Each time we check into a hotel while on our mini vacation, mom, my sister and I walk by the exercise room. We decided, in order to avoid the side effects of lipovox, we needed to actually visit the room and use the equipment. I thought we were going to get hurt on the equipment because we were laughing so hard. I think we may have worked off an eighth of a pound while laughing on the exercise equipment. I highly recommend exercising.

It is crunch time. I only have 64 more days until my son’s wedding and I have not lost any weight. Truth be known, I have gained a few pounds! Ugh. I put off going in for a fitting for my dress in hopes I would be motivated to start exercising. It didn’t happen. I may have to rely on a diet pill that works.
Here is a picture of my dress:

and this is me:

I have begun to exercise faithfully. About 5 years ago, I lost a bunch of weight but since then I have slowly gained it all back. I get disgusted with myself because of my lack of will power. I have been researching a site, www.ShrinkYourself.com, that deals with emotional eating which is what I believe I have. It’s emotions, not lack of willpower, that make diets fail. I can pass up a cookie if I am busy with something I enjoy. It is when I am stressed out while working in our store or when I have a headache that I turn to food.

Shrink Yourself is offering a free interactive session and fully personalized emotional eating profile that I am going to use to find out how to get this weight thing under control. I have to do something to achieve long-term weight loss and live a healthier life.
