My walk was incrediabe this afternoon and if my hubby isn't too tired from working overtime, then we may go for a family walk tonight.
Man do I feel full. I think my stomach is shrinking. Ohh and something I realized is that I have not snacked for almost 2 weeks. I feel so satified by my meals during the day and I only watch 1 hour of t.v. a night, plus the walk I don't have time to snack. this is the life!

Thanks Pinny,
I have a little story (T2 Style) about this.
Almost a year ago (1 year in sept) I started my first year of university. I was scared crapless and I knew I'd be the biggest person in my class. I had such a negative outlook in life but I was in complete denial about that. I thought just because I pasted or hid behind a silly smile on my face, that it would make me seem to be happy and positive to all, inlcuding myself.
Well, that was all to come to an end very soon. This woman in my class came up to me and asked " Can I tell you something very honestly without you taking offense?" and I replied "sure" not knowing what she was going to say. She continued " I don't mean this to hurt your feelings, but you are a very negative person...." I was shocked. I was hurt and angry and yet I smiled and nodded.
Over the next 10 months, me and Diane become very close friends and still are. I am more aware of my true self in life and more so around her, because she is so honest. She knew how I really felt inside without me ever saying a word and I didn't even know it myself. I had the most hard time making friends and I thought it was because people didn't like me because of my size. I was soooo wrong. I had built this wall up around me from being hurt so many times and the wall was so high, no new people could get in.
I've worked my butt off dealing with these emotions and insecurities about my weight in the past 11 months. I've only finally reached the point where I can begin to take back control from people who have hurt me in the past and move on. It is a consious effort on my behalf to be positive in the small things and it is in taking joy in the small things, that we can truely be happy.

Don't you just love that feeling? I love it when I walk up my driveway knowing I just did an awesome walk. I also love it when I my muscles are all twitchy after a walk. It remindes me that they got a good work out.
Good for you!

I can totally relate to the emotions and the wall that we sometimes put up.. often without even realizing it till its too late.
I'm always the biggest girl. In my family, in my circle of friends... even walking in public I'll see a girl twice my size, and still think she's more beautiful. But we need to break out of these chains and realize that we would'nt be here unless we were each individually special and WORTH it.
I believe in you!!! Well done!

Just a bit of advice coming from someone who once weighed 422 lbs., keep the positive attitude that you have now and you will be successful. I admire the fact that you take the time to come on here and post all that you do. Keep up the great work!

I like your story, and it sounds like you have a lot of the hard work behind you! I really am convinced that losing weight is pretty easy - it's the getting ready to lose weight that is hard. How do so many of us spend so many years wanting to be thinner but never making it there? I think it is because you have to lay a strong emotional foundation for weight loss, and then you just build the new you brick by brick - pound by pound - on top of that rock solid foundation.
You spent the better part of a year taking down your wall and building your foundation - now you just have to build the beautiful new body that will come of hard work and dedication. Keep it up!

Pm ~ Thanks for dropping by my diary. Thank you for your kind words.
L ~ Trust me, I worked hard for my positive attitude...don't plan to lose it ever
TM ~ Thanks. It takes serious commitment to resolve those kinds of thinking, and I love your analogy. It is so true! I won't give up ever. This is a new life for me.
I just got back from day 2 of my 2 mile walks. I'm so pumped. Before I went on my walk, I was craving Pizza 73, but I feel so much better after my walk than eating a bunch of pizza...I'm still working on what my mind holds true, but it's coming along nicely.

OH Miss K!
I'm so happy to hear about your walking! And you said it, the feeling when I walk back in the house is PUMPED!
I just lost my walking partner for the next three weeks, she's on vacation starting today and I am SO not motivated to go - but I'm up, I'm dressed and I know how good it feels when I will walk back in that door!
You're doing great sweetie! It's amazing how far we can come in a year isn't it? Our mind set is EVERYTHING!

Mal ~ That was my plan. I think I'll do ok. IF I have to, I go make a trip into town and get a dew groceries to last the weekend and then that I can control.
NP ~ Thanks. By posting my schedual, I'm more likely to stick to it and get my stuff done. I forgot to do that saterday and sunday and I had a bad sunday and monday. WHo would think that writing out a schedual would make that much difference eh?
M2M ~ You do amazing with your walks. I know for sure you'll be out there pounding the pavement. I always try to keep that end feeling in mind for motivation and it helps a lot.
I swear, my scale lives to taunt me. It was fine on monday and now it isn't working right again. LOL when I got on it, it said I weighed 165...for amazing loss of 150 lbs hahaha. Yea right....Dh is going to go buy a new one so I can weigh in today.

I really admire your attitude. You are probably a lot closer to your goal than some of the rest of us on this forum because your head is totally in the right place. (Mine is still stuck somewhere up my butt.. ) Congrats on the 2 mile walks- you're doing a great job!

Hey Guys, I'm kind of fustrated right now. I Just got a new scale and it tells me I'm 317.5. I'm sad and a little fustrated. First because I really don't know for sure my start weight and now because I'm heavier than I thought I was.
I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to with staying in my range of calories, even blow the range for losing 1-2 lbs a week range and I've been exercising and drinking lots of water.
What am I doing wrong??? Please, if you have any suggestions, I'm listening.
