What a stupidly rough evening! The teachers that I work closely with went to the same high school I did, so I got my mom to bring my yearbooks over when she came to visit. I sat down, looked at them and bawled like a baby!! My high school experience has been over for 15 years and I feel like it was just yesterday. My 4 years of high school were basically ones of me trying to live day-to-day unnoticed. Wow. Elementary and Middle school were so horrible for me (the fat kid) that I just wanted to fly under the radar and get the heck outta Dodge.

So, I went and found my favorite picture of my favorite men in my life:

To remind myself that these are my 3 main reasons for losing 63 pounds....

Sorry if the picture is too big.

Tammy, You can't change what happened in the past, you can only make the future better. I think many of us, thin and fat alike, had less than perfect high school experiences. I was a cheerleader and ran with the "popular" girls, but always felt like I didn't measure up......and girls can be very cruel, I'm sure I don't have to tell you that.
Even now, all these years later, there are high school "friends" I would rather just not see because they bring back those same feelings of inadequacy.

Hang in there! You are doing great!....you are a champion on this forum for sticking to the program and showing how it should be done. Your family is worth it.....such cute babies you have!

Thanks, Jo.

I don't feel like the same person I was back then (not that I was bad, I was just a "nobody")....and in my head, I know that had I been "somebody," that would have meant that I ran with a different crowd, did different things, etc...which would have made me a different person now...

It is just incredibly strange, after 15 years, to be back in my hometown, working in the public school system that I attended--being with many of those same people that I avoided. I guess it was just something that I needed to work through.

And, please don't think that I've been perfect on the program, I certainly haven't. But I am resolved to make it this time. :)

Thanks for your words of encouragement.

My name is Tammy and I am a shop-a-holic.

I just received some beautiful business suits in the mail that I purchased (about a size-and-a-half smaller than where I am now)....I got 6 jackets, 2 pairs of pants in the shipment. I've bought costume "bling," real "bling," new pajamas, boots, books, Christmas gifts for friends and family, ahhh.... :) What a rush!

I have been holding the purse-strings so tightly that I didn't even buy groceries unless we were completely out of everything. I just wanted some things to look forward to fitting into.

I have one rubbermaid box of clothes that are smaller sizes, but it is stuff that I would never choose to wear, and I despise the clothes, because that is all I could fit into at the time. They'll go to Goodwill--they're still in great condition, just not something I can wear professionally. I DID wear them in college, you know!

I bought the pajamas a little big, so when I drop another size, I won't be able to wear those either. :) My baby pulls up on my pants legs and I almost walked out of them the other night!

I just want to look good. You know the kind of good I mean. The kind of good that turns men's heads (not because I need to -- I have the most wonderful hubby in the world, but because I can). The kind of good that allows me to walk down the street not worried that people would think of me as "motivation" for their dieting--they'd never want to be THIS big.

I'm looking forward to this successful journey. :) Nancy, Jo, Biki and Mike, you're my heroes!

So about those Jammys...to get your money out of em, put an adjustable band in them... I am sure you have seen the kids ones, but just slit the band area with an 1/2 inch cuts one on each side by hips, run soft elastic through the band. you will attach the elastic to a button and as you need you can tighten by adding a button hole to the elastic....


No more mommy drooper drawers!!!!

Also, be sure to teach children I see London I see France....my kids do so love the underpants chant!

65. Praise God! Only 10 more to go to make my mini-goal.....I'm shooting for 10 by the end of the month. I've got 10 days to do it. If I stay religiously strict, I'll probably make it.

Thanksgiving is a-comin!

You know what I'm thankful for? That Thanksgiving is OVER! :) I decided that if this is going to be my plan for life (and it is) that I need to get used to the idea of having good, not-so-good and bad foods around (if we go to others' homes).

So, I ate small portions (and I DO mean small!) of anything I wanted, even a small piece of my mother's pumpkin pie, and I woke up this morning, having a shake and my glass of water. I may not make 75 pounds by the end of the month, but at least I'll know that I was able to have an off-program meal, not binge, and be immediately back on program the next morning.

This is how I'm going to survive, folks. I have lived my entire life, meal-to-meal, eating as if it were my last chance. Now, I'm living my entire life. Period. Meals just happen to be included.

I'm off to clean up my cluttered house!!!

I'm still alive and kicking! I've just been up to my eyeballs in festivities. I'm on program, but I haven't weighed in several days. I'll probably wait until Saturday, since it is December 1st and my baby's 1st birthday. :)

Happy Thursday!
