Today is the day that I begin again. I deleted my previous weight loss blog cause I was so disgusted with myself. I am hoping that this blog will signal a new beginning of me getting back to where I was. Back in Feb 2010 I was at 233 pounds. That is the lowest weight I have been at in 16 years. When I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter back in 1995 and had gained 40 pounds, I was under 233. I just got really off track . I was working out twice a day and eating 1200 calories a day.

This was working very well for me. I was even eating out and cheating a lot but I was still losing weight. I lost 53 pounds in 5 months. I purchased my first home in Feb 2010 and was super stressed out and just stopped doing all the things that were working for me. Slowly but surely the weight crept back on. I tend to eat my feelings and I was going thru some deeply personal things this past December and January and I ate out of control.

So I stepped on the scale for the first time in weeks and I was not surprised to see how heavy I was once again. So this morning I worked out using my Leslie Sansone walk for fitness video. I plan to work out again this evening when I get off of work . I also plan on counting my calories again. I don't think I will do 1200 but probably like 1600 and work my way down to 1200. I hope that this time I can do it, not just for 5 months but for the rest of my life.

  1. Don't be disgusted with yourself! It happens, and now you're doing something about it. I've been there. Like 3 yrs ago, I was 197 and joined Weight Watchers, lost 20 lbs... and then stopped and gained 70 lbs in 2 yrs! I am definitely an emotional eater too.

    I just started my blog too, so we should keep each other accountable!
