Starting over.. am I really?

I look at this picture and think.. my husband is sooo handsome! Then I glance over at me.. and just get totally grossed out. Why do we do this to ourself? I think I have a pretty good outlook on life, I try to be positive, until it comes to my weight. It's like... it takes over who I am. Like, I'm less of a person because I don't exercise as much as I could. Got to retrain my brain.
Life is good. I've got to get over all of this ... geesh!

I did go to the gym on Monday, couldn't go Tuesday (i was being a good friend and brought some sunshine to someone who needed it) I couldn't go today because Cobie had a dentist appointment. You know what? I'm going to go change, and get on my bike! Like a true "fat bottom girl"!!! lol don't ya love Queen???
Tomorrow I am going to the gym.. and Friday too!
At my last girlie doctor appointment I asked bout the "lap band" the one that closes off some of your stomach... they got out the weight chart thingie that says if you are fat enough to get it.. I wasn't. Actually I was kind of disappointed. Sounded like it was something that could help me.??
I guess the natural way is best..it is the hardest way, so it must be for the best!
Chow, I'm headin' out the door before it gets too dark!

  1. Marilyn, you are beautiful- inside AND out! Weight is such a frustrating thing to deal with. I feel like I'm constantly starting over. I get all geared up, then two days later it all hits the fan. I think that my biggest problem is portion control. I don't pig out all the time, but I definately usually eat more that I should. Then theres the emotional eating. Don't even get me started on that. Uuuuuggghhhh! Anyway- just do your best. Take it one day at a time. And please know that you are so beautiful and so loved!

  2. I think you are one of the most fabulous women I know! Fact of the matter is, it's hard to put priority on things like exercise when there are so many people/ things to take care of. I have missed my last two days or walking/ sprinting simply because I KNEW I had to get the laundry done and if I used up my energy on sprinting that the laundry would not get finished and the week would be miserable for all of us. (I'm still crapping out by 2:30 on the days I exercise. so not useful!!)
    Do what you can when you can and try not to beat yourself up about it. I certianly don't hear Tim complaining!!

  3. Thanks y'all. I know it's silly to harp on.. I guess I really just need to focus on health. My biggest thing is, if i screw up on my eating, i just throw up my hands and not exercise. I should exercise anyway because it's good for me..
    Thanks for being such great friends, I look up to both of you~ we are a bunch of hot mormon women!!! lol
