You're getting sleeepy!

So, while I was in Tennessee for a work retreat the entertaiment was a comedic hypnotist.  I will say the show was fantastic and I truly believe my coworkers (one being my roommate) were really hypnotized. 
Prior to becoming a comedic hypnotist this gentleman was clinical hypnotist and still practices to some extent.  So, that being said at the end of the show he was selling his CD's and yes I bought two, one for stress relief and one for weight loss.  I listened to the weight loss and felt really good afterewards.  However,
this CD was recommended if you wanted to loose about 20 lbs.  If you had more than 20 lbs to loose you should order the "Full Immersion" system.  Which includes 5 CD's.  One to start your motivations, one to help stop cravings for sugar and junk food (which I really need), another to motivate you to exercise (yep need that one too) and for bedtime. 
Now you don't listen to them all everynight, you can mix them up.  I've been listening to the junk food and sugar the past few nights and I must say I think they are working.  I normally have something sweet after dinner and since it's halloween there's candy all over the house.  I've had one peanut butter kiss in the past two days.  That's pretty good for me.

The best part was I got on the scales this morning and I had lost 4 lbs.  Who knows there might be something to this.  I think tonight I'll try the junk food and again and maybe one of the other one. 

I'll keep you posted.

My pledge!!

My pledge to me.
  1. weigh everyday and post my weight here.
  2. Record every bit that goes in my mouth.
  3. stop eating greasy foods. ( no more of my husbands home cooked fries)
  4. start a low impact exercise plan. 
The exercise will have to start slow because my feet constantly hurt and I have tendonitis in my right foot.
I'll have to research some exercises. 

Wish me luck and lot of prayers.

Ignoring it won't make it go away.

I have this terrible problem.  Every time I say the word diet, I gain 5 lbs.  I was so frutstrated with myself this afternoon when I got home from work.  I was in the walk in closet changing my cloths.  I put on a pair of shorts that I could wear in the beginning of the summer and they were too tight.  Disgusted with myself I stepped on the scale and weighed in at a wopping 283.6 pounds.  I remember the day when I thought 160 was heavy.  I love to weigh that today.  I've tried weight watchers, nutri-system, slimfast.. nothing. I have such a terrible sweet tooth I can't control it.  Now that it's October there's candy everywhere.

As you can tell from some of my pics, I'm a rather well endowed woman.  So last month I went to see a surgeon about getting a breast reduction.  Of course the first thing she said is my breast would be smaller if I lost some weight.  "No really??" Actually not really, when I was at my smallest 125 (that didn't last long) I was still in a D cup.  Now I'm more around a size H.  Yea a H.  Anywhoo... after talking a while she said that she felt I could use a reduction and would feel immediate relief in my neck and shoulders.  It's no uncommon for my right shoulder and neck to be stiff.  I develop a stiff neck and can't move my head.  All of it related to my gargantuan breasts.  So  I had a mammogram, which came out fine.  Oh, they did determine my breast were full of fat. Imagine that!!  Soo... the report was given to the Dr and she wrote a letter of medical necessaty for procedure.  That's been about two weeks and I still haven't heard anything. 

Hopefully my surgery will be approved.  The Dr said she would probably remove about 800-1000 gm of  fat and tissue.  That's at least 2lbs per breast, that's 4lbs off of my chest.  I can't imagine being able to wear a bra that doesn't ride up or my breast not falling out of the bottom.  I'm not sure how long I should wait before I call either the dr's office or in the insurance company.  My biggest fear is they will deny my surgery because of my weight. 
All the more reason to try and take some of the extra poundage off.  I'm hoping by keeping this blog I'll make myself accountable.
