Day 5 of 42.

Breaking point:

So today I woke up feeling pretty good. Today is the fifth day of me transitioning in to a "Better Me". A couple of challenges have already come up. The first one started yesterday around 2:00pm. i road my bike to a meeting down town and was rushed bombed with sweats and chills. I felt sooo sick. I have learned a lot from my old job and one thing I will never forget is that people don't want to hear your problems they have their own agenda. I toughed it through my meeting and it actually went well.(I'll update on that later) I road my bike home with the tormenting feeling that I was going to puke. And at that moment all my diet goals went right out the window. I wanted to eat! Bread, Butter,Rice,Nachos! ( Can ya tell I'm a little Carb deprived) But I know that those small slips will just put me back where I started if not worse.

Back to this morning waking up, I 'm not sure if it was the cat shit that fell on me when I was cleaning the litter of the fact the I slammed my pinkie finger in the door on my way in my house. I was sooo upset . Instead of heading to the gym after doing some work around the house I felt like crap. I just wanted to hide in my house and eat. What came to mind: NACHOS! Mmmm that hot melted cheese smothered over homemade crunchy tortilla chips. Mmmm mmm good. F*@k That! That is what I alawys run to to solve my worries and it just gets me into more trouble. *sigh* This is pretty tough but I am determined!!!

Please leave a comment , I could really use some shared experiences around this frustration with food.

42days!

I have pretty much been dieting on and off for the past 9 years! Holy crap! It just hit me how long I have embarked on this battle. And let me tell you this has been a battle of hell. The hard part has really been the never ending battle that goes on in my head with Me, Myself and I. In the last six months I have been following a couple of blogs that have really inspired me. I would much rather look to REAL people like these bloggers Bitch Cakes and Ex Hot Girl, rather than the constant in your face celeb.

Recently reading BitchCakes blog has made me think. I can continue to have days where I indulge on a donut, large pepperoni pizza, nachos and on and on. Or I can learn to eat better everyday. Eating a donut here and there or shall I say I dozen donuts here and there and continue to expand. To be honest the problem isn't this ever ending growth that my body has found . The problems lie within me. When I am heavier than I would like to be I have really stopped living. I hardly leave my house anymore, I do not allow for my self to have close relationships with anyone outside of my husband, I am not creative, and thus I want to feed the void that I have created with more FOOD!

So here I find myself today three days into a 42 day weight loss. I am scared to put this out in the world. I am scared because I have failed many many times in the past. I am most scared of fighting that battle in my head again. It really is awful what I can and have done to myself when I "Fail".So I have decided that not only do I need to diet and exercise during these next 42days but I also need to keep up on my blog and share this with whomever reads this.

On that note I wanted to share that I have decided not to share this blog with anyone who is currently in my life including my husband. The reason for this is to be able to open up completely and have no worries of scaring people away. In my past I have been honest with people about my depression and they have left me. When I am feeling good it is super contagious and people want to be around me. Whenever I have openned up about my battle with depression people have straight up disappeared. SO that's the truth and here I am writing to anyone who stumbles upon this blog.

Most importantly I am blogging for me!!!

Goals:

*To post weekly weight progress.

*Track my daily food intake.(food journal)

*Track the Cals Burned and any daily physical activity.

*Add three positive things about myself along with my food journal)

Okee bye for now!
