That is how I'm feeling right now. For more than a while actually. Am I supposed to give in to the notion that when you get older you get fatter? Am I supposed to lose the battle and just give in and buy bigger clothes? Do I say forget it and just say, "well I just have to accept it and deal with it". I think not. I am not the one for "settling". I am not. I wonder how many overweight, obese humans got that way. I assume the obvious which in my mind would be overeating. How do you just say ok I will just buy a bigger size and then bigger and bigger? I can't fathom the thought of folks truly being happy obese. It is hard for me to look in the mirror and think to myself that I am at a weight where I am happy. For the most part growing up I was fairly thin. Not skinny but sorta slim. High school hit and I thinned out some more along with my height. I am fortunate to be the height I am so help balance out the weight. I refuse to accept this current weight. I am at my heaviest and I will not allow myself to get bigger. I was doing good with the strip aerobics until I realized that the chick was money hungry. That is another story in it's own. So I am not working out. Partly because I lost the motivation and my husband telling me I am not fat. I appreciate his comments but it means nothing if I am pleased with my own looks.
Thing is, I can do it. I've done it before. It's just a matter of motivation. Looking great on the beach is motivation. Being able to go into the store and find the cutest little number in your size is motivation. Living an overall healthy life is motivation. I always thought those New Year's resolutions of weight loss to be a waste because not many folks actually stick with it. However, I am determined to get this weight off of me. My goal is a minimum of 30 pounds. I will continue to buy shoes and other accessories but will not spend a lot of money on clothes. Not until I am at my desired weight. Not being to find clothes to put on to go out is a big motivation.
Wish me luck. I will start this endeavor January 1st. My birthday is the 31st so I would really love to make some progress by then. The Weight Watchers Point system seem to do justice the last time a attempted to lose weight so I think I will do a modified version of it along with diligent work out routines. I will keep you all updated on my progress and pictures.

First of all, I have to say that I'm not obsessed with your blog. No, I'm not. I'm just bored on vacation. Yeah, that's it. :-/
Feeling this post. Yeah, I don't see how one could accept gaining weight. It's something that you really have to face when your clothes start getting too small. It's depressing when those pants that used to fit perfectly are now digging into your stomach.
Yeah, I was smaller as a youngster also, I didn't start gaining weight until college. I have a friend that says she's always been overweight, so she doesn't believe she can really be smaller.
Yeah, I'm feeling you on the hubby comments. It's nice that the hubby says that you're not fat, and still thinks you're sexy, but if you feel like a fattie (you meaning me, of course), that's what matters.
Weight Watchers is good, it worked for me in the past also. I have 25 lbs to lose now, and this time I'm just writing down what I eat every day, and trying to keep it within a certain amount of calories. It's only been 3 weeks so far, and I've lost 5 lbs, which I'm thrilled about.
Awww, no more strip aerobics? What else do you like to do to work out? Walking or jogging? Weight lifting? TaeBo? I do well with TaeBo and classes at the gym, but I haven't been doing anything since my daughter was born. I can't use her as an excuse, though, I want to be an example of health for her.
Good luck on your weight loss. I know you can do it!
LMAO you are so crazy. Hey I enjoy reading your comments. Like you, I like doing classes. Machines bore the hell out of me so classes are more beneficial to me. I like anything Billy. I have the Boot Camp which I do enjoy and noticed results quickly so I think I will stick with what I know to work. I heard writing down what you eat is a good way to keep track. I know what I'm eating and how much. It's just a matter of me cutting the portions in half, giving up fast food completely, and sweets. I don't do fast food often but more than I need to. So Happy New Year and here's to our weight loss.
Peace
I'm right there with ya girlie! I'm not buying anymore clothes until I can get back into some of the ones I already have. I want the option of going into any store and buying anything I want.
