It's been over a year since I have been on this site. In that time I have learned to say "NO". I have learned to stand for myself and put myself first no matter the circumstance as none will be looking out for me. I have learned to do intermittent fasting (which takes will power), but I can do this. I can take back control of my life. I have lived the scripture "Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comethin in the morning light". I learned that techneology is great but you can live with out it and still have your best life. I have seen the worst of people within the last year all because of my skin color, forget that I have helped them and given of my time, my money and been of service none of that mattered as they threw me under the bus and drove over me backed up and did it again and thought I should smile while they did it. I have survied it all, to see karma come back and bite those same people in the ass and they ended up weeping. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Evy eryday is a struggle but I can take it one day at a time.

losing 0.3 lb a week
13 February 2021
It's been a while since I have been on this website. Due to covid no outside activity and just working Monday-Friday (essential worker) and going home eat and sleep. (This is a known factor for me gaining weight). I started buying new clothing in 2020 as I started you are worthy program and only keeping things around me that make me happy and serve a purpose for me these days. I have to admit that I bought some looks I have always wanted to rock like pleather pants and boots for a rock star look and some colors that I never would have purchased in the past. (My only weekend activity was to go to Amazon Hub or Post office to pick up online clothing purchases.) 2020 gave me the insight to realize that I was around a lot of low energy, toxic and negative people (This was also a reason for me to eat as they didn't build me up, but put me down and fat shamed me while preying on my kindness.) I basically had no contact with these people at all in 2020 and when this is all over I will never be connected with them at all. I spent 2020 locked in every night and all weekend as I am a high-risk person for covid. My healthy eating took a turn towards the dark side as I could not go to the grocery store every week like days of old.(I admit that I started going to McDonalds, Taco Bell, Arby, and Burger King. None of these places use to interest me but when everything is closed or out of business you go native.) I really was not motivated to do any exercise. I have literally cleaned every inch of of my apartment, so it looks like it has been staged for sale including fresh flowers for Valentines Day. ❤❤ (Started the fresh flower thing again about three weeks ago needing a happy focus on dinning table.)
I ended 2020 and the beginning of 2021 rocking a totally different hair style long and straight. (The people I see everyday said your stepping into the future with a new do. (No Joke shielded and gloved up to go to hair appointment, but it was worth it.) I saw my doctor in January of 2021 and my weight was 198 at that time. My doctor had gained weight, so felt that this was pretty much the norm for everyone, but I really need to get off this do nothing Bus at the next stop.
I am looking forward to finding the new me with the workout attitude of me back in 2006. (This person went into hibernation and covid helped me to discover what really matters to me.) Today I found a photograph of me in a slinky red dress that I wore to office Christmas party back in 2006. Everyone was drooling over me in that dress. (I had been working out with a trainer and hitting the gym every night and weekend for an hour.) I still have the dress as it's a classic look, but over the years and having life altering issues I can't get into this dress.
I am making this dress along with some very sexy lingerie my goal outfits for 2021. (It will take hard work to rock the dress like I did without any body tucking undergarments. Personally hate these garments as they make me feel like a sausage.)
The only place I FEARED to go into in 2020 was my closet to clean and organize.
Okay, this morning was the day to start the closet restyle. I literally went through the clothing and started tossing anything that was frumpy, had no fashion forward steps, outdated, over worked clothing (trust me still look like new as I take care of clothing but just wore it too much) anything that really didn't do anything to flatter my figure or should I say the figure that I want to get back. At the end of the day there is a garbage bag for trash and another for donation to Goodwill.
Today's outing was a 10 minute trip to the Amazon Hub to pick up my TRUE GLOW spa heated beauty mitten. (Desperate to get my hands back into shape dealing with tons of paperwork, hand sanitizer, bleach and I am so happy it arrived today as I have planned a home Spa day for myself for Valentines day. Spa day will begin with a morning workout, stationary bike ride (dusted it off after a year of sitting unused, not easy to miss as I put in my living room next to TV) A Facial, hand moisturizing treatment followed with a manicure and pedicure.
Since yesterday was the beginning of the year of the OX and no better way to push myself into a new year of new stars. The Rolling Stones song "Beast of Burden" comes to mind sung by Bette Midler.

