Traveling Through Slowville

I've been pretty close to back on point as far as eating. I've avoided things that are high in fat, carbs, and calories. Except for the peanut butter I ate on a banana. I needed it LOL It was the best thing that I have eaten that didn't make me feel too guilty. Still trying to eat things that have lots of proteins and veggies and fruits. It's hard being on a tiny budget and feeding a family of 6 sometimes 8 or 9 even. I worry about the basics and skip out on the health stuff for me. Sucks but I've gone from 213 to 208. Small steps right? I can fit into a 16 jean which is fantastic since I couldn't do that the last time I weighed 200! Now if I just got the exercise part down I'd be golden. Note to self: WORK ON THAT!

Stress is still huge and I know it'll never be something that is worked out during my life. It's always going to be there. I need thicker skin and to roll with the punches better than I have been. Everything feels like a crisis to me, even when it's not. I've come this far and shouldn't count myself out yet. I may not hit my Christmas deadline... but I need to keep pushing myself and thinking positive. Something else that is extremely out of my comfort zone! Friends have been great with encouragement and so has family for the most part. I no longer despise my scale, although I'm still not happy with what I see. Which is good in a way.

That's all I got for now... see ya in another month LOL
