Weekends are WAAAAY too Hard!

Well, what can I say? I have no excuse. I did ok during the weekend after my pigfest on Superbowl Sunday. I didn't loose any weight but I didnt gain any either.  It was disappointing.  So to top it all off, I blew it again this weekend!  It was my husband's birthday and I made one of his favorite home-cooked German dishes called Ruladen. It took me 6 hours to prepare. And then I accompanied it with 2 types of spaetzla, 2 kinds of gravy, dumplings and some spinach.  For dessert I made a banana cream pie instead of the traditional birthday cake.  EVERYTHING was SUPER FATTENENING!!!  Butter, cream, sour cream, bacon fat, beef fat.......I could feel my arteries clogging with every tasty bite.  And then the following day my son invited our family friends over for a game night.  Pizzas and CHIPS and CHIPS and cakes and pie and more junk food....I was out of control.  Why do I do this? Why can't I just say no? I feel like crap today. I am all swelled up with water. No doubt way too much sodium.  I'll have to fast a couple of meals again to purge myself of all the rubbage I have floating around in my body.  I truly hope you all did better than I did.  I am mad at myself and feel it's hard to stay positive right now.

  1. I did worse! We had my daughters first birthday and we ended up taking home the leftovers from three cakes! Ugh! I've been in bed sick all day because my body is not used to all this sugar and doesn't know what to do with it! Thanks for being so open and honest on here, it's refreshing! Jaime Carroll

  3. TOO MUCH is TOO MUCH

    Have you ever heard that too much of a good thing is a bad thing. well think about it.
    - too much anesthesia and your dead
    - too much alcohol can be toxic
    - even drinking too much water can drown you
    well, too much food can kill you nice and slow. I just came back from the doctor yesterday and found that I need to go on blood pressure and cholesterol medication. I have made all the wrong choices, eaten all the wrong foods and made myself an obese, out of shape shell of a man. I am in pain everyday of my life due to the choices I have made in the last 10 years of my life AND I deserve it all! I honestly can say that I am sick of the choices I have made and if I do not change them I WILL die- too much is too much! we often look down at drug addicts and say HOW can they do this to themselves, can't they see that this is killing them and do they not care about their loved ones. well, people who are addicted to junk food need to take that same approach. we are no better then the heroine addict. Just because food is accepted and not illegal doesn't give you the right to overdose and destroy your body. and what about our loved ones- we simply pass the curse down instead of dealing with it today. I feel that I need to make this proclamation I AM DONE FEELING BAD FOR MYSELF, I AM DONE ABUSING MY BODY! today is the first day of the rest of my life living the way God desires me to live. I can no longer be a slave to any substance.
    I am going to start a weight lose campaign. Starting with a before picture and one year from now take my after picture. If you are interested in following me on this journey please let me know and we can build a support group.
    If you feel that TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH then start today!
