Reality check

So it hit me recently just how much weight I have gained in the last 4 months. I've been aware for awhile now that I have indeed gained weight but I didn't realize just how much until I saw THIS picture and others taken the same night

Yes, that is a roll...and yes those are the jeans I bought at Christmas time that were one size up and now too tight. I watched as I slowy put on weight and things slowly got tighter thinking I could nip it in the bud at any moment. But, I didn't. So today, I got on the scales. I'm scared to admit it and to throw it out there for everyone to read but I've been in denial too long so here goes...I have gained......25lbs. That is more than half what I lost last year. I cannot believe it. I am so ashamed, so embarrassed. But, life goes on and I have a plan. Reality? checked. I am now living the law of thermodynamics again. Now if only the chocolate chip cookies would quit calling my name...

I am so glad to hear I am not the only one struggling with this right now. It is the worst trying to get control again. We can do it right?! Right.

Dang those cookies! Now if only I could get myself to quit making them too! That would solve one of the problems! You'll do it. You're so determined that it won't even be a big deal. And how's the new floors? I bet they look gorgeous!

You are always such an inspiration-I'm determined to make some changes too-I want to drop 20#. If you need any motivation I know some people that would do a biggest loser type thing? I decided to reward myself with a trip to see my sister (TX). When it happens :). I gave up the diet coke-now I'm hooked on calamata olives-I mean a ton of fat and sodium in one tiny morsel (yeah like I ever eat just one:). I miss you-hug you from me! BTW I'm working now but noticed some new spin classes if you wanna go some time!
