A Case of the Fat Ass!

Yes, I said it.

Folks will make excuses, say it is Thyroid, Genetic Metabolism defects, YADA, YADA, YADA. Me, heck no.....MY FAULT, eating too DAMN much. Mucho has happen in the days I have been missing but I have had a breakthrough of sorts in my absence.

I can't speak for others about weight and how they handle it, I can only speak for myself. I am a type A personality, Over achieving, social butterfly, crazy-type personality that always tries to one up themselves in everything they do. CRAZY, yes, but people like myself we are hardwired like this & have no idea how to change. I think back to my College years, I was always an Honors Student, Double Major, Student Government President, Community Volunteer, Debate Champion that hardly stopped. NOW, I don't even exercise. WHAT happened to ME and what happened to the pride I took in my body? I used to monitor my portions and work out daily? What happened to my Flat tummy and a dress size I could be comfy with? NOW, I have excess JUNK in the TRUNK and oh, dare I mention the dress size. Hey, it IS all about attitude BUT I want to make a change and I want to LOSE some of me.

That being said....I have been eating like CRAZY with Friends and Family this Holiday LONG weekends which started for me on Thursday. Starting Monday I am back on the WAGON. I will post how I am faring. I am joining a weight loss challenge at work to make it more plausible that I will stick with it....maybe. We PUBLICLY weigh in together on Monday. I won't HIDE my truth...I am 5'3 and I just weighed in at 195. YES, that is my weight. At my height, I look like I weigh even more.....shorties like myself look even heavier...no where for it to go.

Wish me LUCK everyone!

Now, on to my NEXT happening.....I am actively dating again. I have been doing ALOT of thinking and I want to Date and have some fun again for a bit. I have in the last 2 years turned down dates and I don't know why. Because I can't take a chance of finding love again & that fact confusing my sperm donor plans? What the hell? If I find love WHY would I need a sperm donor anyway, IF my partners sperm count is normal. I counsel others about getting past THEIR Fears and here I am harbouring my own. Well, I am taking some time to NOT think about TTC or Donor sperm and I am focusing on me (rare) and increasing my social network again. The great news is that DONORS will always be here for me if I need them. Right now, I want to get healthier physically and have a little fun. Who knows what may happen next.....

YES, I will still post, YES, I still want a baby(more than ANYTHING) but I know NOTHING will happen that is not in GOD's Plan for me. No matter what I want, God's plan is the only truth that will happen. I could do 10 IVF cycles and if I am not meant to have a viable biological pregnancy it will NOT happen, no matter how I sacrifice, skip on bills, take relationships for granted, etc. Knowing that in my heart makes it easier for me to take a short break. I know I am not leaving the path BUT maybe getting me on another one that will still yield the desired results.

YES, I will still post on my buddies Blogs and cheerlead with ALL my might.

Thanks for hanging in there and reading this long, crazy post! I will keep you posted and maybe I will start a Sunday night weigh-in update.:)

I empathize with you so much! I used to pride myself on my "will of iron!" Where did it go? Does it slowly weaken as we age? Does life just make us so tired we don't have it any more? I do know one thing, TV has a lot to do with not exercising. I don't have one and I'm super happy. I get my news online (now I have to make sure I'm not online too much) and I watch DVDs when I want to - NO commercials!

I'll be rooting you on in your weight-loss quest. Keep healthy and fit. Remember that old saying, "If you don't have your health, you don't have anything."

Hey, Candi - glad you're taking care of yourself! And best of luck with the weight challenge. Sometimes that little extra motivation and teamwork is just what you need! I finally just started back at the gym after about two months off. I feel better already. Enjoy the boys! And good luck in all you do.
