Confessions Part 2....

I have to confess something (yet again). I have been terrible for the past couple of months with the whole eating right, exercise, no carbonated surgary beverages thing. Alas, even three weeks ago I fell off the wagon and had me a gool 'ol Dr. Pepper. I had hoped that because I had gone nearly 3 & 1/2 months without a "real" coke or d.p. (only coke zeros), that I would hate the taste. Oh but NO, that was not the case. The moment I took that first drink was almost like one of those herbal essence commercials. It was the most glorious thing I had dared to drink, EVER!!! The eating right and exercise flew out the window, pretty much the day I swithced positions and started dispatching. I went from a steady monday-friday 8a-5pm job, to 12 hour shifts 6to6, one month days...one month nights, two on...three off...two on...two off...three on...two off...repeat. Basically 11 hours stuck in this small radio room, with a coke and snack machine right around the corner. I have gained 4 pounds from my original posting back in march (see: Hi, My Name is Winter and I'm an). Now this is weight gained after losing about 7 pounds before I started dispatching. Therefore, (for those of you whose math may be rusty) I have gained a grand total of 11 pounds since about mid April. I'm turning into a lazy blob and I hate it, yet I cannot find the self motivation to change it. I realize just HOW MUCH of a problem I have, and really how much I need some help (more like lots of help). Is there anyone here in Ruston that would be willing to do first place or something like that with me? First Place was a really good program for me in high school, but I am willing to try anything. Thanks for any help anybody can offer, even if only in prayer.

I can only offer moral support, as I am in the same boat. If I was in Ruston, I would sign up with you. Remember when we used to run? hahaha...I haven't done that in a while. :)

Winter, I can totally sympathize with you. I have spent my entire life and a ton of money trying to lose while gaining more and more. If you were in Homer you could come to my aerobics class. Yes, I said MY aerobics class. I teach out at Cydni's on Tuesday and Thursday nights so if you are ever in town around 7pm come on out. Marisa thinks it is hilarious that I teach. For some reason it is easier for me now that I am old. Go figure. I will pray for you that you are not as slow as me. Ms Sarah

Thanks for the moral support christy, and I was actually thinking back to the runs we used to have with that boy...what was his name? Something like Wichael Wanks wasn't it? I'm so proud of you Ms. Sarah!! If I were in Homer I would totally go to your class. I'm trying the "Thin Within"... method, I guess that's what you would call it. I started reading it last night and I think I am going to like it. It's just sound teaching and a biblical approach to food and eating. Thanks again for the support.

Where do they first place in Ruston? I vaguley remember Mrs. Lynn doing it back in the day, but I dont remember any specifics. I might be interested, and I am in R-town. I was successful in losing 26 pounds so far this year, but Ive been lazy lately. I need motivation.

I apologize for my lack of proper grammar and punctuation in my last comment. I can do much better.

I don't know if they are doing anything along those lines here. I lost 57 pounds on first place, my jr. year of highschool. I know the biggest part that helped me was the accountability. I would even start a group, if other people wanted to do it. Holla back at me Jen, tell me what you think.

Let me know how Thin Within works.

I would be interested in some accountability. I have no motivation to exercise. Tht's the problem I have. In the spring, FBC had an aerobics class, and it was easy to go to that, but they're not having it during the summer. I think I exercised 3 times in June. That's horrible. So yeah, I'm interested. Weight Watchers worked for me, but I've slacked off on it too.

I'm sure our trip to Chili's didn't help any!!
