26 Weeks

Last Weeks Weight- 208.8

This Weeks Weight- 206.4

_____________________

Total Loss (yes loss) 2.4 pounds

I had the most horrible flu EVER! I really thought I was going to never eat or drink again and that I would die, or worse, something would happen to my baby. But I got better, started to drink and eventually eat again. And amazingly lost 2 pounds. I say amazingly because under non pregnant circumstances I may lose weight while I am sick but I gain it back very quickly, in this case I have been eating again for 3 + days..... we will have to see what next week brings.

What its all about

I have always struggled with my weight. Ok, so maybe not always, I don't think I really worried about it as an infant or a toddler, but I vividly remember being 10 years old and having a friend tell me I was fat. Why? Because I weighed more than she did. Did it matter that I was 6 inches taller than her? No. Two years later I felt fat again, for some reason our PE teacher thought it would be a good idea to weigh each one of us in front of the entire class. At the time I was 5'4" and I weighed 112 pounds. I thought I was fat because I weighed more than the other girls. I didn't even think that it could be because I was taller than them. I know now that Bigger andTaller does not equal Fat, but no one bothered to tell me then, if they did I wasn't paying attention.

It's 20 years later and I now see how prophetic my thinking was. Now I really am Fat, I admit it, but I have a plan and I have hope.

I am going to run. I cannot run back through time and find that little girl and tell her how beautiful she is, how very normal she is. But I can run towards good health. I have a storng family history of Type 2 Diabetes and I have had more than a few Doctors tell me that if I can just lose weight, and keep it off, I can postpone the onset of the disease. I don't want to be sick. I want to live. I want to be me, a wife, a mother, a friend, a daughter and a sister.

I started this blog because I needed a place to vent about the struggles of losing weight and I decided that this is that place. If it works for me, if it helps me to be honest with myself and if in the end I lose weight and gain health then I will consider this blog a success. If you read it and it helps you, even better! I hope that you laugh with me and learn with me as I run down this road.

See Kate Run
