Labor Day

by jen September 6, 2010

Labor Day is such an interesting holiday.  There’s really no ONE thing you celebrate or recognize..  One Google search later, you find  patriotism, end of summer, back to school, work, some even talking about recognizing women who are /have gone in labor.  Interesting. For me… Labor Day brings such a mix of memories… some happy, like going camping [...]

One week later…

by jen August 8, 2010

Last Sunday – Aug 1st, I woke up and said “no more”.  I do not like being fat.  I destest being overweight.  I hate going into any type of setting and immediately sizing up if I’m the largest one there…. or going to a restaurant and wondering if I’m going to fit in the booth [...]

New Month, New Focus

by jen August 1, 2010

I’m still kinda struggling from my vacation at the end of June. I regretfully gave myself permission to put my lifestyle changes ‘on hold’ while I was gone. Well… that was approximately 6 weeks ago and I’m still not 100% back to where I was. I didn’t even blog through my ongoing struggle with binging. [...]

June 14, 2010 — Weight Update

by jen June 14, 2010

Weight today:  255.8  (-3.0) Total lost – 23.4 I can’t believe it’s almost been a MONTH since I last posted my weight.  It’s been a rollercoaster month which unfortunately included a few binges.  Nothing specific — just food in large quantities that I know is not right.  My last binge was this past Saturday.  What started out innocently [...]

Memorial Day = No problem

by jen May 31, 2010

As far as eating goes, today was perfect.  Didn’t matter that it was a national holiday, I was on my game!  Except for a little casualty with my Nutrisystem lunch cup.  I added water to it and sat my Brita water pitcher on it while it was ‘steaming’… minutes later I lifted it off the cup where [...]

Binge, Binge Go Away…

by jen May 29, 2010

As I was flying back from Orange County the other day, depressed that I’d screwed up and went completely off plan — yet again — I got to thinking that I’ve been fighting this viscious cycle of binging for so long….  as long as I can remember.  My earliest memory of binging goes back to [...]

An Anti-Binge Nasal Spray?

by jen May 19, 2010

According to a group of researchers in London, a nasal spray has been developed which prevents the brain from releasing endorphins — the “rush” or good feeling that is associated with the addiction of unhealthy food and drink.  The theory is that for  those who suffer from Binge Eating Disorder, it’ll be easier to adopt [...]

May 16, 2010 — Weight Update

by jen May 19, 2010

Weight today:  258.8  (-0.6) Total lost – 20.4 I’ m really late posting this.  I would have liked to have lost more this week, but I’ll take it.  I stayed pretty straight on plan — no binging.  I weighed myself everyday and at one point I was up to 262?!?  It got frustrating.   After I weighed in on Sunday, [...]

Weight today:  259.4  (-5.2)     Total lost – 19.8 I have not seen the 250′s on the scale since 2006!!  That is so rewarding for me.  I could not be any more happy with myself.  I will be the first to admit that a lot of what I lost was water from the previous week.  I know I [...]

What a Difference 7 Days Makes

by jen May 4, 2010

I was just thinking back to where I was exactly a week ago. Waking up in the hotel room with a “binge hangover” The night before, I had ingested a huge bowl of pasta and countless cookies. I wasn’t feeling too great about myself… or positive on how the week was going to play out. [...]
