first blog post

     This morning I weighed 251.9 pounds.  Which actually isn't too bad because on Monday, Oct 26th I weighed 254.8.  So I have lost 2.9 lbs.  It was more yesterday but I gained back a little bit.  I am doing the weight watchers program, so I have a specific amount of points I can eat, and some foods that are "free" in that they don't have points.  Also, I am trying to exercise a lot so I did about 10,600 steps this morning.  

    I am worried about starting work in that it might be harder to continue to lose weight while working.  Hopefully I can keep it up.  I am doing better with my binge eating.  I have been going to therapy for about a year for that, and it has improved a lot.  I'm doing meditation too.  I feel like my life is a lot better since my breakup with Florean, I'm a lot happier.  I want to meet a new guy, somebody stable and kind, but I think it will be easier to connect with a guy like that if I have my physical health under control, at least to the point that I am no longer obese.  

    I don't want to be a burder to the man I am dating, physically or emotionally.  How can I expect him to not be a burden to me if I am a burden to him?  I want to be an equal partner.  And part of that means that I take care of my physical health.  And also just doing it for me, managing my own health because I love myself.  I don't need to be super strict about it, I am ok with being a little overweight, I just don't want to be obese.  I want to lose down to 185.  If I can lose 0.5-1 pound a week I'll be happy.  I'm on track to lose 1/2 a pound this week, if I can get through the weekend all right and not binge on the cambezola cheese I bought at trader joes.

 I weighed in at 251.1 this morning.  On my last ww weigh in on Monday I weighed 251.7 So I am down 0.6 pounds.  My goal is to lose 0.5-1 pounds per week so I am right on track with my goals.  I want to lose slowly because I think I am more likely to keep it off that way.  As long as I am losing I am happy.   And it's better than seeing the scale going up!   I made a super healthy veggie frittata, which is my new obsession, and it had 12 eggs in it (eggs are zero points on ww) and a ton of chopped sauteed zucchini and some sauteed onion too.  I put some feta cheese on top and also an entire bunch of green onions, chopped.  It's really good!  To me, it tastes as good as quiche and it's much easier to make and way healthier.  The nutritionist I talked to recommended I try frittatas and it's great. I am over the moon to see my weight going down the last 3 weeks.  I feel great!  and my mom even mentioned today that m...
