Farewell

I did it. I changed the name of my blog from: Constantly Struggling to Lose Weight to Getting Thinner and Thinner. The entry below is what started it all, plus the comment from a fellow blogger, queensisthenewmanhattan.blogspot.com (check it out it's pretty good). Another blog also inspired me, realignedrain.blogspot.com (she has taken some amazing photographs), after I wrote the entry below, I went blogging for inspiration and saw her blog and she had taken pictures of signs hanging up in her home that said, guess what? "Everyday I get thinner and thinner" I took it as a sign (no pun intended). Thanks for the inspiration girls.

Well this is it. Check out my new blog: gettingthinnerandthinner.blogspot.com, I'll leave this one up for awhile, but I won't be posting to this blog anymore. As always I welcome your feedback and comments.

Day Three

Today was better, but not great. I decided not to go as extreme as yesterday. I set myself up to fail by dinner time yesterday. Today I took it slow.

Breakfast: coffee, a frozen waffle

Lunch: left over spaghetti and meat sauce

Dinner: shrimp and penne in vodka sauce

no real snacks except, a piece of gum and a piece of candy

Like I said, better but not great.

Day Two

I woke up this morning thinking about the title of my blog. Has anyone read The Secret? It was discussed on Oprah not too long ago. It's basically about positive thinking and the law of attraction. Well, I was thinking that the name of my blog is not very positive. In fact according to The Secret if I say and think I'm struggling to lose weight then that is what I will continue to do and attract to myself. So, I think I should change the name of my blog to something more positive. How about: Rapidly Losing Weight, Think Thin, Skinny Minny, Dietista, or Everyday I get thinner and thinner. What do you think? Please vote for your favorite, or if you have any better ideas, it would be really helpful to me. Thanks and wish me well with my struggle (I mean adventure) today.

Today is the day

I decided today was the day. I woke up with a new sense of determination. I was going to lose weight now so I won't feel horrified about getting into a bathing suit in August, when I'm planning to go away.

I started the day off perfectly. A coffee for breakfast. Six walnuts (they are supposed to reduce your appetite) a little later when I started to feel a little hungry. Then a cup of green tea. For lunch, a small can of tuna and eight Ritz crackers. So far so good. Maybe I can do this. Six almonds this time when I start feeling hungry again.

Dinner time, I start to feel my determination wavering. The kids want sausage for dinner-uh oh. It's ok. I'll just have one sausage and no bread. Well, one sausage turned into two, but I didn't have any bread. The kids wanted ice cream for dessert. That's when I totally lost it. I had a root beer float. It tasted sooo good. But I felt totally defeated. So I drowned my sorrows with some frozen chicken wings and a side of ranch dressing.
