feel like I’m starting fresh all over again,Damn! Damn! Damn! Now that I’m done with my tantrum, let’s look on the bright side: As of this past Friday, I […]
The Only Thing That’s Constant is Change
I like “change for the sake of change”. That’s what a former employer of mine told me. It was before I was diagnosed as bipolar so I’m certain she was right. Promoting change is perceived as one of my faults or assets, depending on who you ask and what day it is. Living up to […]
Time For Some Updates
Exercise: The last time I posted my weight, I had lost some weight and had reached a plateau and was struggling to lose 2 more pounds as a mini goal. I haven’t been on a scale since then and for good reason. I haven’t taken a good healthy walk since returning from my vacation a […]
Day One.
Sitting and Starbucks in Omaha right now having a delicious scone. Day One: The trip was fabulous. The last time I flew I had to get one of those embarrasing extensions for my seat belt. This time I wasn’t even close to needing one. Woooo Hoooo! Those of you who keep telling me to stop […]
Like A Pig To The Trough
When Maurice and I arrived a few people were standing around the table where hors d’oeuvres were being served. We skipped lunch, so we were relieved there was a little to eat. I couldn’t believe the grilled vegetables. Grilled asparagus, onions, peppers, carrots, eggplant – each and every one of them tasted as wonderful as […]
