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

[nataliejo]

Well today is a good day. I was not a sugar hound today. I did eat two yogurts and one cup of cheerios ..the bland cheerios ..and one cup of skim milk ...and thats all I have had so far ...

I will be having boneless, no fat, chicken breast and a marinade with it ...

and I plan to have broccoli and four tbls of white potato for a change. And that will be my dinner ...

and I might have one 3.5 oz of jello cup... for dessert...

Well yesterday we bought me the cutest and hottest jeans .. on the back pocket of one pair is a quilted patch and on the other one they have thread weaved ..a thick thread, weaved around the pockets of my new pants ..

my bf bought me four shirts today ..
two beautiful tank tops ..that I will be wearing for walking ... one for today ... I need more of them ..its getting warmer here again ...

and He bought me one sweater with a hoodie for late fall ..early winter seasons ... and I will be walking in it during that time to keep warm while running out of much breath .. I plan to keep my walking up all winter..

Anyway ..and he bought me this lovely shirt with lace across the tank top inside and a beautiful red designer way of approaching big busted women ..it is a beautiful shirt ... lol

I bought some watermelon today with yogurts and a diet ice tea from the Peak company ..a new company ..who doesnt use splenda ..who uses aspartame ..can't take splenda ... makes me violently ill ..but the aspartame doesnt ...

anyway I plan to go for an hour or an hour to fifteen minute walk...

thanks for listening to my ranting ...

You have a sweet and generous BF, according to his gifts the other day! I'd drop over in a faint if my DH bought me clothes! LOL Enjoy them and keep up the great work!

Hi Natalie Jo

Hope that the birthday celebrations were excellent.

If you are allergic to some oils you may have problems with bio-oil - but you may be able to find an equivalent.

I pick up bits of information for my notebook whenever I read anything or see it in a TV program.

My notes on stretch marks are:
- drinking water improves the elasticity of the skin
- moisturisers with vitamin A or E keeps skin supple and application promotes good circulation
- dark marks can be treated by laser
improve skin with the following supplements:
- zinc
- starflower oil
- omega 3 fish oil

I hope that this information is useful to you.

Take care
Love
Margaret

I was ecstatic on My birthday. I wore a masquerade ball mask ..it was purple and green and had partridge feathers on it ... I was so ..uu ..ecstatic ...we went out to eat .. I used portion control all the way .. but I just had to enjoy the dessert lol I begged them not to get me a birthday cake and they didn't .. I just enjoyed my dessert that I shared with my bf ..from Longhorns ...
it was a pastry with ice scream on top ..almost tasted like apple pie ...which I love!

Hi Natalie Jo

It sounds brilliant. You are right not to care about the calories for your birthday. It would be wrong to act otherwise. I am pleased that you had a great time.

The big thing is that you get back on track afterwards and within a few days the additional pounds come straight back off again.

Love
Margaret

I love Mika ... you should listen to "Grace Kelly" its even more awesome ..
there whole album is stokingly hot ...

Anyway Thanks for stopping in Jess!
I did notice your replies on other threads and was thinking of stopping in on your diary .. I will have to do that

Lol .. I threw out the tush this weekend and went all out with birthday celebrations ..lol ..
Went back up to 292 ..but thats ok .. I can lose the two pounds ...with a couple of good walks ..and maybe fit a bike ride in ..
next weekend we are going bike riding down the minute men trail in Somerville I believe ..somewhere around there... guess its pretty easy compared to bike riding in Boston or cambridge .. I would understand ..
you should see my bf drive through Cambridge ..its rather frightening ..lmao

but anyway ..bike riding through Boston should be interesting ..good excersize ..so the tush will be moving ..but kind of scared .. I might get rammed by a gent in a car!
oh well

thanks for stopping in hun

Hey Margaret!
Yea I know ..
I decided today was a day to fill my desires. So I had some taco bell...
and now
I am officially back on my "lifestyle change diet"

I am super happy ...

thanks hun
and about the bio oil .. my mom actually bought me something from Avon ..that gets rid of stretch marks ...do you think something like that would work? its some type of cream ..it smells really good!
It says that it can't get rid of wrinkles that were older ..but it can get rid of the new ones ..the red ones and purples ones ..that just come on ..and can decrease the visiblity of the old ones ...but I dont mind that it can't get rid of the old ones ..nothing I can do now ..except do some weight lifting and what not ..

but thanks hun!

back on track!

