2ne's Journey

your body gets used to not eating the fats and oily stuff so when u do have it after a while u do get sick...

but the taste is still there.. its worth cheating ONCE in a while in moderation.

ur plan sounds good. just keep sticking to it!
 
Hey Nene! Don't treat exercise like its death... That will just make ya hate it. Did you ever see Legally Blonde?? Theres a movie quote in it where they are defending a woman accused of killing her husbande and Elle says: "She's an aerobics instructor. Exercise releases endorphins. And endorphins make you happy! She didn't do it! Happy people don't kill people!" lol. I watched that at the gym the other night while I was on the elliptical, and I laughed soooo hard... I'm fairly certain that everyone thought I was nuts. My problem is I hate GOING to the gym. But once I'm there, its cool. I'm fine with it. weird, yeah?
Keep going, don't let anything get ya down :) It WILL get better!
 
Hi Nene

You want to do exercise but you do not want to go to the gym or outside. One option is to put on some music and become the person who dances around their living room. It is all steps and all exercise. If you wear a pedometer the count should go up as you take the steps. I sometimes do this.

Stay focused and I am sure that you will get the results that you want.

Take care

It's been ages since my last post. But no matter, I'm here. I'm goin to spend a little time looking around at all your posts (those of you who've stopped by), so this will be brief.

Folks, it's been 2 weeks and I've lost a total of (drum roll) 1kg. Thats about 2.2lbs, or 2.2lbs behind target. I don't know maybe I need to review my goals and lower the bar? On the one hand I'm happy to see some progress. On the other hand - that's IT?!? After all my hard work?

Ok, I cannot tell a lie. I've cheated quite a bit, especially in the last 3 days. I mean, somewhere in my brain I must be thinking that 2 'good' days qualifies me to have one binge day. Which leads me to thinking I havent quite changed my paradigm yet. I'm still thinking of this as a diet, or something which I'll do for a while till I hit goal weight, then I can live 'normally'. Hmmm. Some head-work to be done
 
Hey girl! Congrats on your -2.2 lbs! I totally know what you mean when you contemplate it - like on the one hand it's weight lost and on the other hand you're like... GRR i worked so hard for 2.2 lbs? But the point is that you've lost weight - and are headed in the right direction.

I also feel ya on the cheating days - it is so hard when you feel like you've done so well that you almost 'deserve' to eat what ever you feel like. You are human - this will happen. Keep up your hard work - I know it will pay off :)
 
Hi Nene,

The sad thing is that probably two good days probably does qualify you for a bad day if all you are trying to do is keep the same weight. We all slip up from time to time. I suppose just thank goodness that the two good days were there to cancel out the bad day so that you dont put on weight. I had a couple of days with bad food recently and didnt lose anything that week - it happens to us all. At least I didnt put anything on and did better the following week.

All it really means is that you get to target a few days later than you otherwise would have. The important thing is that you refocus and try not to have another bad day for a while.

Celebrate the kilogram that you have lost (congratulations on that by the way). Try thinking of it in terms of packs of butter and you will see that it is not a tiny amount really.

Targets are nothing compared with an actual event. Give me an actual loss of one pound compared to an intention to lose ten pounds any day!!!

For me, like you, it will have to be as you say a lifelong change. I know that otherwise I will put everything straight back on as soon as I stop.

Take care.
Love
Margaret
