Bedsy's Journal

Thanks you guys!
I always feel so much better after talking about it. This morning I feel good and positive for the road ahead.
In fact last night when i was falling asleep i was thinking about how much my attitude had changed towards food.
Alot of the time if I had passed by a shop and really felt like a meat pie or some hot chips or a chocolate bar, I would simply go in and get it, thinking "I might as well, while i am here" And now when that happens, i tend to think "Okay maybe later," or "I'll get it next time"

I had a great day with my food yesterday!

Breakfast was my usual carrot, apple and giner juice with my rockmelon and watermelon.
Lunch was my grilled chicken sanwhich on vienna brown bread with lettuce tomato and lots of ketchup.
Then I had a cup of coffee.
Wnet home from work and ran for 45mins and did 40 crunches.
Then for dinner i ate some fish and veggies.
Then for a snack later on, i had some pretzels.
I will try and do the same today except i don't have any fish left for diner, so i will have chicken instead with veggies and gravy.
I'll see if i can manage to leave a smidge early to day soi can run a but longer too.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today! :D
 
Congrats on a great day of great food choices!

You are right about an attitude to food, I use to feel like food controlled me like I needed all the crap....now after nearly two months I can quite clearly see that I have control and I don't even get cravings...:D

You are doing brilliantly!
 
I'm with ya! Going cold turkey on fast food was something I never thought I could do.. but was surprisingly easy once I knew that I was going to actually do it...
 
It looks like you and me are trying to loose weight in the same way i.e. eating healthier. It does get easier as you go on I think which is great. You're doing really well so far though so keep it up and have a great weekend!
 
It’s hard to get use to people commenting on your weight, usually it’s the one subject they avoid with us lol. When you get a complement though hun just say thank you and move on. It is amazing what feelings can be brought up with the weight loss, just take it on day at a time though mate and deal with things as soon as they come up. I would say the author is right. Its time to live life though hun, it’s to short to be hiding away.
Your diet and exercise are looking good, keep up the hard work.
 
Hey you guys,

Sorry I haven't been on for the last few days. They have restricted everyone's access to message boards at work so now I only get to post at nights, which sucks the big one, so I'm not very happy! lol.

I guess I have been going okay lately. Freaked a bit on Friday night and had 2 pieces of Pizza at one of my friends house. I sorta hadn't planned on going there, but He invited me to go over at watch the footy with him and without even thinking about dinner, I said yes. So I ate two pieces of pizza and some ritz crackers :eek: whoopsy.

Thanks so much Mumma for coming to check up on me and getting me back up to page one! It brought the most biggest smile across my face, I swear my brother must have thought I was going mental smiling at my computer like that. You'll be happy to know that unless there is absolutely no other option I still, um and ah over junk food now instead of just buying it like i did in the past. Today I walked 2 suburbs away to a shopping centre because I didn't really feel like going running today. I got there and instead of buying a toasted sandwich, cafe breakfast or worse yet, McDonals for breakfast, I went down to the market and bought a pear a mandarin, went back to McDonalds and bought one of those little servings of special K. They didn't have any skim milk left so I just got the cereal and went to the gloria jeans coffee and asked to buy a small cup of skim milk for my cereal. If i had have been with someone I'm sure they would have just said "Urgh, so much trouble for one cup of milk, I'll just have the full fat milk," but when i sat down and ate my fruit and cereal, I felt so emotionaly fulfilled for making the right choices. I felt really good.
So i window shopped for about an hour, the got bored and walked all the way back home.
Then for lunch I decided to walk to subway for a roasted chicken with, jalepenos, lettuce capsicum and olive. I really felt like spicy southwest sauce, which is not too good for you, so i skipped the cheese and it was great.

Tonight I'm having beef burgundy for dinner with heaps of veggies.

I have realised I have this habit of falling in and out of motivation. I have found that I go heart and soul for a while and then I fall into a slump for a little while and then back to all or nothing. It would be nice to figure out a way to balance the two out, but at the risk of sounding like a cop out, it's really really hard.
When I'm all heart and soul about it, I really can't hold back my enthusiasm for my running and eating well. I really do feel like that, but then when I don't feel like it; I really don't feel like it. I will monitor myself closely though and see how I go.

Hey there Crunchie!! Yes we are both going about our journies in a very similar fashion indeed! I think it's the best way to go about it too, don't you? It's really the only tried and true, realistic option if you want to be healthy is to eat well and exercise. I feel so much better now that I ever have, like even since highschool and I know you will too. Thanks for coming by and I can't wait to get to know you better! Cute little spidey by the way! I love spiders :D But I don't have one.

I was reading over post Rosered, especially the part where you said how it's amazing the feelings that come up with weight loss.
Now I knew that i was insecure, but I really had no idea how deepseated it was and how much it really indirectly affected everything I do.
When you finally make the realisation, it's kind of like "eerr deeer" :p
But I have a feeling that I am definately on the up and up. Like I said to Mumma, it's just like stripping away layers of all excuses for why you tell yourself why you can't do something until finally there ar eno more excuses and the only option is just to go for it. And I definately think I might be getting there. I'm even thinking of asking a guy out, which never would ever have crosse dmy mind before...lik even to a point where if a guy asked me out, i would say no because i wasn't confident enough to be with anyone...waaaaaaay over that :p

I hope you guys are all going great and I miss you guys terribly during the day when i'm at work! Love yas! oxoxoxoxoxoxo

helloooo luver! :p

Hey so great to hear from you...