[nataliejo]

I can honestly say ..
I don't feel any guilt whatsoever in going to Taco Bell today. I decided to treat my hunny and I and take us to Taco Bell. He loooves Taco Bell and since My diet change has not been able to go

And my friends, that has been since March!
In March I decided when my father came to see me ...
well that was the turning point.
For four years or five I never saw my father.
and he saw me last year and I was a little thinner than I was this march. This March I was at my highest weight 315 pounds
We were at the Double Tree in Cambridge... which is a Hilton Hotel. We did not fit in much. Everyone else was or were brats of their mothers and fathers ...
we are not brats ..we are loved, but were never spoiled or even close to it be our father...

but anyway .. I did not want to leave the room .. I did not want to go use the jacuzzi or pool ... this was during cold weather lol ... in door pool...anybody would die for one of those ..and no one was there...
but my bf went and stayed out till eleven pm ...enjoying the gym ... they had a treadmill ..enjoying the pool ..he went in his bike shorts ...enjoying the jacuzzi ..he was upset with me ...but I didn't want him to see just how bad it had gotten ...and it was obvious by me not wanting to partake in such wonderful exciting things lol ...
we had the run off the floor ..of the hotel ..they catered to us ..lmao ...
my dad does this when he comes up ..
he is high in the corporate office in NYC and he makes millions of dollars per year ...so he spoils us when he is up ..but we never take advantage of it ...because all we have known is ... simple... with mom ...they are divorced ...we didn't live the high life after a certain point in NYC anymore ..we moved to NH ...the next busiest place for us Was Boston ..and that was and is a cake walk ...
so it was an interesting move! lmao
but anyway ...so I bought this tiny teeny slice of cheese cake ... and I ate it slowly ..and that was the day I decided I would be the next Beinhorn to be running free in a bratty hilton hotel ... lol

so Next March ..I plan to use the jacuzzi ...use the pool ...use everything ..and even have the same cheese cake ..because by than I will just about weigh.....265... and in May I will weigh around 250 ...
but March is when we get together ...

I decided on that evening and the next morning when I saw Dad ..that he was going to see a thinner ..more youthful Natalie ..instead of a blurb in life ... and I was going to do well in school ...top myself and I do ... I get As and Bs ..but I have to work on my reading ...

so No more Taco Bell for another year ... it was nice for today ... the day after my birthday ...but now I am going to continue to make my own food ..the way I have been losing weight

and I will continue to walk ...and I may take up jogging eventually ..because my friend, Steven told me my body might get used to walking and I might have to take it up a step ..but I think I will do that when I go to the gym in November or December ... lol

Anyway so today.. I am happy ..my thirtieth year is going to bring me such joy! absolute heaven ..and every year after this year ..will follow a steady loss of weight and new and beautiful me .. I shined today ..and I think my bf noticed ..

Hi natalie jo,

Well done on your weight loss so far! Nothing can stop you from reaching your dream weight now... Not even Taco Bell

And I'm glad you're back in touch with your father. I haven't spoken to mine since the year 2000 and the pain only gets worse the longer it goes on. Never forget your pops.

Best of luck,

~Colin

 

[Lagniappe]

Hi Nataliejo! Your progress so far is inspiring. And I agree that you shouldn't be angry at yourself for occasional lapses such as on birthdays or special occasions. Life is too short, ya know? The important thing is just not getting derailed, and getting back with the program. You're doing great!!

 

[nataliejo]

Thanks Colin!

Hey Colin..
So right you are! I love my dad!
But he found out my weight last night and doesn't exactly believe I can lose the weight ..hmm ...but now I am in a size 22 ... my belly hangs out a little over the belt area ..so I just stuck with my size 24s .. I figure by December I will be in a comfortable size 22! exciting news!

Hey natalie jo,

Just remember that you can achieve any amount of weight loss if you put your mind to it. People have been known to lose incredible amounts of weight before. Do you have a long term target or are you happy simply to lose a few dress sizes?

[nataliejo]

Hello all,
Well I pulled up my "stair stepper" from the basement ... last time I was on this thing I weighed only 275...

or something like that ..
I just tryed it out for a second and my right leg instantly felt the crunch ... it was good , but crazy ... I dont know how long I am going to last on it ..but I will shoot for thirty minutes and if I need to give my legs a break for a few seconds .. I will

I think this will be very difficult ..usually
I used this for getting ready for hikes ... and I don't get to walk up many hills ..so this ..will be a good thing ...

love yas guys and gals
