I am feeling somewhat better and have my Dr. appointment tomorrow. I hope this clears up soon, but either way I am fighting!!! Thanks for listening dear diary.......

My Dearest Tasha-

Please do not worry. I do understand. Sometimes, health concerns come along and ruin your otherwise good intentions...Do not give up. Continue to pick your self up and dust yourself off...And as always, I am here to listen to you and advise as needed...Thank you for confiding in me...

~Your dearest Diary

Dear Diary, now you have done it this time. A younger Woman? Beth is 21. Why are you flauting her in my face? I can't compete with that. I just can't. Maybe if I hold my facial skin back I could but my hands would get tired. Oh brother.
Go to heck Dear Diary.

Ahhhh...My dear children...You all have kept me very busy this week!

Dear Tasha-
I am working on healing you quickly...Please listen to your older and wiser Diary...Do not let this setback hold you back from success...

Dear Barry-
This journey is very much a journey of trial and error...Lots of error...It takes awhile to recognize that little voice in your head, and even longer to ignore it or control it. Recognizing what you did is the first step...So shake it off and let it go...You will know better next time...

Dearest Beth-
I have missed you and appreciate you stopping by to say HI. Clearly, you can see I am needed here...For there are some messed up minds in buddyville. I appreciate you sharing me with them...

Dear Wonder Woman-
Why do you hurt me so??? You know I love you just as much today as I did when you were 12, confiding in me...

Love you all-
YOUR VERY DEAREST DIARY

Thanks again dear diary......today I have started over and my goal is to lose 10 lbs by the end of this month! I can do that!!! I am done feeling down and depressed. Today is a new day and I will succeed.

Dear diary.....

I found a pair of pajama pants today that I bought last year at walmart for
$0.75. I knew they would not fit me but I thought, what the heck? Only three quarters for them!!! I told myself that one day they would fit me. When I got them, I could barely get them over my thighs and no way would they button!! I tried them on today and the fit! They are made of material that is not very stretchy. There is no give in them and they are a little loose on me too! YEAH! Just what I needed to raise my spirits.

Dear Diary...
I bet you feel lonely. No one has spoken to you since I last did. Poor dear diary....

Anyway, I am almost back to where I was before getting ill. I weighed today and I am back to 146!! I was at 144 so 2 more to go to gt back to where I was! I am so happy about this. I am getting excited about getting out of the 140's! I never before had the faith in myself. I never believed I could do this! I am getting so close! Gotta keep pushin through!! Look out 130's, I am on my way!!

Hello dear diary....
It is me again. I did my official weigh in today and I am back to 144!! Yes! So excited!! I know it seems like alot to lose in a week but I went back to it full force after bing sick! I lost 7 lbs this week!!! So, now I am back to where I was and plan in moving forward!! I feel so great that I am not gonna have a cheat today like I normally do on Sundays! I can wait til next Sunday!!!

Maybe I will meet my goal afterall. I wanted to lose 10 lbs for the month of May. (Includes the weight I had gained back) I am just 3 lbs from it!! I can do it!
