A new beginning :)

Hi all :)

It has been 6 years give or take, since I was here last. I weighed around 135kgs. Alot has happend since... not all good, not all bad.

I met a guy 2009, fell in love yada yada, things didnt go too well during the 4 years we were together, drugs, alcohol, lots of munching, and weight rose up to 155kg. Year ago we broke up. First I was heartbroken, but then my eyes opened and I couldnt believe what an idiot I had been. When people say "Love is blind" ... It really is. I didnt have any friends during my 4 years with him, because he didnt let me have them. I was holed up in our apartment pretty much everyday. I played video games, ate, drank, smoked weed, and just ravaged my fridge. I was depressed, and abused. I started getting panick attacks when I had to go out alone, and life just really was crap.
now this past year, well technically last year. I have been single for a whole year now, and I couldnt be happier. in 6months during january 2013 - june 2013 I somehow, I even dont know how. went from 155kg to 139kg. I dropped weed, and didnt munch as much during that time, I went out to the night clubs to shake my booty with my best friend who I had lost contact for 5 years. We rekindled, and she, and her fiance have been suchs a big support for me. I would not be here without her, literally(first part of 2013 was very dark for me). I drank quite heavily, every weekend, sometimes during week with my gaming friends. But I still lost the weight.
I dropped drinking so heavily during summer, and did it once a week, and not as much. I got to 133kg by september, from there I got depressed again, and my weight just rose back up to 142kg.
Now, I took myself from the neck and made the decision again to work hard with losing weight. It has been 3 days and today I weighed 139.7kg wich made me happy.

I hate excercising, specially walking outside, I feel like everyone is staring at me, and im uncomfy.
I started doing abs and squats at home, and since I LOVE dancing(I cant dance, I just look like an idiot but I just love it) I have started to randomly dance around my house, making my kitties run in terror to a safe place to stare at the crazy cat lady :D Now my tigh(spelling?) muscles hurt, but it feels good aswell.
I dont currently work, so I have free time, which is my enemy, I get bored, and boredom leads to eating. I have managed it now somehow, since I eat small meals 4 times a day, heavier in the morning ( egg, sandwich, ALMOST whatever I feel like), and during the day I just take snacks, like a fruit, tuna, or suchs. My evening eating is my mortal enemy, and my weakest point. Need to get that in control. I try to check out my calories, and stay around 1400 a day.

I dont have many people I can talk to about my weight problems, and I tend to lose motivation to do it, thinking "Ill do it tomorrow", and I feel like a failure when I eat something im not supposed to and give up. I hate it. and this time im trying to push myself.

Time to go jiggle and wiggle to good music :)
 
I wasted 10 years TEN!!? with a husband who made me lose nearly all contact with friends, and who was sulking for days when my family came over and taunted me when I wanted to diet. I have felt free and on a lovely vacation since my divorce.
I'm glad you are free from your past relationship and are starting to focus on yourself and your health. Welcome back!
 
I know how that goes, my 3 year relationship with my ex-fiance was similar, minus the drugs. We stayed in every night and ate pizza, fast food, every bad thing you can think of. It was not healthy. I had no friends, and on top of it, he was cheating on me. I kept giving him chances because I felt like I could do no better. I finally took my life back when I broke up with him a few years ago.

I gained most of my weight back though xD happiness can be just as bad if you don't stay in check!

Just remember that even if you slip up, you can start again. Never give up. Keep yourself motivated by coming here, even if all you do is talk to yourself. This place is great for venting.

You can do it!
 
Thank you both :)

So far it has been going great. I have stayed under 1400 calories a day, and done 70minutes of random crazy kick ass dance moves :3
Today I weighed myself and im down to 138.8kg. My goal is to be 130kg in 2 months, then 125 in 2 months, and so on :) realistic goals so I wont let myself down so bad by failing.
Ive felt really great ever since I started to excercise, and move around more, I just hope this feeling lasts :)

Time to go eat breakfast. I hope you all have great days/nights/evenings/mornings :D
 
Exercise is where I fail most. I feel tired ALL the time, so it takes an effort. I hope to get more energy as I get healthier. So long as you get your eating straight you'll be on the right path :).
 
