So I've decided to look at life through rose colored glasses and reward myself for every small accomplishment instead of beating myself up for not completing an entire project.
Yes, ok, I did take a nap on my day off but I also filled a box with stuff to go out with the trash. Now I need to find a way to encourage myself to lose all the weight I have gained. It's gotten to the point that aside from the people I see every day at work, I'm embarrassed to have anyone see just how much weight I've put on. I know I need to start exercising and I keep telling myself that today is the day. Unfortunately when I get home from work I sit down and then I'm done for.

You are gorgeous in the second picture! You have imposed upon yourself these things you need to do, but you can also tell yourself that you can do them any time you feel like it! Be kind to yourself. I made your tuna salad tonight. It was wonderful!! The best pasta salad I have ever tasted! I will be making it a lot. Like you, I used red onion instead of a shallot and it tasted great. I shall make a double recipe next time, and we can eat it warm for dinner, then cold for lunch the next day.
I agree with Ginny, you are too hard on yourself. And your title, baby steps, is right on. We're all rooting for you and appreciate your sharing.
One day at a time, sometimes it's three steps forward and then one step backward.
Love the 2nd photo of you.
I love those glasses and you look so pretty in them and also LOVE your hair cut... see you are doing something right... now about the first shot> OMG..ha ha…
Yeah...what everyone else said. You have been through a LOT, Ann! You need time to figure out feelings, emotions, finances, and everyday life. That doesn't come quickly or easily. Maybe if it ever stops raining you can walk to and from work. That might help burn off the calories and improve the spirit at the same time.
I agree, don't be hard on yourself. I can do that too. You have been through a lot so don't beat yourself up. When the weather warms up get your camera and go for those walks and take photographs. You enjoy that and we do too.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of lovies to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
I pray you get that all worked out.
As someone who used to do this, don't wait for one day, some day to see other people. No one is judging you and if they are, they don't deserve to be in your life. You've been through a lot so don't be hard on yourself. You're an amazing, strong woman and that's what people see so be grateful for every day! Hugs to you!
I like the rose colored glasses! I am just like you with my weight...just want to sleep but I don't have an excuse.
WE have to agree with everyone else. You have been through a lot so just be patient. The weight will come off when you are ready for it to go away. We like the second picture too.
Aww, thanks. You're right I can do these things anytime I want. I think the problem is I want it to all be done now...lol
Glad you liked the pasta salad. I'm already thinking about making it again
Thank you, you guys are the best
I hate to admit it but it's been nice enough that I could walk to work I've just been too lazy...lol
You guys are always so encouraging and supportive. That's why I love ya all
Aww, thanks. I'm pretty sure the only one judging me is me right now...lol
I'm beginning to think the weight loves me and has vowed to stay with me forever...lol
You look so cute in those glasses. And I think we should ALL focus on being healthy and not worry so much about our weight. When we get healthy...the weight comes off. And no one really cares how much you weigh when you smile. Don't worry about what anyone thinks anyway! lol You're perfect and we love you!
I know what that feels like - I am the same way. I think it's easier to lose weight in the summer with all the yummy fresh produce. You look adorable in those flowery glasses. I'm sorry but I haven't been able to comment - don't know if this one is going through either.
Yay!! I can comment again! :)
Yippee. Now hopefully everyone else who has been having problems will be able to also.