gaining 0.1 lb a week
01 August 2020
I am one day away from my 54th birthday!
I am monitoring my health more now. (Funny thing I remember telling my mother at this age she was over 1/2 a century old and now it's my turn.
I am celebrating not just another birthday, but the fact that I am taking control and moving forward to a better lifestyle.
I am becoming an online clothing shopper (never dreamed I would do this but due to covid19 it's one of things I started in 2020.)
I am waking up this morning watching the rain fall against the window as hurricane Isaias is making his way to my home. (Praying it stays a category 1 as life is difficult now and being scared of a natural disaster is more stress that I don't want to deal with now.)
I am will be moving into fall with a home workout program as it is clear outside workouts will not be possible this year.

losing 4.0 lb a week

Hello Fatsecret Family,
First I would like to THANK all of your supporting comments and prayers. I do believe in GOD and prayers and I thank those who prayed for me and my brother from another mother. Your support and comments helped a lot. For those who sent the negative comments regarding prayers. My mother always said, "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing". (Word to the wise person who knows when to hold his/her tough). Now that I have said this my test results came back "NEGATIVE". While I was waiting for my test results to come back I was contacted by another friend who helps a lot of people that he and his entire family tested positive. He informed me they are self medicating with over the counter cold medication and he's getting lots of rest. His mother in-law is in the hospital and she is positive also. I checked in with him yesterday and he felt a lot better but a person use to going to work everyday finding it hard to just hang around the house. (He is the only person working in his house ever even prior to pandemic, he is also a Diabetic and like me considered an essential worker. His boss tested positive and the virus is in his lungs. Yes, he wore a mask everyday and they cleaned the work space and his job had been santized by professional company twice after other workers tested positive.
I did unpack my treadmill which is foldable and a easily put away and out of sight. It's a mechanical treadmill and not motorized so it takes a lot of energy to use it, so I am sure with daily use it will add in my weight loss journey. Electrical is easier and nothing to do but turn on and start walking but a mechanical treadmill makes you conscious of your body alignment and stability of your body. (I am currently wearing knee supports as I have arthritis in both knees and this helps.)
I am 8 days away from my 54th birthday and I am not happy with my where I am with my weight and health at the moment, but I know this is a journey that beings with just one step and I willing and able to make the first step with the help with some pain medication (It's okay to laugh at this point for those of you who have had the sore muscles.) This journey can be made a little more enjoyable with the people you meet along the way FAT SECRET FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smoothie Breakfast:
2 cups of baby spinach
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup of blended Greek Vanilla Nonfat Yougurt (Good & Gather-Target)
1 Banana
1 tsp. Flax Seeds, Chia and Hep
1 scoop of protein powder
Share your smoothies with me if you have any. Finding ingredients a little more difficult now, but this only calls for a few ingredients easily found.
Okay tomorrow will be a weigh in date for me and I have to get on the treadmill now.👍👍
Thank you for reading my journal and yes it's very difficult to put yourself out there when some people make it a point to attack and send negative energy to people expressing themselves. This why a lot of people choose to go it alone and some group websites wonder why people just fade into the background and eventually stop logging on. It's not that they don't need the help or support it's because of negative people. The reason I logged in here years ago was because this website felt like a FAMILY. People who are caring, supportive and YES like a family we get on each other for not staying on track to reach the goal line. We don't beat people up with our beliefs or philosophies but we can be SUPPORTIVE, KIND, and CARING to move forward to the goal. When one of us fall we stop to pick them up, dust them off and get them back on their feet to move on and continue the journey. If they need support everyday then we are there and when they don't need the daily support we back off and let them go on their own, but they know that FATSECRET is a place they can check in and get what they need to keep going.
