a Hillbilly diary

Hey Lee,

I've missed you lately. Thanks for checkin up on me.


Congrats on the 5lb loss. You are soooo my inspiration! You're going to pass me if I don't get my arse in gear!
 
hehe Good on ya.
Its weird how the weight loss fluctuates eh, I never loose weight the week of my period but i loose it on the off weeks. I never loose it when im at the gym durnig the week but i loose it on the weekend when i do nothing :)

a lb is a lb though!
 
yea with eating the taco bell stuff on the boat I was really expecting bad news. Then at school there isn't much except the snack machines and the chips over candy is like 200-300 calories for the small bag of chips. About the only thing close by is subway and its ok just I would rather make a sandwich at home. Most of the other classes get lunch breaks but the electronics department every thing is rush rush. I guess there is a lot they have to cram in to your head in two years. I'm thinking about going back for IT/software development. The good thing is I wont have to take my academics again I'll get credit for all of those. It would be an associates as well so I'll see. I'm really looking forward to going ahead for overseas. The school is giving me alot of contacts and right now I'm looking at being a civilian contractor in the middle east. That or Europe someplace. I just have the traveling bug I suppose.
 
ah i know. They just have a more relaxed schedule. It still must be hard though, Because in electronics one class builds on the next. But in that you no sooner learn one than they say scratch that this is unix, forget everything before.
 
As far as clothes, I waited until i was 2 sizes smaller, then bought one track pants and one jeans a size smaller. Meant i had to work still to fit into them and i was REALLY ready for them when i did fit them.
Between those 2 pants and baggy pants and shirts they will have to hold out until im smaller again before i buy again.
I have a sewing machine I was debating just taking a quick zip up the seams of some of my clothes as well. Problem being, that works for 1" but my old pants are at least 6" to big for me.
 
thats the problem im having now. these are really huge. Id buy a cheap set of sweat pants but this texas heat will make me wait just a little longer.
 
Check out ... for your area... it's a yahoo mailing list so use an email address you don't care terribly if it gets junk mail... what thie list is - is people getting rid of stuff cluttering up their closets.. in my area, I see clothes given away all the time... (also exercise equipment.. :) generally - everything is free (it's supposed to be keeping it out of landfills) you just have to go get it...

It's worth a shot to see if anyone is posting clothes the want to get rid of in your area..
 
don't be skeered... you've got your new lifestyle down.. heck you can go to buffets and behave yourself.... :D you will be a lean mean fighting machine.. or something... :D
 
oh man was the sun always so bright...yukkkk, I really have to blacken these windows. Na I'm going to keep the old clothes just as a reminder. The buffets are really easy, you just have to look at it as a big choice not so much all you can hold in an hour. I tell ya the sun hurts for someone so nocturnal lol. My days and nights are so back wards. Well its 11:00 ish and I guess Id better eat some breakfast so people don't vamp out at me lol........
 
Hi there!! Thanks so much for checking in on me and encouraging me, it really means a lot. You're doing a super job!! If you don't get at least one pair of new pants soon you're going to be mooning folks! :D

Doesn't it feel so good when they're too big though? As much as I gripe about mine falling down and having to pull at them constantly...it makes me happy to know that I've lost enough for them to be that big. I understand that you're torn...enjoy it! :D :D
 
Ooooo...I can relate - I have to say I love the fact that my clothes have gotten so big - but there comes a point when it's just not a good look ;)

I'm thinking if you are 2 sizes or more, smaller then the clothes you're wearing, it's time to get some new ones.

I bought a pair of work out shorts last night and it is so nice to have something to put on that fits as it should. It will also be very exciting to see these get loose too!!

Lee - you need some new pants.
I'm pretty much sure of it!

At least 2 pairs of pants and 3 shirts - go...go now...don't wait!!
:D
 
I have always worn tight pants so this feels strange. I always hated when people wore baggies and now here I am in this grunge kinda look lol. The shirts still fit other than the length. I still use the big shirts to hide my chest; its a male ego thing. lets see my shirts come someplace in between my mid thigh. The pants are denim and Id say probably close to two sizes too big. Hey my shoes still fit lol. Clothes are just so expensive; my pants I can get a walmart and such. Being a simple kinda guy I'm just as comfortable in a cheap pair of jeans and not so much into the latest and greatest designers. I guess the main reason for the jeans is any color goes with them. Shirts its pretty much pocket T's. Any place that has a dress code more strict than no shoes no shirt no service I normally don't go lol. Anyway back to the shirts. a 4x 5x is normally about 30.00-50.00.... I guess being fat is expensive. I was always big but with laying on you back for a few years It just shocks you when you find out how big you got.............
 
OK, go buy some pants. You don't want to be walking down the street and then all of a sudden showing people your business! Just one pair....you won't be in them long the rate you are going. I just bought a pair of jeans a couple of weeks ago. I love them and they were on sale so normally I would have bought a few, but I'm hoping they are going to be too big in a month or so! Keeping my fingers crossed for us! I hope you are having a great weekend.
 
When i get paid at the end of the month Ill prob go pants shopping. I might even get some a little tight because at the rate im losing I dont want to have to keep spending money on something that I can only wear a month at a time. I took my belt off earlier to throw the pants in the wash and i tried them on without it lol. yea its time to go shopping. when you let them go and they fall to the floor around you, its time to go shopping lol...
 
Well today is the day I normally go out on my cheat day. I'm wondering however if the cheat day is slowing down my progress. So it seems an experiment is in order. With the cheat day I'm losing 2-5lbs. So if i just go out someplace like Applebees or a place like that that has a diet section, will my weight loss increase or still stay the same.... hmmmmmm
