Miss Fit's Diary

I'm curious about the orange sunrise water? Where do you buy that? I've never heard of it before (but it may be because I'm in Canada)

I tend to do weekly weigh ins, but I find I don't get discouraged if I do measurements instead. Seeing the inches coming off even if the scale doesn't move is really motivating for me.
 
Love how you are keeping us posted with your meals MissFit, welcome to the Forum.

So far it seems you are doing wonderful...like everyone said, every person works differently with the weigh ins...do what works for you, what will keep you motivated and accountable to your goals. ;-)

Also, YES 3miles walk does count for something...specially if that is not something you usually do...maybe incorporate that 20 min. a day, I love walks/run/hiking...it helps clear my mind and unwind from daily stress. HIIT training can also provide you with a quick, at home work-out.

Wishing you the very best on your journey.

Thanks, CaliGirl! Today was tough for me to stay motivated. I was out doing shopping most of the day and didn't prepare with snacks or anything...then everyone wanted Cinnabon at the mall. Yikes. I stayed strong, but I really wanted to eat like 5. :D I would really love to incorporate some walking into my daily routine, you're so right, even just 20 minutes a day would be a nice stress reliever.

My calories were pretty low today. I'll try to keep them more consistently at 1400 next week, if I can. I felt great today, other than the whole Cinnabon temptation at the mall, but whatever - I got through it. It's nice to have control over those things, sometimes.

Okay, this is something that really irks me...
I know my mother means well, but she always is shoving homemade food (decadent food) in my face. Then, when I politely refuse, she's like "oh are you on that diet again?" She says this in front of whoever we're standing around, or family...friends...strangers, doesn't matter. I just find it so embarrassing and almost condescending. This last time, I told my mom, "No...I'm not on a diet." And she was like, "Oh, you're not? Then why can't you eat this?" And I told her I was trying to eat healthier, to which she replied, "Well, a diet is how we eat, I didn't mean it like a diet diet." Uh, yes you did, mom.

Also, sometimes we'll be out, or she'll be talking about someone and she'll refer to them as fat slobs and say something mean about their weight. Then she'll complain about how fat she is at 130 pounds. She'll even call me up and tell me, "Oh my gosh, guess how much I weigh today...130 pounds, Miss Fit, I'm SO FAT." To this I don't even know what to say - is she trying to make me feel bad? So recently, I've been telling her, "Well, you should try walking more or eating healthier if you feel that way, mom.." Then, when I tell her I'm dieting she'll tell me I'm not that big and that I need to be careful not to 'lose too much weight'. ---Uhhh, what? I'm not even near that level...but, okay.

I think my body image issues started with my mother. I was on the scale my senior year of high school, looking at my 125 lbs and she told me I needed to lose weight and that my cheerleading uniform would look better if I toned up more. Maybe she has body issues as well, and she just sort of vomited all those issues onto me.

Sorry /endrant. Thanks for any of you who read that. I just needed to get it off my chest.
 
Yesterday was Memorial Day here, and we BBQ'd burgers, hot dogs, sausages, veggies...had lots of sides and lots of desserts and I indulged in a lot of them! It was yummy! Today, back on track! I did have a 4 lb weight loss for the week, I was 214 on Monday morning down from 218. That movement on the scale was definitely motivating and I am excited to get back on track and see where this week takes me since I had such a big treat day yesterday.
 
Hi Miss Fit. Your body image problems most probably came from your mother. It's hard not to pick up on their hang-ups. It can be overcome though & I think you will be able to do it. Parents do the best they can usually, but it's a tough job. Don't weigh yourself after your Memorial Day feast. A few good days will fix it. Cheers, Cate.

Thanks for replying, Cate! Yeah, we all do the best we can as parents - that is very true. I will refrain from weighing myself!

Today was alright. I have a lot of school stuff going on and will be up late studying. I'll have my mug of tea, though! I don't usually snack when I'm busy studying, it's when I take "Netflix breaks" that I start wanting snacks. I'll need to eliminate those. They contribute to my procrastination issues as well as my weight issues. Double whammy! Hope everyone out there is doing well and has a wonderful day/night - wherever you are. :beating:
 
I have friend who will say and do all the kind of things your mentioned your mom doing and it´s realllllly annoying but at least it´s "just" a friend. For me it helps to silently add "in your opinion" or other silly things to comments like that, to keep them from running around in my head too much.
 
I do the same, but I don't say it silently :blush5: When I say hello to someone & they don't even deign replying I usually say "Yeah hi Cate. How are you?" "Good thanks"..... as I walk right past them
 
@LaMaria - it's so annoying! I hate it! The last time I did mention the diet thing bothered me, though. I think she finally 'got' it. We'll see....

@cate - Good for you! I wish I was able to be confident and bold sometimes. Maybe I can change that once I'm not so self-conscious about my weight. I usually just go over in my head later what I would have liked to have said to such and such person and never actually do it! lol

My diet sure seems pretty boring sometimes! :p
 
^^^^ yep this!

Keep up the good work! You are on a great path. And we all have Mom issues, my Mom is a great Mom, but there are days I just roll my eyes and think...my poor Dad...haha. And come here and vent when you need too...its a great tool for stress eating.

Have a great weekend and thanks for the kind words earlier, we are all a work in progress and I am trying my hardest to get back to me :)
 
Thanks, ladies!! Yeah, I actually really enjoy it, so I'm sticking with it! When my husband is off work, I usually indulge a little more than I should (usually falls on a Monday), but so far it hasn't been hindering me too much. I have wine and rarely log any calories into MFP that day. If I start seeing negative results from it on a weekly basis, I'll cut back if needed.

Another day! This isn't so hard after all, maybe. o_O You mean I could have been doing this the entire time and not gotten fat? Damnit. :oops:
So today I chose a PCP (primary care practitioner). I have never had a regular doctor (other than OBGYN) that I go see for actual checkups. I have always thought I was 'too young'...and then that turned into being embarrassed to go to the doctor because I had let myself gain so much weight. No more! The road to a healthier lifestyle starts with me not hiding from people who are going to tell me the truth. Plus, I'll be able to tell my doctor that I'm aware that I'm overweight and have started to change it. Still scared to go see her, though. :(

Today was a pretty low calorie day, something I didn't really intend for it to be - just a busy bee today! I did manage to completely empty my refrigerator and scrub every shelf and drawer, top to bottom! Quite a daunting task when you have a toddler who manages to get jelly and pickle in every crevice of the fridge. :ack2:

*Might be TMI for any men who are reading this, so read no further!*

But to the women, you know what I'm going through - shark week is coming up next week...so I'm trying to be completely ready for my insane chocolate cravings, and insane mood swings.. I hate that I go through that. Oh, and insatiable hunger.. there's that, too. :cheers2:
 
Hmpf. I prefer real sharks. In the pool I´m swimming in. So good luck next week, at least it helps to know it´s coming up so you can prepare mentally.

Exactly. At least real sharks don't make me gain weight. They may even take off a lb or two when they chomp off some limbs! :jump:

Tomorrow I'll weigh in! I'm hoping for a 1 or 2 lb loss for the week, so crossing my fingers! Even if I didn't lose much, I still won't give up. I really feel better when I'm eating like this and not giving in to binge eating all the time. I feel more in control of my life, and less like food is controlling my life. I feel like I can even devote more time to studying and remain focused. Hope everyone is having a good evening. ?

:rotflmao:

Also: yay for feeling more in control and more focused! I know it´s a tired cliché but losing weight really should just be a pleasant side-effect of living a healthy life. Now to convince my brain of that...
