Helllllllllloooooooo all!

Yes. I look a tad rough in my photo. Been sick. Good news? I’m pulling out of it.

I wrote about working on making peace with my body in Loving My Curves post. It’s an awesome time to be doing this since I’m working my way through Layla Martin‘s VITA coaching classes. This matters cuz my belly size… My thighs too. Have been factors in my sexuality. And every day activities too.

Here’s the thing… I can use the excuse of menopause and long term use of psychotropic drugs to justify their larger sizes. No one ELSE would blink an eye. BUT BUT BUT DUDES!?! My eyes are going crazy. Not to mention what I consider my chin looking weak. Absolutely pisses me off.

I know! I know! I know! Loving your body suggests being kind to it. And? Eating crap isn’t kind. Consuming more than it needs? Also not kind. And inconsistent exercise? I might as well stick a fork in myself and call myself done.

So?

I’m going to be brutally honest: I was almost at 283 pounds when I attended the 2022 Entr’2 Marches Film Festival in Cannes. I slowly but surely got down to around 250 when I blew up my marriage at the beginning of 2024. As I walking around eight miles on the regular along with eating simple due to limited finances, I got down to 195.

Moving to Montana screwed this up. I didn’t have time to walk like that along with access to more food. Not just any food. Some pretending to be good for you. Truth? Crap food. But free. That free part gets you every time.

And I have a block where I eat crap whenever I start to lose weight. All sorts of stuff goes into this block. I’ll write more about it in future Tasty Tuesday blocks.

In the meantime?

I’m giving myself a year to get down to 145 lbs. (March 17, 2027.) I was at this weight for a long time. I’ll get into that more in future Tasty Tuesday posts.

Why be so candid about my weight? The stigma around weight. Like I should somehow have shame about my weight. It’s that shame that helps keep it on my ass. I’ll write more about my plan in future posts.

IF you want to do your own weight loss journey, I’d love to hear about it. Any sure fire methods that are sustainable? Yup. I’m looking at doing this as a lifestyle choice rather than a one and done cuz that never works for the long run.

As always: Have a glamorous day for fun!!
