Besides, why on earth would we appreciate sucesses if we never knew failures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here we go again... actually, seeing as i am now and forever a monday dieter i thought this week, as embarassing as it will be, im going to write down what i do when im not motivated, not trying... just doing.

I think this is the first time since i got it that my tivo has been completely empty. So i did do something, i cleaned my Tivo. :)&lt;br /&gt;Weigh in today: -13.2 pounds so far. Well, this week. I actually quite like this organic liaison, i feel that sipping on the rescue me keeps my metabolism up. I dont know that thats true, its just what i feel.&lt;br /&gt;So this week i will add some movement. and also, i will have to do all the house cleaning, laundry, that i managed to not do on the weekend. Strict diet this week as im going away to meet up with a friend for a weekend of room service and spaing. &lt;br /&gt;Oh, and i do still have to do pictures and measurements.

Ive always been the 'cry baby' the 'sensitive one' so i try, hard to not show any feelings and it just makes me sick inside. So did weigh in, i new i was fat, i new that somehow in the last year i had given up the fight of trying to get under 200 lbs and got over 300. But now up to 314.4. Yay me. I have stuck pretty strictly to the Organic Liaison plan. Although my calorie intake hasn't been as high as they say. Funny thing happens when you get fatter, it gets harder and harder to do stuff. Its not just like 'well I'm fat, I'm 245 things are tough so whats a few more pounds' NO NO NO, things get tougher. Walking turns into waddling, breathing heavy turns into gasping for air. So now, I'm doing the eating thing much much better but I'm left with the fact that i cant work out for more that 10 minutes at a time. I want to work hard but physically cant. Oh and im a memeber of 2 gyms that im to embarrased to workout at and the ONLY way to cancel a membership is to go in to cancel. Nothing more fun than a fat girl cancelling her gym membership.  This is so bizarre and doesn't feel like me, how the F&amp;#k did i get here!?!?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3177300551505789933-6912265076774098316?l=happinessisthenewblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happinessisthenewblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6912265076774098316/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://happinessisthenewblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/this-is-where-it-all-goes-horribly.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3177300551505789933/posts/default/6912265076774098316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3177300551505789933/posts/default/6912265076774098316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happinessisthenewblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/this-is-where-it-all-goes-horribly.html' title='THis is where it all goes horribly wrong...'/><author><name>Courtney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03732178675312664183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IW1xTViZxOQ/TE8OppRtiXI/AAAAAAAAAAY/G5Mxnlg1rVM/S220/photo%5B1%5D.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177300551505789933.post-2406548987974461587</id><published>2010-07-27T10:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-27T10:11:59.546-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='organic liasion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight loss.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kirstie alley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diet'/><title type='text'>Ooops</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IW1xTViZxOQ/TE8SU0EoQjI/AAAAAAAAABA/LcLKFGwG0Ls/s1600/securedownload.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IW1xTViZxOQ/TE8SU0EoQjI/AAAAAAAAABA/LcLKFGwG0Ls/s320/securedownload.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498633818827407922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forgot to mention.  this is my first day of trying, yet another diet, Kirstie Alleys Organic Liasion.
