Hola!

My name is not really Buttercup, it is Jessica. I live in northern Alabama and recently graduated with a BA in Elementary Education w/ minor in Spanish. I am currently looking for a job because the market here is HORRIBLE. I am currently horrified when I see pictures of myself and WANT to make a difference.

I am at my highest weight right now and need to make this a life change! I am a binge-eater, plus I am very hard on myself when I do anything (which doesn't help when I make a mistake). I am currently trying to change this CRAZY mentality that I have of making mistakes. I am currently doing Atkins because it is what WORKED for me. I have ALWAYS had a weight problem and thought I was fat when I was normal (OOOOO....society).

My passion is teaching, traveling and learning about various cultures around our world. I am still waiting to meet my best friend/prince charming...............

so the story continues......

Vegas=buffets :( Not sure what to do
I have done VERY well for the past three days, I started back on INDUCTION phase of Atkins. Problem #1- I graduated from college-party, party. Even though it has been postponed, we are still celebrating like tonight. Problem #2- I am going to Vegas with my family this coming Saturday.

I want to continue to do well but........UH buffets....not excited.

Should I continue until I get back from Vegas? Should I just wait until I get back from Vegas? Should I not worry about it when I am in Vegas?( Yes, I am a female and I OVER-ANALYZE)

Tonight, my family and I celebrated with wine, cheesecake .......I did well throughout dinner but these two I could not pass up.

Not sure...I have tendency to beat myself up about stuff like this but I am getting better.

OH Yoga.......... (Please tell me I am not alone)
I went to Yoga and realized I did not want to be there once I noticed all of these women who were at least 10 or MORE years older than me bending like a rubber pencil. I do not think of myself as a quitter but I ran out after 30 minutes....Did I look back? HELL NO! I would rather run on a treadmill and watch Don Trump give a speech about how fantastic of a president he would be (NEVER). So, I settled for 30 minutes which is better than 0 minutes. Once I lose more weight and exercise more, I think I would be more comfortable. The teacher was moving through each pose like she has scabbies......I couldn't keep up.

Am I the only person that has this issue?
