[+01.90] Weight Watchers online

It's Friday morning - I felt I needed to post - the WW online was the best thing I could of done for myself ! No stupid meetings where we talk about what we ate, just the facts...recorded, what do you weight, what did you do, how do you feel, as we say in education .... the Data doesn't LIE !

I started off this week strong, shocking the hell out of my system with vegetables ... it continued, it's now growing accustomed.  I have decided to take my official weight on Monday and Friday and monitor over the weekend.

I have even managed to exercise with yoga, ballet, dog walking, and lawn mowing.  This morning I weighed in at 225.7 reduced from my starting recorded weight at 233. 

I had so much water weight, salt retention, and toxins in my body I feel as if I'm purging.  I haven't been hungry and while trying to eat in my point range, I'm about 8 off - but that will be helpful in the weekend. I have sworn off french fries and more then 2 servings of bread, attempting to avoid it in general ... makes me thing,we should buy whole wheat pasta, that would be a better choice.

So far the online tools have been great, I can keep track on my itouch and am going to look into downloading it on my BB.
I read my previous post... I felt such shame and anger towards myself - now that's not gone, but I would certainly say that I feel as if I have taken ownership.

My Tipping Point - Going Private

It's is April 25, 2010. We just got back from Sanibel .... had an awesome trip, I'm confident it's going to be busy returning back to work. However this was a tough week for me emotionally. Normally in visiting my parents I'm emotionally exhausted from my parents, but while that still had it's ups and downs - my true devastation was clearly myself and my weight. I came home today reflecting on how many stories I had to tell, and I wasn't willing to share them because I had made a public blog. I've been doing so horrible on my food and health choices in general, I had essentially absolved myself any responsibility, just not posting. Tonight I made it private. I realized I have a story ... I may not feel comfortable telling anyone else, but at the very least I have to write it down and admit it to myself.
It seems to hit closer to home seeing my dad, in once conversation he called himself disabled, I found myself pushing myself harder than normal, not complaining and feeling like I was not just enormous, but finding strategies to work around my body.
My legs hurt this week, in between them where my thighs hurt. In the hot weather or after the beach they rubbed together fiercely. I found myself constantly applying talcum powered, it was so uncomfortable.
At the airport today, I furiously moved my feet to stay up with Beth, tonight I feel my right foot cramping... I think of Cherie her struggle with weight and her leg cramps.
Buying clothing I almost had to buy size 24 ... my heart is heavy.
Beth took photos of my over the week - I look in a word enormous

 When I wear capris I have a FUPA ... http://fupahunter.blogspot.com/ I have to admit, I am happier then I have ever been, but my weight clearly depresses the hell out of me.  I don't understand how my partner can even tolerate me, I'm disgusting.  I know it may seem to an external person that I'm whining or complaining, but the truth is I think I'm just trying to be as honest as I can.
