What the hell?

Hey Cookie,

You right it ain't CUTE..... it's down right UGLY!!!!!  I am so glad you posted

this though. I've been wondering where you were with the protien train. 

Girl, back then I was on the train 1 week every month (and Atkins the other

weeks) and the weight came off.


But now I'm right there in the same boat too. I'm up about 45 lbs from my lowest

weight and I am embarrassed and miserable in my clothes.  I'm spending next

week in Miami and really not excited about it.  Looking like a sausage don't inspire me

much but I ain't buying NOTHING new ...... Like Lee said, that's my punishment, wearing 

these too little clothes. lol 


You know I lost a total of 270 lbs and I am grateful that I haven't gained even more

back but non the less .... I gotta get back on track for my health and because I

don't want to abuse  the surgery that saved my life.


Supporting each other is major important!  That's how I was able to do so well the

first time around, I gave and received support.   

Llong story short ..... I'm in like Flynn!  Let's do this!!!!

  

I guess I need to throw in my hat too. I used to stay motivated with all the challenges that Sargent Cookie had us do and I was proud of myself. But after I broke my leg, I have not been the same. My leg throbs and swells everyday.

Since that time I have gained 40lbs and am not proud of it. Plus its extra hot here in Texas and I can't go outside and walk like I used to.

I just went back to Detroit last week and my mom gave me some pain pills. They helped for a minute, but I do not want to get addicted to them. So hench, I stay in pain.

I need to do something quick. My bf gets tired of me always talking about my weight and how big I have gotten. He keeps saying I am fine, but I don't feel fine.

And don't even mention not sleeping. I take tylenol pm and that crap don't work no more, cuz I take them all the time. So when I get up at night, it's a cookie here, a donut there, a few sticks of licorice and maybe some skittles.

If anyone can come up with a motivational and nutritional plan of attack, I will be on it.

Let me throw myself in the mix.....I lost the 20lbs that I gained during pregnancy, but 25 lbs came right back.  My problem is:  2 kids is a LOT harder than one.  By the time we get home, I'm so tired it's just easier to grab take-out than cook.  Exercise?  I wish....just doesn't seem like enough time in the day to get it done.

I know that I need to find a happy medium....hopefully sooner than later, because it's not just me at risk.  Baby girl is gaining too, we're not able to shop in the girl's section of stores anymore.  We're in the juniors.

Hey Cookie, I have gained 15 lbs. this winter, I stopped working out, snacked, and I let stress back into my life, and I stopped checking into the one place that understood me and that would support me...OH/BAF!

This site and the people on here are the ones that helped me in the begining of my journey to getting down to 140 lbs. and I just kicked it to the curb and I got too comfortable.

So I'm going to start checking in again, communicating with like minded folks, working out, getting rid of the stress, and believing in the "No Return Zone".

I got yo back Gurl!!
