I have not done so, but I spent some time creating a schedule for tomorrow. I did so because I have to overcome the daily grind. I live a rather monotonous life and I realize that I have become obsessed with my weight. Sadly, I have not become "obsessed" enough when it comes to my health and doing something about it. I am just a young woman who have grown tired. My entries have become about this, that, and the other. I have grown tired with becoming healthy instead of going out there and just taking steps into becoming healthy. Well, with Weight Watchers, I want to quit. I am hundreds of points behind and I need help. I still have a mentality that hasn't been of help at all. I am ashamed of my WW results. I stopped caring. I want to stop being frustrated. Where did it all start and how can I overcome it?</div>

I am not sure. What does it mean to not take something seriously? I have been told seriously that I haven't been taking things seriously. This would be about my health and specifically diabetes and being overweight. Ouch. In my mind, I have been taking things seriously, but on the outside, it is as if the proof is in the pudding. I have not been taking things seriously. I am over 100 points outside what I am supposed to consume, food and drink, during the course of a day. Yes, that would be a sign of someone not taking it seriously, at least not seriously. Why? I struggle. I have allowed myself to struggle. Yes, losing weight is hard, but I have struggled to lose weight for over a decade now. I am still the same weight range for over a decade and that has been a struggle just thinking about it. I realize that I have approached things the wrong way. It doesn't help that I still have a diet mentality and I binge eat. So, how do I overcome those things? Where do I begin?</div>

Today, I lost a few pounds. I believe that a little movement and a lot of fruit do a body good. I have a long way to go, but being on Weight Watchers has taught me a lot of things. One thing it has taught me is that just because something is hard doesn't have to mean it should remain hard, thus making it impossible. I have learned that losing weight is hard, but it can be done. For me, it will take a while, but it will be worth it.</div>

It has been quite difficult to write a specified plan since I am now on the Weight Watcher plan. Right now, so far so good. As of right now, I have lost a few pounds. I am okay with that. As a matter of fact, I have been okay with quite a few things. So far, I have gotten closer to my current goal, which makes me smile. However, I realize that I have miles ahead. It will be a journey that is or would be well worth it.</div>

OMG...<br />
<br />
What have I done to myself? I ate two packages of cookies, several candy bars, crackers, four snack cakes, and three bottles of soda. All of this has happened in a two day period. I won't blame anything or anyone else. I only have myself to blame. In other words, no matter what else is going on with me, I take full responsibility for my actions. How could I eat all of that knowing I need to lose weight? I am on Weight Watchers and I have just done the opposite. What was I thinking? I feel like I have gone back instead of moving forward. I guess I have to start over again.</div>

<br />
OMG...<br />
<br />
I have a good job of sabotaging myself. I have a problem with overeating and failing to put all of the food that I have down. I needed to learn my lesson today, but it seems that I have nothing to put down. I was depressed last week and now I have come to realize that I am even more depressed. Changes have to be made if I wish to lose weight and spend whatever money I have in order to stay on the program. As those who read this may know, I am on the Weight Watchers program. I have every reason to change. I have read about an actor and other who have died due to complications of diabetes. As a diabetic, I have come to realize that I need to take this condition more seriously, or I will suffer from complications. Diabetes can become progressively worse over time; I don't want that to happen to me. Sadly, it took me just seconds to minutes ago about the seriousness of why I need to eat sensibly, moderately, and healthy. I need to lose weight. The issue is why? Why do I make it harder on myself? I wish I knew the answer to that question.</div>

I only have 3 weekly points left. I also have little patience for error. I saw myself in the mirror and I have come to realize that I do complain. I complain a lot. I am a whiny person who has been considered annoying and that may be true. I have gotten lazy over the years and I really need to lose weight. I realize that those 3 points have become a wake up call. I realize that the fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are what is necessary to lose weight and keep it up. Eating too many processed foods have done me no good. I am now on Weight Watchers and it is time that I need to stop making promises I cannot keep. </div>

Lately, I have been on the Weight Watchers plan. I now wonder how I can go about planning my meals. All I know is to incorporate more fruits and vegetables, even two oranges and an apple if need be. That would at least cut down on my binge eating. I could also use healthy snacks and healthy canned fruits, which don't have many, or any points. Lately, I have had issues with binge eating, which have depressed me. Right now, I am not so depressed. In fact, I feel more confident than ever.</div>