Today I only did 30mins of random exercising, and friend asked me out so I consumed a bit under 2000calories , and tomorrow its a big party. ah well :) tomorrow is my day "off" from exercise, mainly because were going out clubbing, and im gonna be bouncing up all night (plus day time, helping friend clean, and shopping spree time).

The only minus with this whole thing is that I keep getting a headache everyday. Not sure if its me dropping cola light and drinking water or what (friend says it might be the caffeine).

@Loch : I used to feel tired all the time, but I just forced myself for couple days to do stuff, and I have been feeling more energetic, thus making me move more.
Also I eat 4 times a day, kind of. heavier breakfast, yoghurt as a snack, my main food, and in the evening ill take a fruit or something. However I do feel hungry, mainly in the evenings, which is annoying as hell!

Anyway, time to go :)
 
I get headaches when I don't drink caffeine, so that's probably it. It's a good thing to cut out of your diet, so stick with it!

When I get very hungry at night I have something low-calorie and force myself to go to bed, because otherwise I'll snack all night lol.
 
Stole this from Loch :3

1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?
Current weight is 138.8kg, goal is to be 75kg, but I will be satisfied with 85kg. Im losing weight to be, and feel healthy.
to be able to run, and dance without people staring. To feel myself beautiful.
 
So, yesterday was a disaster. I ate a quick breakfast, downed a banana for a snack, then my bestfriend and her fiance took me for a lunch where I they "forced" me to taste and eat these special potatoes that looked like frenchfries but were much softer, and chicken nugget looking filets, after that I drank a vodka bottle alone later and 2 beers x.x and ate a pizza while being totally smashed. I really need to quit drinking, in my defence tho we only went drinking and partying due to friends cousin coming from another part of the country to visit her :)
I wont let yesterdays disaster to stop me! I still am standing at 138.8kg which is ok. Today is my resting day, mostly due to the fact that I have a massive hangover, and my feet are killing me from yesterdays walking, and dancing in new shoes x.x

2. Describe your dream/goal body.
The dream is to be healthy, and look good. Be able to go to the beach without people staring.
I want to be able to wear skintight top, without my belly hanging everywhere. I dont mind muffintops, small ones, I think they look nice.
I want to be curvy, but not fat. I dont want a sixpack or suchs. Just so a guy can lift me up without popping a vein in the brain :D
 
I'm glad I never got into alcohol, there's so many calories in those drinks! I recommend cutting back to a "special" occasion once a month, something to look forward to. If you do it once a week then it can be decremental to your weight loss (unless you limit to one or two drink, just as with food, counting calories in drinks help). Regardless, you're doing good by understanding that it was a slip up and you can do better. Never let a bad day drag you down!
 
Indeed, I'm not planning on drinking again until a special occasion rises. Drinking alcohol one day kinda ruins it for 3 days for me, the day I drink, day after, and I still feel tired day after that. So no more! :)

The scale showed 139.5kg today, bummer, but then again, what do I expect from a night out being a piggy :p Today I have to start exercising again no matter how tired I feel right now.

3. Is your UGW in an unhealthy range of BMI?
Apparently its still overweight, However... Overweight vs seriously obese? Yeah, ill take the the overweight, and work from there ;)
 
There has been alot of up and downs, but im at 137.5 kg so thats ok, atleast its not back to 142kg or 155kg.

I bought myself a corset, and its like a non surgical gastricbybass :D I cant eat as much as I used to, and I have to sit straight all the time, which is good :D

been walking a bit more, and tried to not munch as much, I kinda gave up on counting calories cause it just made me feel worse, so so far its been alright like this, shall see next week how its going :) hopefully good!

4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try!
 
I am sorry you had to go through that, but you just need to surround yourself with positive people. Its not bad to drink alcohol you just have to limit it like you have been.
 
Hi Lilhun :waving:

Sounds like you are on a positive path after all the negative, don't let the occassional slip put you off, you're doing great :D

I too have an issue with alcohol, mainly wine, love a drinkie! But I know how calorie loaded it is and how it derails my good intentions! lol So I am going to avoid completely for a while :)

Stay positive and keep up the great work :D
 
Havent had much time to write. Things have been going pretty well.
Been playing pc games like usual, and having fun with friends as usual.
I have got my weight down to 130.5kg :) pretty damn happy about it.
My goal is to be 128kg end of this month, I think I can make it, if not, well then next month :D nothing is gonna stop me now!
