Sorry about the late post. My internet connection has been down all day and I only got back online now. It is difficult when little things happen such as no internet to not want to eat all kinds of carbage! Plus the scale has not budged in an entire week. Which is discouraging and annoying. But I held firm and did not do it. Not even on Saturday when my internet connection was down all day also!

Easter was easy I made a chuck roast on the stove top that was divine! Better then in the crockpot. It was a 5 pounder and I cooked it about 4 hours. It was so tender and flavorful. For my veggie I sauteed asparagus in olive oil and butter.

Learning to get through stressful periods without turning to food is something I take as things happen. While I may not be perfect everytime I am definately going to cheer and celebrate the times I succeed.

If I have to watch one more commercial about chocolate bunnies and Easter baskets I am going to scream. I don’t recall last Easter being quite so commercial regarding the promoting of candy, candy and still more candy.

Sure there was the usual assortment of sugar coated carbage in the stores, but at least a person wasn’t inundated with commercials every five minutes about how much more Easter candy you could buy at a certain big box store.

I used to use the holidays as an excuse to eat. This year I have decided to make the holiday more about Jesus Christ and less about those Cadbury crème eggs.

When I was in my teens and twenties it never occurred to me that being overweight or obese would ever impact my health. I felt pretty good physically in spite of the extra 30 - 100 pounds of fat that I was carrying. I would often repeat the mantra that I wanted to get thin for my health, but the truth was I wanted to be thin so I could look hot!

I hope that this blog will offer inspiration and encouragement to you as lose weight or maintain your weight. I woke up this morning at 200 pounds! It took 2 months of staying at 207 and nothing I did made the scale move. I didn't give up though. In fact I took a couple of weeks off here and there from even going on the scale. I think that persistence is the key and a whole lot of patience. Tonight is the biggest loser! So look for my recap and comments tomorrow morning. Based on the previews it looks like its going to be a good one to watch.