I am doing better today. I am not on a break. As a matter of fact, I realize that I maybe should still create a plan even while I am on the Weight Watchers plan. I started the plan this past Saturday. This is my fourth time on the program. I have learned a lot from this program. My goal for now is to lose a few ounces, then lose another ten pounds. It has been only a few days. My weight can finally go down. Despite the PCOS, the weight loss so far, has been good news. What scares me isn't the weight loss and the plateaus, but the scary part is the maintaining of my lost weight, whatever it may be. But for now, I am proud.</div>

Dear God,</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not good in the area of meal
planning at all! I have tried and failed so many times. With everything
I seem to juggle, trying to plan a week of meals seems so challenging,
but it is an area of my life I desire to improve. As a wife I want to
provide meals for my husband that will bless him and our family. I
desire to have the skills necessary to plan, shop, and execute dishes
that taste good and satisfy. I don’t want to rely on eating out,
especially when some of the food is not that good for us and how much it
costs. Please give me the time to plan meals out and equip me to be
creative and good at cooking. I think improving in this area of
marriage would truly bless my husband. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you for my husband in
Jesus’ name AMEN!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

* I can definitely relate to those who are in need. I could definitely see myself confused at times. Furthermore, I often find myself unplanned in prayer. I could use some guidance now. </div>

I realize that changing one's perspective one question at a time can lead to one solution at a time. For instance, I make plans over and over. The reason why is that I thought that it would help me to lose weight. The truth is, I have lost weight, and these are great plans. However, I have to change my perspective on how to formulate my plans. The answer is to take an inventory of what I have and to leave behind as well what is not good for me. I am at an age where I should know better. However, I have been stuck. <br />
<br />
I complained all of the time when I realize that as a Christian, I have much to be thankful for. First and foremost, Jesus, the Son of God, is my Lord and Savior. As a believer in Christ, that is enough to be thankful for. I am also thankful for my health and my ability to come to Him for not only in times of need, but in times of thanks and praise. I write this because I don't have to remain where I am. I can make changes. For instance, I do consume way too much peanut butter and processed foods. I see only the whys and the hows. How do I change this and that? How do I develop the taste for something healthy? I don't wish to buy healthy foods only to not eat them, which is often what I do. <br />
<br />
The answer is to take things slow and keep things simple. As I am writing this, I actually feel a sense of relief. I am finally free from all of the guilt and all of the "pain" that comes with being overwhelmed. I feel like everything that has overwhelmed me has finally been lifted off of me. I am now none the wiser.</div>

I surprise myself. My goal is to continue logging in to myfitnesspal
and consume no more or somewhat within the 1700 to 1900 calorie range.
While I often miss the mark at 1800, caloriewise, I do well. On the
other hand, I have a lot to learn when it comes to planning my meals.
Peanut butter is one of my weaknesses. I do consume too much of it. It
is supposed to be healthy in small doses, for instance. Sadly, there
is a fact that I have no clue how to eat or follow a plan. I need to
learn how to follow a plan.<br />
<br />
I also need to exercise. I am motivated. The truth is, I am not sure
if I will ever get to exercise. The issue with me is, I have struggled
to move on from the past. I have made mostly meal and diet plans for
myself. Unfortunately, I don't usually take the time to do the same
thing as far as exercise. The main issues are what time to begin
exercising, how many times to exercise, and which exercise to do. Where
should I begin?<br />
<br />
Here is the plan that I have been given. That plan seems easy, but
sometimes it is hard to implement. The first thing I realize that I
need to do is to follow said plan. However, I tend to plan according to
calories and calories alone. Maybe I should follow the plan that was
given to me and that I have tried to follow. Here is my 1800 calories
plan, yet I need to keep in mind that I don't always (and should) follow
this particular plan:<br />
Breakfast<br />
400 calories<br />
<br />
Lunch<br />
500 calories<br />
<br />
Dinner<br />
400 calories<br />
<br />
Snack 1<br />
200 calories<br />
<br />
Snack 2<br />
200 calories<br />
<br />
Snack 3<br />
100 calories<br />
<br />
Total<br />
1800 calories<br />
<br />
The above plan is the plan that I try to follow. However, this one plan
is quite realistic and somewhat easy to follow. I do realize, however,
that the original plan for me is 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 starches, and
1/4 meal and proteins. This plan is based on the plate method, which is
what the nutritionist has presented. It has been hard to follow, no
matter how easy it looks on paper and plate. How do I follow this when
my diet is so poor? It is obvious, but it can be overwhelming. In
fact, following a plan can be quite overwhelming. This would be because
nothing comes easy for me because I have so many plans. I love sweets
and other trigger foods more so than fruits and vegetables at times, yet
it is time that I need to change up my acquired tastes and add them to
my diet.</div>
