Be Gone "bump"

Hi,

I am not new here, I have been here before but as always fell away from the site booohooo!
So to explain the thread title - On Friday I was in my lift at work. A woman got into the lift and implied that i was pregnant - she even went as far as to point at my tummy and call it a "bump". Well of course I was completely mortified and did not know what to say - my face was throbbing purple with embarrasment.
So here I am - operation underway to get rid of said "bump" So on Saturday I went for a 2 mile run, walked for 4 miles, I ate 30g of cornflakes for breakfast, a baked potato with tuna and salad for lunch and for dinner I ate a pizza - homemade with no cheese so was basically jst the bread and passata and topped with pepper mushroom and ham and I also had a bottle of wine.
On Sunday I had rice krispies for breakfast, a tin of weight watchers spicy mexican bean soup for lunch along with a snack pack of grapes and for dinner I had pasta bake and later for a snack i had some pineapple.
Today I've had 30g of cornflakes, lunch was a cous cous salad with muller light yogurt, snack was a snack pack of grapes and dinner was turkey steaks with broccolli and rice and snack was a low fat chocolate mousse.

So I suppose everyone needs a mortifying experience to loose a bit of weight and for me this is it. Equally a few yrs ago I weighed 18stone and went on holiday once and the seat belt on the plane did not fit so I had to get one of the special ones for pregnant women. After that I swore I would not be that person again and went on to loose 2 stone. Last year I got down to 14stone but from August onwards it's piled back on.

So here I am again in a quest to loose weight to make sure that no one ever implies that i am pregnant again........watch this space xx
 
OK so I'm feeling really sorry for myself, I hoped to get a bit of motivation but nothing so far. I feel just trapped and lonely and a little down in the dumps, result is I've ate a huge bag of crisps and a chip butty for dinner and now feel like I want to cry
 
sorry your having a rough day :( Wish i could help! Maybe it would do you some good to do some kind of visual therapy? visualize in your mind, or imagine, you getting thinner. Passing up on the chips and going for a walk instead! How good would that feel!? Remind yourself that your worth this effort and it will all pay off in the end!
 
Oh honey, that must have been so horrible :( Stupid woman who made you feel like that!! Keep logging your food and getting walks in, you'll be dropping pounds before you know. Stay motivated!!
 
I cannot believe how rude some people can be. Don't let it get to you. I just wanted to let you know that we are here to support you. I was where you are now but I was A LOT bigger. I started out at 320 pounds. I am now 175. If I can do it- so can you!! This forum is a great place for support and information to help you lose weight. Sounds to me like you are an emotional eater. I was too - ate when I was happy, sad, angry, breathing-lol, etc. The thing I had to do was to find a substitute for the eating when I felt those feelings. I started walking then running. It was a great substitute and it helped me lose weight. You just have to find your substitute. It could be walking, biking, swimming- whatever stops you from eating outside of your normal meals. You can do this!! Don't worry about what other people say or think. Do this for yourself!! Good Luck!!
 
It really sucks when others bring it to life. I never thought I was fat, when a few years ago I was playing floor hockey, and an actual fat guy scored a goal, and line changed with me. I was giving a high five on his way off, and he was like "now it's your turn, us fat guys need to stick together". I thought I was chubby, but I didn't recognize I was in the same league as him.

It didn't motivate me, but just hurt my ego. Years later, I can look back and see that he was right.

Eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle has been it's own reward for me. The weight loss itself has been a bonus!
 
Thank u all so much, it was just what I needed. I didn't mean to sound so needy but I can't explain how much better I feel reading all your replies. So I have stopped feeling sorry for myself and tomorro is a new day.
I will post my eating and activities everyday. Thanks again guys I hope to get to know u all a bit better xx
