"Big Girls (You are Beautiful" <-- Mika's song: Nataliejo's Diary.

Hello!!

Hi Natalie Jo!
Just popping in to check out your diary. You're doing fantastic so far. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!:D
 
Sounds like you had a great time at karaoke. You deserve those new shirts you bought ... you've been working really really hard. Sorry the fourth wasn't that great.

Great job with getting to walk today... plus the bike ride. Setting up the tennis net sounds like a fun idea.

Have a good day
~Jenna
 
Hey nat, thought i'd drop by, doing a good job, great job with the walking- I need to start jogging for decent stretches of time- i think it's more the need to challenge myself a bit more, you know? Anyways, tc hun!
 
I also went and bought some new "I have been being good, so now I want to look good, too" shirts. I had not had new clothes in 2 years, because shopping was depressing. I now have 5 adorable shirts to put on and feel cute in. It really helps me to stay on my eating plan when I feel cute. If I feel gross, fat and ugly, then its like "who cares if I eat this, I already look crappy!"
 
Ive been bummed! and it shows it on the scale! Back to 297... three pounds more than I was before...

I took a twenty minute bike outside, than thunderclapped and I had to throw all the windows down ...fed my gineau pig .. Sniffles ... the cat was on the stairs while the thunder was rolling ... the rain was pouring ...now everything is just wet and
I am afraid to go outside because we are supposed to have this weather all night ..
but ...but ...I am going to work out on the work bench ..and work on all parts of my body ...as much as I can ..

anyway my food intake has sucked .. Ive been eating out of boredom and I think the loss of Alex is hitting my finally ...after three and a half years you can still miss someone even though they treated you awful most of the time ..

Now I NEED to drag my butt of the miserable floor and do something about it ...
I did volunteer at the library today and put a card catalog together, just need to finish it Friday ... my librarian is excited I am coming in ...but she says soon they will be using computers .. which means digital all the way .. I will have a lot to learn ... goody!! I am so looking forward to it ... this is what I will be doing for the rest of my life ..and socializing with people on books ...there was one volunteer there that had always wanted to be a librarian and said she regretted not going into the field, but now she volunteers ... I was like ...wowser! I am not missing this opportunity .. I think I could get a full time job at the library I am volunteering at ...they said they hire as long as I have a four year degree ... goody!!

well talk to you later folks ..
hope everyone else is doing awesome!

The eating out of boredom used to get to me too. Now I ask myself every time I walk into the kitchen for a snack...Are you really hungry or are you bored... I get myself a huge glass of water with lemon and give it 20 minutes then ask myself again. Then if I really am hungry I can choose a healthy snack instead of just grabbing the first thing I see.
Losing someone after a long relationship is hard. A big part of your life is missing but remember, you can't fill it with food. It will take time but we're all here for you! Keep up the good work and you'll see the scale go down again.:D
 
Hola lovely lady,

Thanks for stopping by my diary! So I was thinking. You like writing. I like writing. Maybe after this weight loss journey is over we can write a best seller together about losing weight. Not one of those cheesy " burn fat in 101 days" sort of deal. More like the journey of two people or three or whatever to reach their weight loss goal, with the hurdles of life thrown in between. Just an idea. I'm a dreamer right now. I was hoping to save up some money and take a creative writing course or two before I embark on actually writing something decent that has the slightest potential of getting published.

Anyhoo, you take care. Keep up the good work Nat! If I can do it so can you. You're my inspiration, so yeah...you better keep at it!! lol

Love,
Misty
 
Even if Alex was a jerk, you are still going to need time to mourn the loss of a relationship. Be sure to let yourself do that...only then can you really move on. :Hugs:
 
Oh, and I answered your measurements question in my diary (I put it there to answer several people at once). If you have any other questions let me know!
 
As it's been said, jerk or not, it's still hard!

3lb is not much - could just be water retention. Don't let it bring you down. I always feel a few "bad" days once in a while are not bad. They keep me sane and in the long run, they have probably helped me losing weight.

Keep up the good work :) we all believe in you!
 
Hello there

How you doing today?
It will be hard for a while he has been a part of you life for 3 years so you will be sad, down upset now he has gone BUT once you have got your head back to the place you were before you will love it, you will get your confidence in yourself back and be happy and not have the stress of him in the back of your mind.

3lb isnt that bad and with all the walking you do i be that will be off before you know it add a few of those sprints and you will be loosing more than 3lb
So when your ready (dont try before as it wont work) get back into your highly motivated mind and go for it.

Hope the library goes well and you make a really good impression so they will be begging you to work there once you have your degree!!!

Just popping in to say hi! I hope things go well for you at the library. And it sounds like you're doing well to keep active even when it rains. Keep it up and those few extra lbs will melt right off.

Thanks Beauty,
I have been pretty bummin' actually .. I am going to try something I haven't done for over a year ... I am going to do aerobics in the house.. I think I need to .. I was just outside to play with a puppy and the family next door and I ran out of energy ..the heat is horrid sometimes .. Im so used to the senventies now ...

but I think some at home exercising won't hurt

thanks for writing in my diary!

The weather around here has just been awful... up and down... my body can't get comfortable and adjusted.

Aerobics at home sounds fun... I wish I could get my apartment clean so I can do some exercise at home... no motivation for cleaning ... I hate it.

As I said in my journal in response to your question... Martial Arts sounds AWESOME!!!

Have a good evening

Hey.. I will do a read on your diary about the measurements ..
but its awesome you have gotten new shirts and don't feel depressed about shopping.. I used to feel depressed when I was around 314... I thought it was hopeless than I started making changes ...but I am inbetween sizes .. so I should probably wait on buying anything more... :)

Hey Lula,
it was just water retention ..seems so anyway ...
I have come down to 295 and plan to work out once my parents leave the house ...

I will try to not let it bring me down ... it seems like all I ever do is lose than gain double the amount of weight back .. I am trying to prevent that from happening ...
and you and everyone writing in my journal helps me remind myself that I can do this and I have others here who are being helpful to my cause as I am to theirs ..
Your posts are much appreciated!
