A Failure's Journey to Success: Weigh In

Weigh In - Last one this year

Quick report:

Since last Wednesday (Dec 24) I have LOST 1.2 pounds. That, of course is excellent news, given the feastivities of the last 7 days.

The not so great news is that this is also my TOTAL loss for December, due to a gain in the middle of the month (the week of the infamous 'border guard bully'.)

A fresh look at my habits and goals is in order, considering I am just past a year on this journey. Look for them this next week.

Must go feed my baby his breakfast (and change his diaper)

Thanks for leaving the two comments on my blog. I am so inspired to start losing weight that I'm actually looking forward to Monday getting here so that I can begin working out. Hope you have a great weekend:); January 3, 2009 at 11:16 AM

Introducing Me

I am a 53 year old wife/mother/grandmother. I am 5'3" tall. On December 12, 2007 I hit bottom. In spite of my "efforts", I had gained 5 pounds in the previous month, bringing me up to my all time high of 253.0 lbs. I felt so hopeless.....and desperate. I had spent most of my life hating my body and trying almost every diet out there, only to gain back whatever I lost - and then some. I realized, at this low point, that I deserved a better life than the one I'd been giving myself. I made a decision....to begin the journey that would eventually take me to a place where I was happy with my body and where I did not feel like a failure in that respect. This blog is at least a part of my story....as I go along. I hope others will join me, will become my companions on this road to success. UPDATE.....As of April/11 I have gained back most of what I lost during the journey described above. So, I am beginning again. This is why my blog is entitled "A Failure's Jouney to Success".......I've started and 'failed' so many times and have often felt like a total failure because of it. BUT I have hope, still.....in spite of all the 'failures' that I WILL get to that elusive place where I can say I have 'succeeded'. In fact, I've proven to myself that I don't have to get to the goal to feel like a success - I only have to be taking consistent steps in that direction and pass a few milestones along the way.
