WARNING THIS BLOGG IS ABOUT WEIGHT SENSITIVE ISSUES. I DO NOT WISH TO OFFEND ANYONE .AS WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON LIFE. THIS BLOG MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME. THE VIEWS ARE BASED ON MY THOUGHTS ONLY. thanks joann
Well what a nifty idea this blog is or atleast i hope so. I'm new to this so bare with me. I'm soo excited about this blogg thing because i have so much to say. I have a diploma in fitness and nutrition. which means i know a ton about fitness and nutrition but up until this i have applied zer0 of it to my own life. I have sooo much knowledge to share and finally a place to share it. I gather the only people reading this are people interested in weight issues. Now i'm may jump around a bit with this first blog and that my friend is the excitment over this blog . My intention thus far is to create a place to journal my theories on weight obsession (loss). As well as to see my own progress in weight loss. Life is consuming enough with daily woes yet i manage to find the time to obsess about my weight atleast once an hour every hour. I have an imaginary scale chained to my ankle. Every monday starts my new diet. I know lots of people that start on monday as well, but once again life is consuming there's so much to be done . Do we really have time to obsess about weight? Now i think i better mention i'm not morbidly obese (nothing against anyone who is). I'm 5 foot 7 inches tall . 186 pounds last weigh in (about a month ago) . I am concidered the "average" size women. I read the average women is a size 12 in todays america.
I wasn't always a larger women but i have always been aware of my weight. The funny thing in that is i look back at the very few pictures that exist of me from just a couple years ago and think wow i really didn't look fat. I also new that when those pictures were taken i felt like a cow. I was about 153lb. in the picture that comes to mind. Why can we never be satisfied with what we have and who we are as a person? Now at 186 lb i think i looked good back then. I know i have to actually put my knowledge to use for myself. Yuck I know it's not what i concider attractive for me. i still cannot believe 186lbs.
WEIGHT is such a big issue . Companies make millions of dollars every year selling machines and wonder pills. We think there just might be a wonder drug that can make it happen We all have that false sense of hope. Yes... lets all lose 10 pounds over night !! There would be no OBESITY PROBLEMS! $30 lighter in the wallet well thats a loss but not the kind we wished for .. Sadly most of us fail and we think it's our own fault that we didn't lose the weight with that great gizmo or that fabuolously fat busting pill. which always leads to that feeling of defeat. The funny thing is some(few) people do achieve success while using those diet pills and gizmos. But heres the sad part they give credit to the diet pill and gizmo but the TRUE HONESTY is ...it was not actually the pill or the gizmo!! The people that might have success while on the wonder pills are the ones that motivated themselves to finally do it this time and lose the weight. So while using the "great wonders" in weight loss they actually lost weight but attributed there own DETERMINATION and MOTIVATION to the "great wonders " of weight loss.
There is no one cure to loss weight and nothing in life with weight loss is one size fits all!
Here's a gem for ya. Eatting right is a start and if you throw in a little exercise forgetaboutit.....I have to go finish cleaning my house but ...when i return i'm going into detail about the "eating right" thing because it's sooo easilly said it's soooo hard to do ..later joann

Hi. Good start to your blogg, well done, and I really hope you keep posting.
I "stumbled" across your profile and then your blogg as I read a comment you left.
I have to say, I fully agree with what you say about old pictures and how you look, when I look back I thought I was really overweight in my twenties, but was really stick thin (maybe have some head problems!!)
Anyway, i'm on the right side of overweight and getting thinner through (what I think is) good practice - diet and exercise, but the biggest thing for my weight loss has always been stress! my divorce did wonders for my waistline.
Anyway, just wanted to wish you good luck

Thanks SOO much for stopping by my blog! I look forward to keeping up with yours!! And in response to what you wrote on mine... a little bit each day is where it starts! :) Long term changes always start with very small decisions! :) Half the battle is believing that the things you are doing WILL make a difference even if you can't see it automatically. Hardest part of any goal at all in any area of life in my opnion is trying to keep motived and not getting discouraged! Have a great day!
