Just a Ramble

[CHUBBRUBBKARA]

Well, so far so good. Except today... I am having trouble drinking my water. It's 9:30 and I'm ashamed to admit that this is my first water of the day. But, I have no time to lose and I know the pounds won't come off without the water so I guess I'll just be drinking the water for the rest of the evening.

Today I was at my son's soccer practice and I was the fatest one there. I get so jealous looking at all the stuck up, perfect soccer moms. There I am, all big and fat, sweating like nothing else(It was hotter than heck), red face, hair stuck to my head and meanwhile all the other Mom's are there looking cool, in their cute little shorts etc... So that was my wake up call for today. Tomorrow we are going to a theme park and that will be my wake up call for tomorrow. I figure I need to get out and remind myself just how much I've let myself go. I think I didn't really realize. I mean I did... but it's easy to ignore.

Anywhoo... I just had to ramble on. I'm going to go drink more water. Maybe I'll be back later. Who knows?.

Re: Just a Ramble

got to get that water down Kara, I know it can be tough but it gets easier. I hated water when I first started but now I reach for it out of habit. I used to reach for a diet coke and another and another until the case was gone. Drinking all that pop only made me more hungry for the wrong foods. I still have a diet soda on a special occasion but I limit myself to just one. I understand your pain on being the biggest, I have lost a bunch of weight and I am still big but I am now in control. You get that "control" and no one can take that away from you. Hang in there Kara, lets get smaller together.

You know, it's the little things in life that give us the prospective we need. So what if you were the heaviest or biggest out there, but you were running with everyone else, trying and doing your best. In the long run you are bettering yourself, and setting a great example for your family, not only will you be so proud, but they will too.
Drinking water can be a drag, but I too drink it out of force-of-habit, not because I'm concisouly thinking about it. I do have a harder time getting my water down at home than at work, so I have to really be aware of it at home and drink it when I get the chance.
Good luck, and I know you'll get there, don't let yourself worry too much.

Hi Kara!

I have been slacking off on the water lately myself....probably because I have started back on coffee again
Your post made me go grab a bottle!

Hang in there...you'll be running circles around those soccer moms in no time!

Hi, Kara!
Don't beat yourself up. The weight is gained, it's over and done with. But you're doing something to change this fact and that's what you should focus on.
I understand about the wake up calls as well. Been there! I think most of us have.

You'll feel great in no time and that water will no longer be a chore. You'll find that your body adapts quickly and hopefully you'll soon like water a lot more.
