I noticed today, that I just could not stand still. I danced in the shower, I did Zumba at 6 am, I danced and beebopped all day at work. I couldn't stop moving. Yesterday I did a massive clean on the house. I just keep on moving and I just have more and more energy each time. I am really loving this, and enjoying the weight loss. I will be happy when I break the 300 lb mark and go under. For now, I am good right here. Next week I am sure to be under the mark.

Why so many of us fail at losing weight!

22 Reasons You Might Be Fat Forever. 


You are still looking for a quick and easy solution to weight loss. 
You think that diet and exercise are the only essential factors involved in weight loss. 
You have not identified the psychological reasons that drive your eating patterns. 
You have not learned to manage or heal the psychological reasons that drive your eating patterns. 
You have a fear of or resistance to growing up and becoming a full adult. 
You use food as a reward or a treat after any or all stressful events. 
You think you can lose weight without making exercise a regular part of your day, every day. 
You think you can lose weight by doing it “your way.” 
You expect to lose weight without making significant lifestyle changes. 
You refuse to learn to become a good receiver as well as a good giver. 
You have never learned to be effectively and appropriately assertive. 
You have not learned to express your anger in a healthy, honest fashion. 
You have not learned to be self-nurturing except with food. 
You are excessively self-critical. 
You refuse to take responsibility for your life. 
You resist learning to love yourself. 
You resist learning to love your body before it is thin. 
You have not faced your inner fears of being thin. 
You are certain that spirituality (a connection to a force greater than you) is irrelevant to weight loss. 
You think you can lose significant weight without the support of others. 
You have deep emotional wounds that you refuse to explore and heal. 
You are not prepared to have weight be an issue that you will have to face each and every day for the rest of your life. 
OK, now you have some incredibly important information about yourself and the things that are blocking your weight loss. You now have a choice. You can get depressed and go into avoidance or denial, or you can choose to make a renewed and informed commitment to your growth and well-being. The decision you make could change your life and your body for good!

So Sorry

I am soooo sorry to anyone that was committed to reading me and did so, and then got no more for weeks. I have been so committed to my diet, and other life changes that I have not been able to make it back to post.

So today March 21, 2012, I am weighing in at around 40 lbs down from my start weight.

Weight: 301 lbs

I have started doing Zumba, and it feels great. I have found some wonderful bits of information and things to add to my journey from fat to fabulous.

I would just like to add, to anyone that thinks my weight is just melting off, and I am on some easy quick fix diet, that is soooo not the case. I am a committed person. I am making life changes that are reasonable and within my ability to maintain, so that my weight will stay off. I hate yo yo dieting, and promised myself I would never do that, and I will not. I am working my butt off, to make my butt smaller and the rest of me at the same time.

I hope you will all come back to join me.
