*sneaks back in* *sits down* *acts like I haven’t been M.I.A.* Hey Ya’ll!

I’ve been on hiatus the last five (or more) months. I’m sure you all feel that I have abandoned my entire weight loss journey. I have not! I’m still here, but let’s just say that life happened (ßBIG time) over the last few months and my mind was everywhere but on Fantabulous Me. That coupled with the fact that I haven’t had internet to post any updates, basically left “Fat to Fantabulous” up in arms. So with that being said, let the updates begin…

It’s all quite simple really. No complicated updates. Just two words will sum it up: Still Fat.

Nevertheless, I’m still quite fantabulous just in a size 16 (Ugh!). I honestly can’t tell you how much I have gained back because I am completely avoiding my scale. I have decided that I will continue to embark on my weight loss journey WITHOUT that evil mechanism. Well at least until October 1. At that point I will force encourage myself to get on that pink and red Weight Watchers scale. *sad face*

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I have spent the last few months devouring everything that I have in the kitchen. I just cared less (a lot less) about the caloric number of foods and ate items that I would usually stay clear of. I did continue to exercise though. That’s probably the only saving grace I have had through my calorie counting lull. I know I’ve gained weight back (not all, but definitely some), but due to the fact that I kept on working it out (Yay Zumba), I don’t have to start all over again.

I must say that I have missed Fat to Fantabulous. Something about posting on this blog gives me more of an inspiration to keep pushing on. And although I am giving myself a great big, huge, without a doubt, you can do better, I can’t believe you fell off, you better get it together speech; I know I’ll fall back into the groove with no problems. I just wish that I could snap my fingers and be right where I want to be, but like I’ve said countless times before “This is not going to be easy, but it can be done” and it will be done.  September 1^st (yes, yesterday) marks my FIRST official day back at my calorie counting. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I have to get right! ASAP-ually!!