I am glad I brought a smile to your face...:D

I am a lot like you with the motivation thing, all in or all out....well I used to be, I guess it is like the layers, I have peeled so many away lately in my journey I realise the only person stopping me is me....but boy when I hate running...I HATE running!!!

You are making great choices, and it always feels better after you have made a good choice than following a bad choice....

The kids had freddo frogs today for a treat and it took all my willpower not to eat one....I can't believe I have been 7 weeks without chocolate or cheesecake...when this last 4 kgs comes off I'm having myself a chocolate cheesecake party!!!!!

Look after yourself...and go for it...ask him out!!!
 
:D I have been away alot....

erm...

because he said yes. And I have been going out alot with him. he is so sweet.
 
Good on You

Well done girlfriend for grabbing the bull by the horns...so to speak ...lol I've missed you round here though...:cool:
 
I have missed you too! It's so stupid that they have blocked messageboards at work!! It's killing me! And I need it now more than ever!

I am so ashamed to admit that I have well and truly hit a motivation slump!
I don't know if it's just because it is so cold at the moment, but I just cannot bring myself to do exercise and I have been comfort eating.
I need to stop, but i'm not sure how, because i'm not really sure why I'm doing it.
I know how i have said before that people saying things about my weight loss freaks me out for some reason.
Well it's been happening ALOT lately. Mostly people at work saying stuff to me.
I don't know if that might have anything to do with it. Or maybe it's all of those things. I really don't know.

I need help! :(

I will see how I go this week, and if I really am not doing any good, I might have to sit down with a professional of somekind and get some advice. Whether it be a nutitionist, and personal trainer or a psychologist.

BLURGH WINTER!!!! :(
 
It is so easy to slip back into old habits isn't it.....remember that 13.5kg is a sh** load of weight and YOU did it!!!!

Is it failure that worries you? I know I am like that, it is like I will sabotage myself rather than fail, even if I'm doing well.

Talking to someone would really help....I'm here, my email is .... lulu_frances@hotmail.com

On a lighter side....the warriors won today....lol granted your honey wasn't playing:D

Well my 2 day break was like a god send to me, made me realise that my diet isn't really a diet now, because I choose to eat that way anyway....lol I did have cheesecake this weekend which isnt on the diet...but I have to be able to do this sometime anyway....anyway back to the hard work of exercise again tomorrow.

You will get there girl!:D

You know what, in a weird bizzare kind of way, I think it's success that scares me...i don't know why i think that, i just do. I have never been a "normal" weight before so all those things that go with it, are new and very scary...things like dealing with the way that people treat you differently and getting compliments and having men flirt with you...it's sounds so silly, but this is all seriously new to me and it freaks me out.

Oh yeah! You can't just give up on cheesecake alltogether, that's just wrong! You gotta have it every now and then. My aunty has promised to teach me to make her extra special baked cheesecake which is too die for! When I know how to make it i will sen dyou the recipe and you can see if you like it.
 
Hello Ladles and Jellyspoons! (No I am not drunk)
For the last 4 weeks i have been really really bad! The weather has gotten really cold, and it's been really hard to exercise. So i haven't done anything for like a month :(
I have also been eating like a bear, pre-hibernation and because of that I have put on 3kgs (double :( )
However! I have given myself a spanking and as of tomorrow, i will be back to normal. I cross my heart hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.

Jess I have missed you sooooo much you don't understand! I'm so glad you are back! :D

And where's mumma?!! You still around?
 
Hee hee sounds like we both need a good kick in the pants...however I am at the other end of things now with people telling me I have lost enough now and am getting too skinny...what a load of crap! Anyways nice to have you back!!! This place has got so big I can't keep up with everyone:p
 
The Dickies Diet! LOL! :p

Okay Bedsy, it's back to it. You know what your goal is, and what you have to do to get there. Winter is almost over, the hibernation period is coming to an end, it's time to get moving again.

My measurements are as follows.

Bust- 40.5inches
Waist- 39 inches
Hips- 44 inches

Short-term goal

Bust-38 inches
Waist-32.5 inches
Hips-41.5 inches
 
Hey Bedsy,

Just wanted to say good to see you've gotten back in the saddle! Keep up the good work...
I just have one question: you seem to go down when the weather is bad. I don't know how the weather is in your part of the world, but here its pretty common when its winter that people get depressed because of lack of sunlight... just a thought:)
Have a nice day:)
 
Thanks Mahatt!
Yeah i know what you are saying about getting down when the weather is bad.
I reckon maybe it's because if it's raining or too cold, and you can't do anything, then it just get syou down because you get restless.
I know I can be pretty lazy, but I am not bone idle. I need to be able to go for walks and move around otherwise i get realy bored.
Maybe it won't be as hard to get back into it as i think...
The other thing is that when the air is really cold, i find it hard to breathe if i'm exercising and then i feel neuseous. I really hate it i'm trying to overcome it, but it's pretty hard sometimes.
 
BEDSY!!! Yay!! Ok, heres the deal- no more dissapearing for you, and no more dissapearing for me!! seriously. Lets kick each others butts, mmk?? lol, I've been in an out the last couple a weeks, and then my stupid computer caught a virus, and then ya know, workin all the time, bleh!! But I officially restarted my exercising FINALLY tonight, so don't leave me anymore, k??

Have a fantastic day tomorrow, and ya know what? I agree, its not gonna be to hard to get back into it considering we've already done it :D
