Friends the 7 stages of dietingT

hmmmm.

2018-03-24T07:24:00.000-07:00

If I ever stop trying to eat my feelings, I may actually get back on this diet thing.

I think all us fat girls have forgotten about our blog.

2018-03-02T08:46:00.001-08:00

I just needed to drop by and say I ate 5 boxes of girl scout cookies. That is correct 5 boxes, I buried my feelings in the bitches and it felt good. Well until it didn't, now I feel like I need to go on a 14 day cleanse. Sometimes life just takes an ugly turn and drags you down with it.

7:30 AM!!!!!

2016-07-23T11:54:00.004-07:00

7:30 AM!! I am awoken with a plea from the 10 year old to accompany them to the park.
He wants to earn his fitness badge and has to jog, and he is instant I go with him.
I could have rolled back over in the warm covers that were covering my body, which had finally stopped aching from the horror that was work the night before, but I climbed out of bed, made a cup of coffee, and went to the park and walked slowly while he and his dad jogged around and around.
I can't jog, I can barely walk, but I made the effort!

Monster Balls

2016-07-22T06:43:00.002-07:00

I have a horrible habit of wanting something sweet. Always I am in the car sometimes for 2 or 3 hours at a time and want something to munch on. So I made a batch of monster balls. Each ball is about 89 calories, I was worried at first I would devour them all instantaneous, but I eat one and it fills me up and actually makes me feel less drained then eating a candy bar so yeah!

“Monster cookie protein balls: Mix 1 cup quick oats, 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 scoop vanilla whey, mini m&ms and chocolate chips, roll together”

As far as everything else, trying to make a switch over to Almond milk, which growing up Minnesotan is not an easy thing to do. I like my cow, Milk, Meat, and all. I found a good Oatmeal Wheat Bread, and a Natural Peanut Butter that I like and I have managed to devour a banana and at least 2 bottles of water everyday this week. And most importantly No MT DEW! I have had Gatorade, and I've cut down to 1 cup of coffee in the morning.

I came home after work and normally I just sit on the couch and refuse to move because it hurts too much. But I ate dinner, and when I thought I could take it I went to the park for about 30 minutes to catch Poke'mon. Yes I am 37 but who cares it required me to walk around the park for 30 mn. That was about all I could take and I had to call it a night. So all and all I would call it a success!!

3 Years Later.....

2016-07-18T22:26:00.003-07:00

So here we are three years later, 50 lbs heavier, and my self esteem being weighed down by rocks. Went to the doctor on Friday who lectured me on my cholesterol, my heart health, and sugar intake. Bottom line is I'm on a slippery slope and I have to change today. So here I am three years later, exhausted and ready to make the effort.

Poor Beagle.

2013-07-18T20:32:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I took my Beagle for a walk for the first time in 2 years. We didn't make it far and it was not lengthy but he was wore out and I felt like I had accomplished something. Yeah me!

~ Kandi

Fabulous!

2013-07-01T21:27:00.000-07:00

I am doing so well. It is still up and down depending on the day but at least there are now Ups and that is why I am so excited. I have started physical therapy and I have started swimming and riding a stationary bike. My energy level went through the roof I thought I would explode from the build up. I don't want to stop exercising I want to push through and continue on.

I here that Theresa is also doing well, I have not seen her since the surgery but I here she is down past a size 14 and I feel she will have no problem looking sexy in that Size 12 dress come December. I bet she looks like she did when I met her 20 years ago. A few more scars and a bit smarter but those long legs I was always so fond of are probably carying her body well! Such a goddess, such beauty.

Only you can define your worth as a person!

Surgery Complete

2013-05-18T18:36:00.000-07:00

Surgery is complete, but I am still unable to walk or exercise. They did discover something wrong with my Thyroid which the doctor believed was preventing me from losing weight. I have started taking medication for that. I cannot walk long distances or ride the stationary bike, but hopefully soon. If mental exercises count, then I'm an all star athlete!

~Kandi

Slow progress...

2013-03-25T19:21:00.000-07:00

I am not any farther along, still bouncing up and down between the same 8 lbs. I schedule my surgery tomorrow, and I can only hope that recovery brings the ability to run down the street, jump up and down, or at least walk 10 feet without the pain of swelling. I'm nervous but I know that Theresa will take good care of me and keep me from getting bored. I'm lucky to have such an amazing friend to lean on in my time of need.

So the weight is going. I finally got under 180; but despite the sit-ups and workours, the skin is still there. It isnt pretty. Is this what i want?

more breakfast

2013-02-23T10:46:00.001-08:00

Haahaa! I also had to go make Robbie another 2 eggs, sunny side up and 2 more pieces of toast. These are all lean, muscular kids. Where the hell do they put all that food?

