Willpower, Where Art Thou?

So, it appears as though I may have stupidly deleted my "No, I'm Not Pregnant, I'm Just Fat" blog.  I decided today that I was going to start blogging about my weight loss again, because that seemed to help last time.  So, for now, my blog will change from personal stories to weight loss stories/motivation.

Which, I suppose, is still quite personal to some!  But not to me!

As of this morning, I weigh 213.6 lbs.  Which means that, since my lowest weight of 191 lbs, I've gained 22 lbs.  NOT COOL.

None of my clothes fit.

I get winded walking up the stairs.

Everything aches ALL THE TIME.

I'm getting more and more depressed.  Which leads me to eat more, which causes me to be more depressed...  The cycle goes on.

I'm breaking out in pimples.  AT AGE 31!

My boyfriend and I went to Cypress Hills a couple weeks ago.  I wanted to go hiking.  But I couldn't, because I was sweating and aching and huffing and puffing not even five minutes in.

Worst of all, I am setting a terrible example for my son.

Andrew and I have started taking a class together called MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It!).  We've been to one class so far, and it was great.  It's a very supportive environment for both of us.  Andrew feels very welcome and comfortable there, as do I.

The other shitty thing is, now that I'm a single mom (half the time), I can't afford nearly as much as I could when I was married.  Trying to come up with delicious, healthy, AND cheap meals is very difficult.  Especially since we both love food so much!  Neither of us like to eat the same thing two days in a row.  We like a variety!

Do you have any delicious, healthy, and cheap meal ideas?

So, to sum things up...  I'm trying to get back on my way to a healthier me.  Time to restart.

NOW.
