Spring Cleaning
So it’s Spring, and I’m 40. I haven’t even thought about Weight Watchers for months, though I do keep paying them because I keep thinking somehow it’ll work without me doing anything. Sadly for my waist, this isn’t the case.
Last month, my mom had a heart attack. I’ve often repeated the axiom that first God whispers in your ear, then he taps you on the shoulder, then he hits you with a brick; don’t wait for a brick. Well, for my mom this was a brick and for me it was a hard tap on the shoulder. Time to get my act together.

Gagging on Spinach: The First Day of the Rest of My Life
Literally, because of my lifestyle change, it is the first day of the rest of my life. I’ve read the books. I’ve logged onto websites. I’ve counted my points. I’ve excercised. I’ve counted my points again. I’ve breastfed children because THAT burns 500 calories a day. I’ve excercised more and yet I’ve found myself at 229 pounds. How could this be? I’m the girl with everything. I’ve got a wonderful husband, a great career, and two darling children. I should be happy, but I’m not. I look at myself in the mirror and I ask myself, “Who is the cute fat girl?” I’m admitting today that I have an eating disorder. How did I realize this? Let me tell you.
I look at my weight watchers books that I’ve read soo many times and I see, again, how many fruits and veggies I get. I also got this new wonderful cookbook from my favorite sister in law which talks about different veggies, how to make them, and what the benefits are of eating these new pureed veggies. So here I am … I’m going to eat plain spinach. I know its good for me, but it doesnt taste that well. I eat it anyway….. and I gag but I continue eating because its supposed to be good for me. That my frineds is an eating disorder. So today.. I admit it and I own it….. Its the only thing I own. LOL.

Battle Royale with Cheese…or I Forgot My Lunch
It’s well-past lunchtime on a Wednesday and I have forgotten to bring my lunch. I do a quick mental scan of my options…Wendy’s? Long John Silver’s? Burger King? Sundry other fast food choices a little further down the street…I’m just hungry. I don’t want to spend time trying to figure out what I CAN eat at one of these places, and I know when I go through the drive thru I’m going to smell fries and get all angry because I can’t just eat what I want.

It’s Time Again
Hey, I’ve been gone for a while, and so has the site. Someone hacked me, and I sabotaged myself. But both have been repaired and it’s time to get back down to business.
This time around, we’ll focus on the personal stuff, cool recipes, low point junk food (helloooo, I love the junk food it’ll stick around!) and I guess whatever else is on our minds.
So, hopefully you’ll learn something and get some inspiration, but you should at least be somewhat entertained by our struggles as we head down the weight loss path again!
