Yup, you heard me right. I am officially down 15.5lbs when I weighed in this morning. It’s great to know that I’ve lost pounds because I never have in my entire life. I just hope that I’ll get down to 200lbs sometime early next year.

So now I weigh 283lbs. I know, I know…still a lot for someone by age, but I’m working hard on reducing that number.

Weird things happened…what are the odds?

Well, after venting out my frustrations, I decided to sit down and watch an episode of Oprah that I recorded but didn’t watch yet. It had the guy Dr. Oz on it, and low and behold…the episode was about weight loss. Weird how that happened since I don’t know what the episodes are about when I record them since my satellite automatically has it programmed to record.

Anyways…now that I’m thinking about it, another weird thing happened when I turned on the tv. When I turned on the tv, the channel was on the shopping network, and it was talking about weight loss products. That’s so weird because no one in my house watches the shopping network, yet the tv was left on that channel. What’s even weirder is that I was the last one to watch tv and I know for a fact I didn’t leave it on that channel! I don’t know about you, but I take things as symbols to something. In this case, a symbol for me to continue with my weight loss even though I have problems with my family. Check. That’s the only logically explanation in regards to these symbols. What are the odds that those two symbols happen right after I vent about getting off track and losing focus? Slim to none I think.

So here I am. A bright new morning and a new attitude. I decided to keep going with my weight loss and even weighed myself this morning. Somehow, I lost 4lbs since the last time I weighed myself, which was July 26 when I weighed 288lbs. Now I’m happy to report I’m down to 284lbs which is 14.5lbs lost since I first weighed in at 298.5lbs. WOOT!!!

I started this morning with a nice healthy breakfast consisting of a bowl of fresh strawberries, a bowl of Kellogg’s All Bran; Bran Flakes cereal, and a bottle of natural spring water. Yummy!! It definitely beats the eggo waffles with cream cheese that I’ve been having.

I’m looking forward on being back on track and seeing the numbers go down. GO ME!! lmao

Getting off track…

I feel as if I’m going off track with my weight loss effort. I just feel depressed over something I’m not even sure of. What’s worst is that it seems I don’t have my family’s support. I got a comment from my mother the other day that really felt like a thorn in my heart.

We were having supper (mom, dad, & me), and I just didn’t want to be bothered because they were complaining about my sister. So I was zoning out because I just wanted to eat and then leave. Then they try bringing me into the conversation and I responded, “Don’t bug me. I like to eat in peace. Pretend I’m not here. Pretend I’m invisible.” Those were pretty much my exact words. Then my mother responded with “You’re a big girl. You can’t be invisible.” I felt like getting up and taking off out of the house. I was so angry that she even said a comment like that because it hurts alot, especially coming from a loved one. Don’t you think I know I’m a big girl which is why I am trying to lose weight in the first place? Don’t they know how much it hurts when they say stupid comments like that?

So of course I turn to comfort food…big, big mistake. I didn’t even weigh myself for three days because I just felt like giving up. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t have the support I so desperately seek from my family. It just seems like….I dunno…I’m just so frustrated!
