I have such an odd body shape. I need to do more research and see if I can find out why all of my weight is below my bellybutton. I think that I have a great upperbody. My problem is down low. From what I have read, I am sure that I have poor circulation. Quitting smoking is huge, I am so proud of myself. Now I must focus on my body. I hate shopping for jeans. I refuse to wear skirts since I really do have kankles. Everyone thinks that I am lieing when I tell them that is why I only where jeans. Even when I was in the military and did PT every morning... I never had ankles. I can't even explain how it has made my life difficult. I have always had cellulite, but now I am starting to see it on the front of my lower legs. I just dont understand what is going on with my body. All I want to lose is 20-25 lbs. Anymore than that I start to look sickly. It frustrates me so much that when I talk to my friends about losing weight, they just look at me and say that I don't need to or that I am not fat. They never have to see me without clothing. I guess all of those years of camoflauge have paid off. My main goal is to be able to wear a skirt, dress, or swimsuit and not be self-concious of my legs.
 
I did so good today. I took my little Loki and we walked all over town. It was over an hour that we were out. This afternoon I started some massive cravings. I am not sure why they were so strong today. It might be the mixture of Chantix and the Depo shot. It is so hard to take both of them when the side effects are weight gain for both of them. I will be happy if I just stay the same and start losing weight. Eating 4 pieces of cake wont help that..... I have no excuses for that. It is amazing how much better food tastes without smoking. At least tomorrow I will be back at work and I wont have the tempations there. All I have is stress at work. Ok enough whining I am going to do my exercise video now.
 
Hey Angie, glad to see you started your weight loss diary. Will definitely try and keep up with you on your journey.
 
So I am kinda in awe.... I ordered Revitol and it is supposed to be applied 3 times a day to your cellulite areas. There is no way in hell I am going to take it to work and smear it on my butt and hips. So in the morning and before I go to bed I have been using it. Much to my surprise it seems to be working. After so much research I was very reluctant but it never hurts to try. One of the reasons for cellulite is poor circulation. So quitting smoking, drinking more water, exercise, and cutting out fast food are more than likely helping also. All of the articles that I have read say that massage will also help with circulation... that makes me wonder if the mear fact of rubbing this cream in is what is helping. I also ordered these massage pants last night. If you think about it... it does make sence. Now I wish I would have taken before pictures because from what I have seen.... I think I might start liking my butt.
 
I need to stop watching infamercials on Sunday mornings!!! Last night after work me and a couple of friends were going to get some Thia food, but we ended up getting some sushi instead. Sushi is not my friend. I will always try something once, and I am sure I will try a different variety next time. I seriously thought that I was going to have diarehea in the parking lot.... thank God it was just gas. If I am going to splurge again I will definately go someplace where I know I will enjoy the food. So this morning as usual I am up getting ready to take my walking buddy out.... there is an infamercial on that is explaining that you can have five pounds of waste in your colon. I think OMG I need to order this so I can clean out my system. I came to my sences and just took my doggie out for the walk. LOL so I have ordered butt cream for cellulite, a workout dvd, cellulite pants (long story), and a weight loss hypnotizing cd. Now the cream does work, and the dvd's make me do exercise even when I really dont want to, I am not so sure about these pants, and I am going to send the hypnosis cd back. The whole only eat half of your food don't work for me. Before I decided to lose weight I might have ate one meal a day. Right now I am forcing myself to eat things all day. So why would I want to limit what I am eating? That would pretty much put me back where I was. I can tell that eating more food now is boosting my metabolism. I have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I think that is pretty damn good. Now I did talk to my cousin who sells bio-green. She has a system that cleans out toxins, metals, pestacides, and any other bad chemicals that are in your body. I am going to have to ask or do some research to see if it will make my Chantix lose its worth. I really want to get all of the crap out of my body that I put in it for 20 years from smoking. This last week has been great for me. I feel so good about everything, and I always think that things are going to work out. It is amazing how positive I am. I don't remember a time in my life where I was this positive....really don't make sence to me, but I am gong to just go with it. ~Angie~
 
Hey Angie, I was watching the infomercials and saw the Hip Hop Abs and ordered, but I haven't had time to actually do them yet, so I'm hoping that they will come as a good investment because I love to dance and love to learn new stuff.....but I like you am very tempted to buy things from the informercials...and I gotta stop lol How is the weight loss going?
