Before and After

The first picture is me with my husband and I do not even know how much I weighed at that time. When I started tracking it at the doctors office I was at 299. I think I weight more than this though.

The 2nd picture is me at around 80 lbs weight loss. I have lost a total of 90 lbs so far and just pasted my 6 month mark.

Holiday struggles

The holidays are probably the hardest time of the year for me. 

I have been struggling with my diet and exercise lately. I seem to put my self down every time I mess up.

I discussed with my nutritionist about this pattern that I follow and she suggested that I focus on the good things I did every day and not focus on the negative things.

So I decided to take her advice and it is working. It takes a long time to change the way a person thinks, so this is a process for me that will take some time.

Along with what I am eating, drinking and recording my exercise in my journal I have started writing down my feelings and accomplishments.

This really is helping me, it is a great visual to read what  my feelings and accomplishments are.

I also decided to join weight watchers a 17 week program at my work. I will start this on Thursday.

I will let you know how this is going. I decided to do this because I noticed that I was falling back into my old habits.

Falling back into my old habits scares the crap out of me.

Does anyone else put themselves down when he or she messes up on his or her diet and exercise? I would love to read your thoughts on this.
