Christmas is just about over! There is so much preparation for the big day, and then it is over sooo quickly! I had a good day, but feel somewhat let down. The holidays always leave me feeling this way. Not sure why-maybe I have big expectations. My grown son got me some smelly good stuff for my house, and the cutest Santa Clause tin filled with Russell Stover chocolates!!!!! He knows I am on a diet, so I am not sure why he would have done that??? He knows me I guess, and so I know he did it to be nice. I will be taking it to work tomorrow for the office staff to enjoy. My other son filled a basket full of nice things, but one of the things was a huge rice krispy treat in the shape of a Christmas tree, decorated with chocolate!!!! UGH!!! Not even going to open that sucker!!! I just cant have that stuff in my house. For me having that stuff here would be the same as if you brought alcohol in to an alcoholic’s house. I can NOT be trusted with it!!

 Looking forward to getting back on track tomorrow!

I do want to add here, that no one noticed or said anything about my weight loss. No one even asked about it!!!!!!! Really makes me mad/sad. Maybe they think I have fallen off the wagon (since I was eating regular today) (I did have my bottle of water-should have been a clue !!!!), and don’t want to bring up a sore subject?? I don’t know. I can tell that I have lost weight, and I see myself every day….can they not tell? What is the deal? I will say that I am not wearing the most flattering clothes-maybe that is it. My pants are kinda baggy-havent bought anything new yet….no new sizes. But still I would think it would be worthy of my Mom or my sister to mention. This is important, and the support and recognition from my family would be nice.  I do know that ultimately I am doing this for me..for my health and my life!!! If I know the truth and the progress, that is all that should matter. I think I just felt like the fat one today, and I didn’t like feeling this way. My Mom and sister are both normal size.  I did think to myself this morning…next year they wont recognize me! I am just feeling sorry for myself, and I am sorry if this brings anyone down on such a special day.

Looking forward….I am gonna make January my best month yet!!!! I am going to strive for super results. Wanna kick it up a notch! It’s funny because soon loosing weight will be all the rage-on tv, sale adds, radio, and specials for gym memberships. Everyone will be making their New Years resolutions…..most of those will be to loose weight, which will last for about a month. We are all soo lucky to be here. We have already made our decision to loose weight. We don’t have to make that resolution!!! YAY! We are already on that path. I am not sure what resolution I will make-need some time to think on that one.

Hope you all had a wonderful day! If you ate to much, or indulged in goodies-tomorrow it’s back on the healthy train! Take care friends, and much love to you all!!! Thanks for lisening!

Hey Buddies! I have a question and would like some advice. I am thinking about trying the Sacred Heart diet. I have thought about this since I joined Buddyslim. Ya know, the allure of something magical. I would like to know if anyone has tried this approach. I was even thinking about doing it for part of the week, and coupeling it with my regular restricted diet. Would really like to  jump start some more loss. What do you guys think? I have written down the ingredients and am heading to the grocery store today. I just want to see and feel substancial weight loss. I feel like I should have lost more weight by now too. When I weighed yesterday I weighed in at 245, so that is 15 #’s lost since joining here. I am an every morning weigher, and this morning when I weighed it was about 247!!!! So….what is official is that I have FOR SURE lost 10#’s, but it is teetering around the 245-247 range. I just feel frustrated. You should see me when I weigh myself…..I step ever so carefully on that sucker-look-step off-step back on..carefully. It soooo dictates me. When I saw the 245 yesterday, I saw it twice and ran with it. Quickly checked in and reported my weight!!! My day was made. This morning-not so much. Dont even suggest not weighing every day-not gonna happen-I got to be honest!! Dont get me wrong. I am staying focused and looking for the long term payoff. I guess at the same time I dont want it to take this long. :(  I guess what I am saying is that I feel like I should see be seeing better results considering the changes I have made. One of my goals this week is to push myself through the exercise. I dont think I have been doing enough. I am still at a weight that makes me “poop out” quickly. I think about those Biggest Looser people, and how they push-push themselves (with some cracking of the whip, aka Bob & Jillian!), and realize I need to do that too. I am easy on myself.

Anyways, any thoughts on this diet?? Hope everyone is having a good day and enjoying the weekend. Take care!!! 

Love ya ALL!! ~Renee