Breakfast Today

2013-02-23T10:35:00.001-08:00

So, this morning I had a "sinful" breakfast! It was so good! I bought the Krusteaz heart healthy pancake mix and used the IHOP sugar free syrup (which tastes wonderful and is available at the grocery store). I made a ton of pancakes for the massive quantities of teenage boys here, but I also ate 3 pancakes put a smidgen of real butter on them and used the sugar free syrup, which is all I buy now, and it was just like sitting down to bisquick pancakes (only I like this mix better) with Aunt Jemima syrup. It really was great and I didn't feel like I was missing out OR guilty! I ate three of them, lol. On a note, Keli ate 6 pancakes plus 3 scrambled eggs and Robbie ate 4 pancakes, 3 over easy eggs and 4 pieces of toast, haha! Jacob just walked in so I'm off to make another giant breakfast! Let's hope I don't run out of food!
Later.

ok Kandi, I'm writing!

2013-02-17T18:16:00.002-08:00

Ok, so Kandi insists I should write on here, so I will. I did kind of forget that I could post from my phone, so that's slightly my fault, but I don't really accept responsibility, so it's actually Kandi's fault. Anyway, I'm down to 180 lbs and I'm not done, but I do feel a lot better. Used to, when I stood up, I felt like my guts and insides were going to physically fall out of my lowest fat roll. Being 225 lbs is hard. Hell, being 180 lbs is hard, but it doesn't physically hurt so bad. Mentally, it still sucks. I talk about what I've lost a lot which is probably irritating, but I'm trying to make my brain remember it. I still feel like the fat girl that ate to get away from Terry. I'm used to being bloated and not feeling good. Sometimes when I have these extra bursts of energy, I'm really impressed with myself, then sometimes when I want to eat half a bag of cheetos, I think "well, I lost weight so it's ok". Well, it isn't because, the whole point is to KEEP losing it. I want to reach 135-140 lbs. I'm still at a rate of about 2 lbs a week. I haven't been doing my walking this week while I've been at Kandi's house, but I have been eating pretty well. The other night we all ordered from Chili's and I really wanted the battered fish and shrimp, but instead I got the baked talapia and steamed brocolli. Of course after that I crammed 2 pieces of cake in my mouth and got a migraine. Well, that is about all for tonight. Now i have to write on something else that I've been working on (for 2 days). Later.

Hmmmm

2013-02-16T18:38:00.002-08:00

I think Theresa is the only one doing any good with this whole weight loss thing. I don't think I have changed one bit, and I have stopped stepping on that damn scale, because I am tired of looking at the answer. I still can't walk farther than the front door, and I don't think I will ever get my foot back.

Valentines day is always so hard, because chocolate just tastes so much better in a damn heart shaped box. I knew I would devour one, and yet I still found it a cute idea to make my kids and future a husband a heart shaped cake slathered in pink frosting and sugar decor!

Summer is coming, I have bought shorts and tank tops to keep me cool this year, the weather is starting to change for the better, and I really really want to go for a walk through the park, I think Mario would like that as well. Instead he just lays on the couch next to me, snoring and chasing squirrels in his sleep.

I have a wedding dress to step into in 10 months. It is 4 inches to small across the chest, and although the seamstress said she could adjust it, I would like to be able to get it on without all the extra fuss.

Pinterest is filled with lovely recipes, entree's, desserts, smoothies. I have bookmarked many, like last year, maybe this year I will actually use some of them.

I want to find a swimming pool, somewhere I can exercise and relax if need be. Finally found some tinted moisturizer that evens out the tone of my skin and thins out my wrinkles so that's a plus! Beauty regimen's so many to choose from, so time consuming, and yet so necessary. I am the worst at keeping a routine, I have picked them up and let them go, and have often been seen in public looking awful, I like to project beauty, unfortunately sometimes my projector is broke and I come across blank and empty.

Well these are my rants for now, I suppose I should try to update more often, it's not unheard of that I barely go a day without thinking about food, fat, and how I wish I looked and felt different. I need to work towards those thoughts in a strong and healthy way!

Being fat is hard

2013-01-05T23:52:00.001-08:00

Looking back on myself and my body, I am so disappointed in myself. I hate what I see physically when I look in the mirror, and I want to take a long walk through the woods. I want to walk until I'm exhausted without pain. I don't want to argue with myself over food, over what goes in my body. It is a constant struggle everyday.

I'm Getting Married

2013-01-02T19:16:00.003-08:00

So now I'm a Fat Bride to be. It is bad enough to have big boobs, but the thought of squeezing all of this into a wedding dress, is frightful. Twelve years ago I got married wearing a size 14 gown, now I'm a size 24. The wedding is 12 months away, I am determined to get back on track. I want to go walking or jogging or anything so bad. I feel terrible, and I am so tired of being in pain. I need to get my foot fixed, and while I'm waiting stop feeling sorry for myself and get myself into a healthy routine. That means No bread, chips, M&M's. Only black Coffee, and much much more water!

I Saw Theresa Today.

2012-12-29T09:12:00.002-08:00

I saw Theresa today, and that bitch looks fabulous. Then she brings me a bag of clothes for Christmas, and says here you can have these, they no longer fit. And as much as I love new clothes, it reminded me how far behind I am. As soon as I get this stupid cast of my leg, I'm going to kick some serious ass. Plus I will be getting married in December of 2013 and she CANNOT look better in her dress then me. LOL

2012-11-05T04:37:00.001-08:00

Well, im doing it, but 30min walks in this weather sucks! Today i weigh in at... 204.2! Yay! I've been eating mostly fruit, veggies and diet coke, lol.
