The number 10

Have you ever heard of couples referred to as the number 10. As in one looks like the 1 and the other looks like the 0. Well that's me and my husband. It's not fair. He eats all the crap in the world and I eat one bad thing and gain 5 pounds. I eat like a bird compared to him. He's 6'3" and weighs 175 (maybe) and I'm 5'9" and weight 290. So rough.


This week has been craziness for me. My husband and I have been re-doing the youth room at our church. Painting, hanging curtains, etc. I've been at the church non-stop for the last 5 days. Things like this are why I have a hard time losing weight. Stuff just gets in my way but I don't want it to be like that. Today I took my measurements.... brace yourself they are ridiculous.

Waist-54 inches
Bust - 51 inches
Hips - 55 inches
Legs - 33 1/2 inches
Arms - 20 1/2 inches

So, now that you can see that I'm straight from my boobs down and not in a good way you can see that I've got some work to do. My legs are as big around as my waist should be. This is awful. It's reality though and I don't want to die and I don't want diabetes and I want to feel normal again so I need these reality checks. Tomorrow is a new day.

Tomorrow I plan on cleaning my house, getting caught up on laundry and organizing my pantry so I can make a meal plan for the next week. This change is not just about weight it's about being organized and being put together...which are things that I am not right now.
