I am trying one more again time!

Just a little way Grace used to say she was going to try again.


I really got disgusted with myself. I can't believe I gained all 20# I lost on Weight Watchers + about 15 more. Well, I decided to go through my doctor. She did an EKG, gave me a B12 & liquid chromium shot, an appetite suppressant, a vitamin list and a booklet about the weight loss program. It is expensive but I have to do something, I can't bend over to paint my own toenails nor tie my own shoes. The insurance does not cover it either!

But I have to do something, one day I will have to help with my daughter's wedding and children. NO! not yet, but one day and I want to be there. Not just my high heels like we are going to do with my father's wingtips when she graduates college and either one of us get married. Just a sentimental symbol of daddy. He always wore them when he dressed up.

Anyway, day one was a bear! You can only eat from Phase 1 (you must measure everything) and have only 2 caffeine drinks a day (whether it be coffee or tea or a combination of both) and 2 12 oz cans of diet soda. Then you must drink 8 8oz of water. Then, you take your meds @ 7, 11 am 3 pm.
7 am appetite suppressant and Super B complex vitamin.
11 am Calcium pyruvate and flax seed oil
3 pm Calcium pyruvate and flax seed oil plus a multivitamin


It must be working, I don't feel that my clothes are getting any looser (it is too early for that) but the scales said GOODBYE to 5# since Wednesday. My scales are digital and they are about .5 difference between my scales and the doctors. I can'r remember which way so it is either 5# or 5.5# GONE. I am going to say gone because I don't want to say lost and then find some more pounds. A little diet humor for you.

Found these signs:

I'm on a few diets I can't get enough food on one!

Or


I tried losing weight but it keeps finding me.

Found those refrigerator signs and I decided to buy them. I think they fit, right?

Well, I have hurt my back. I have a bulging disc in my neck along with arthritis in my shoulders and neck, too. That is part of the reason why I was gaining weight. I was holding my own after Weight Watchers by exercising but when I couldn't go to the gym because of my back all 15 inches I lost, found me again.

So everything is a new approach. And I let God handle it this time instead of myself on impulse. I have been praying about this since July 4th, when I started eating everything in sight. I did watch that special on TLC about I eat 33,000 calories a day. It made me mad at myself but have compassion for those people because I could be like that too.

I am keeping a diet chart and a journal. Doctor says she has had all but 3 of her diabetic patients on this diet and everyone one of them is off the medication. Gues who of the 3 not on the diet was? You guessed it. Well, I have named my journal:
Burger King, Home of the Whopper: The diaries of a Starving FAT person.

I figure if I name it, I own it. Then I will be more willing to keep it up. Besides, if I write about food maybe I can get over my obsession.

Ok... now I have to be political.

Read this morning at http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080801/pl_politico/12237;_ylt=AugqO7GwoEIQyqGTYEopcE5h24cA.

What I see is that the Democrats are at their game again. Lets snow the public, promise more money to them (that will cost them later) so he can get elected. My only thoughts on this - If you don't vote at all, the wrong man will be elected.

I am not happy with either candidate. I think there is a better man for the job for both parties but I would rather vote for the patriotic person than him. Yep, that's his name now.

And notice, I said better MAN for the job. Yes, a man should run the country. A man should run businesses, a man should preach and a man should be the head of the household. It is time for America to realize that and return to that.

And hear I go again, I am going off on another rant (but it is the TRUTH!).

If we didn't need to be so FAT in money, power and size, then a man should be able to run his household. The only reason a woman should work outside of her home is if she has no children and/or has her husband's permission. Ok, I am not married and have a child, this was before salvation. Don't need to explain more.
If a man spent more time trying to be the head of household (and being a real man!) by following God's will then, mom's could either home school their children or be able to be more involved in their school work and activities. We don't need to go to ballet class, soccer , basketball and football games, Boy & Girl Scouts every night of the week.

Our homes are supposed to be homes and not motels or storage units.

First off, all those activities cost money. Yes, it is good for a child to get active in something but children today are doing so many activities that they have been diagnosed with ADHD. They only need 1 activity plus church.
If mom doesn't feel comfortable home schooling their child, then when she sent them to school, they could be more prepared, well rested and fed every morning before they went to school. Today's routines are full of get up, go to school, go to day care, mom picks me up, takes me to practice and then stops somewhere for supper. Whatever happened to we are having meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner? It is now where do you want dinner? I've been mom and dad and made the money and boy now do I see the light!

A woman's job is in the home and if she must work then her income should not be used just to pay day care!

Well, that is enough,about that. Where was I?

Oh, don't forget to vote. My new slogan will be:

If you don't vote at all, the wrong man will be elected.

I am a bit talkative today and mind you I posted again, Pam!



GOD SAVE AMERICA
Remember tomorrow is church! Shake your pastor's hand!
