HNT...not for me this week. I'm so down on myself right now that I needed to post something I've done lately that I am happy with and that's finding the right paint color for my bedroom. It's still a work in progress but the walls are done.
Why am I so down on myself? Because I'm a big, fat pig. Since my back injury over a year ago, I've put on so much weight that I'm miserable and can't seem to get motivated to get it off. All my co-workers started a diet today. They all weighed in like on The Biggest Loser and are competing till April 15th. Winner takes the cash which is $100 entry fee per person. It's up to $1500.00 but I couldn't bring myself to get on the scale in front of them and can't get going on my own. It would help me so much if any bloggers out there could share tips that helped them lose weight.
If you have any tips at all to share, please do so.....Thanks

That yellow looks GREAT with the purple!
RE: Biggest Loser, I can only let you know that pain takes us away from who we are meant to be. I really hope someone who has struggled with weight stops by for you and lets you know that you're not alone in your struggle.
Bless you for your endurance and perserverance.
The room looks great!
Hang in there...You are beautiful!
Happy HNT!
The room looks great.
i had three car accidents in 3 yrs an d packed on weight after them. then i herniated a disk and was threatened with surgery. i managed to take off and keep off 25 lbs with weight watchers ...the old points plan. and when i started i could not even exercise. once i healed some i walked. it worked and it was sane because i coudl still work in the goodies i enjoyed. i really do understand where you are coming from. best of luck to you!
Beautiful bedroom, looks like a safe haven for you. I had to get myself a personal trainer to help keep me coming to the gym. If I set up meetings with her I would workout because I'm the type that hates disappointing others. It's worked so far.
The answer to your question
really lies with in you.
When your ready to listen,
things will start to get better.
OMG..don't I sound like a freaking fortune cookie? sorry, just speaking from my own experience.
Try switching comfort foods,eat greens,drink lots of water, walk,laugh ,cry and love yourself.
Thanks for sharing

Girlie, You have the most beautiful hands - so you could have posted them for HNT.
In other realms: Your room. Amazing. I love the colors.
Weightloss: Try not to be so down on yourself. If I recall, it wasn't just the back injury but some meds you were taking? Are you able to start taking some baby steps with your self? Try to get in your veggies for the day. Or a goal for water drinking. Something along those lines.
Yes Khiori, it was predinsone 60mg and if I knew then what I know now, I would have passed on them. It changes my appetite, my body and even my attitude about food. I think very differently now. Even though I'm off them now, the thoughts still linger. They make you think you're hungry all the time, almost starving and make you feel pannicky if you try to skip a meal or decrease your portions. I feel anxious and stressed trying to reduce just one meal. I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps a trainer might at least get me physically going so I may look into that.
Just don't reinjure yourself if you go the personal trainer way. Have you ever tried Weight Watchers? There's a new system now. Might be worth a look see. Plus, you can do it all online (woo hoo!) now. Anyway, it's called Core and there's no point counting.
join walk across texas with me - walk at 10 and 3 and we'll log it into the site ---
and when you want a sweet or bready thing... if it's after 3:00 PM... wait till the next morning - carbs after 3:00 hard to use up.... in a few weeks, we'll pick somehting else to get rid of or put restrictions on -
if we go a year with out an oreo cookie - they will still be there waiting for us and still taste the same as they would have tonight. But we'll be babes and feel better.
