Struggling...

Was it really a smart decision to diet right before the holidays? Nope, but I am doing it. Struggling, but doing it. I am down 17 lbs and I don't think many people really notice. I am proud of it, but wonder how did I get here? I have always on the thin side, never really had to worry about my weight and then, when the kids starting coming....you know the cycle. Gain a bunch of weight while pregnant, lose all but 10 pounds....next kid, lose all but 15 pounds, and so on. Til you get to a point where you are 5o lbs overweight. tomorrow will be a true test.....all that candy in the house when I am being careful, along with my "friend" arriving any day should prove interesting in the restraint area...wish me luck.

Oh yeah and being addicted to Pepsi doesn't help!

OMG 17 lbs is awesome! good for you! that's amazing. and i hear you. i am dieting too and it's so hard to do it when there is seasonal food out in the stores and not to mention halloween! i mean i tried to buy candy we didn't like, but i still ended up eating some. not to mention the candy that i've been making.

Especially CLEARANCE candy. Sometimes I can resist the Halloween candy, but not when it's 50 cents for a whole bag of Reese's.
