Why can't we all just be skinny?

I am just so tired of weight loss... or the lack there of! I have battled my weight for YEARS! I just can't seem to remain thin. When I was eighteen I got down to about 165lbs which is pretty good for being 5'9" tall. But, I did not get there the healthy way. Besides that, I have always been heavy. Don't let my pictures fool ya... I am very good at hiding it in pictures! I know what angles make me look good and I have some editing programs that I know how to play with.

Although I have been losing weight over the last year (20lbs) I don't FEEL like I have lost at all. I have not gone down a single dress size and am getting quite discouraged!

It also doesn't help that I have sisters who can't seem to don't really understand........


These are three out of my four sisters... gorgeous, I know! It's hard to look at, but I am very proud that I have beautiful sisters too! The one on the bottom has only struggled with her weight once and it was after she was married and I think it was due to some birth control side effects. She worked very hard to get her weight back down, so she can empathize a little. So... Here's ME:



But, I will eat healthy and nothin'! The only thing I haven't done is have a daily workout schedule... but, I just can't find the time. AND, if you say my schedule, you would see why. Besides, you would think that what I did each day would make up for that!

I am official title is an Administrative Assistant, but back in the old days I would have been considered a "Girl Friday!" I do a little bit of everything! I really do love it! But, it can consist of a lot of running around, up and down the stairs from my office to the warehouse, and a LOT of lifting! After work it doesn't seem to stop!! I am up and down the stairs of our apartment not only coming and going, but for but for laundry as well. I clean the apartment every week, lately I have been organizing our place, our storage unit, and my in-laws' storage units as well. Last weekend I helped my husband put in a sprinkler system, I do the grocery shopping... run, run, run! You would think that I am on a marathon that never stops!

So.... why have I only lost 20lbs in the last YEAR?!!? Any answers?
