Confessions of a food Junkie

Sorry to hear about the fight with the best friend, but good for you channeling that into gym motivation!! Great job!! And soo glad to hear your doctor's appointment went well. I was worried about you!! But what he said makes since I guess. Hang in there!! :D:D:D
 
Awww bugger about being sick, Get well soon!

Re the friend,
I realize you might have been stressed and having a crap day, and probably nurvous. But perhaps she was also having a bad day. These female hormones combined with lack lf sleep PMS or anything else vaguely female causes great rifts!

Sleep on it for a week before saying/doing anything you might regret , Good best friends are hard to come by, hell even mediocre best friends are hard to come by :)

My best friend of 14 years pisses me off no end at times, i just generally stay away for a week or three and all is forgotten - its great! :D
 
Thanks guys.

I realize we probably need some time and space as My mother always told me if you spend too much time with a person you get sick of them and I guess its true LOL. We didn't talk at all wednesday night or all day thursday and then today until about 4 pm and it all seemed like back to normal. I felt better after that. I just decided to let go and if a situation like this arised again, well then I'll deal with it but until then, there is no point in getting stressed out!

I feel abit better today. I'm not so tired, but my stomach is still acting a bit weird.

Since I'm not in any challanges as of now, I'm not going to weight in for a while. I don't really need to as long as I'm still exercising and eating well and losing inches.
 
glad you feeling a bit better , thats what im doing not weighing my self for abit i only started this weightloss on the second of this month and i got weighed at the docters and i go back at the start of next month so im gonna weigh me self once a month i think
 
You're welcome to join us in the Friday Scale Day (FSD) thread. We weigh every friday, nothing too formal. I like it for the modivation, something to plan for.

Glad to hear youre feeling better & you & your friend made up. My best friend and I are the same way.. fight, not talk forever and wahhoo all is normal again...lol
 
Hey Kallie thanks for the kind words in my journal today. I think your right about the scale. although it helps to know your not back sliding. So don't stay away from it for too long (cause you might get a pleasant surprise).
 
Oh yea...I was thinking once a month...right after TOM....because for me weighing in once a week and never seeing any improvement sucks and then weighing once a month and seeing even just a half lb gone is way better than none for me.

I hope that the number starts going back down since my return to the gym plus taking my lunch, plus cutting out more and more fast food and unhealthy type foods. I'm really learning more and more and doing a little better each day, which I'm really proud of myself for doing. :)
 
I'm really proud of you too Kallie. You have worked so hard, probably twice as hard as I have. I just wish you were getting the results you were after. But if your buiding muscles thats fantastic! that means you'll burn more fat with all your efforts. I'm really rootin' for you girl! Keep it up!
 
Iwan ~ Thankyou for your kind words! I highly doubt I work harder than anyone. My thing is I aim to do the best I can and that is what counts. A lot of the times I could do better, but I'm learning...slowly learning.

P~ Hey girl..you're kicking butt. Way to go and thanks for stopping in.

WEekends going well so far. Today hubby and I are taking our son to the movies...either flushed away or Happy Feet. I'm still working on my essay...slowly chipping away at it, but I think it's going to be a really good essay. I feel like it's my best work yet. I've also got to read 2 childrens short novels plus a wack load of childrens picture books. I have to finish the work for my author/book presentation, which is a couple write ups and a handout, plus tomorrow I have to make the display for the author and books.

Then next weekend, I have to write a children's book and illustrate it. I'm doing a cross cultural book that deals with gender issues. It's about a boy who would like to be a princess for halloween and his best friend (a girl) wants to be a fire fighter or a constuction worker...something like that anyways. THe girls parents say great! Girls can do whatever boys can, so she can be whatever she wants for halloween. She tells this to her boy friend and he goes home and asks his parents why boys can't do everything girls can do, but that girls are allowed to do whatever boys can do. To me, its a very interesting concept...as I have a little boy and well I try to imagine that I would be supportive of whatever decisions he makes in life.
 
Welp...I ended up staying at school until 12am tonight. I still have about another 1 to 2 hours worth of work left.

I didn't get to gym tonight, but on wednesday I will :)
 
Hey guys....be a couple days. eek!

so I went and saw the dietician(sp??) It went well. I have to go back in 3 weeks. I have to keep a very detailed food journal for the next 14 days so when I go back we can discuss it. She gave me some better ideas of what I should be eating and what to look for in certain foods specifically, which is great.

We discussed things I never thought we would. She asked me what age I started my growth spurt and how much I weighted and then how old I was when I finished most of my growing and how much I weighted then. When I started I was 10 and I weighted 95 lbs and then when I was pretty much done I was 12 or 13ish and I weighted about 135lbs. She asked me what my previous doc's had advised for a goal weight and I told her I had been told between 132 and 155 (being on the very high end). She said that was totally unrealistic because my juvienille (sp??) weight was 135, so I should shoot for 180 ( a good healthy weight for me) and that 155 would be on the extremely low side for me and that I would most likely have a very hard time maintaining there. I was really surprised. Hmm who knew...not me. I think I'm still going to shoot for between 140 and 150 though and if I can only manage to maintain 155 in a healthy manner than so be it.
 
Hi Kallie!! Thats very interesting to me, I was 132lb my the time I was 13. I always thought that I should shoot for 150 too, hmm.. I guess I need to talk to my doctor. :D

Good Luck!! :D:D
 
lol @ weighted - i think you meant weighed :D

Good for you though seeing a dietition.

Id be happy with 150 to be honest!
 
Hi Kallie - I'm trying to get through as many diaries as I can and guess what, it's your turn :D :cool:

I've only read back a few pages and wow! Seems like you're been on a heck of a journey already! What I can tell is that you have drive and determination and you're doing all the right things. When you do finally reach the end of your journey you're going to look back on all this with such pride, and you'll deserve all the praise in the world, just as you deserve it now.

*leaves a hug for kallie* :)
 
Hey Guys!

Omg I need to read what I type before I hit submit me thinks (and just the plain fact that I can't spell doesn't help either LOL).

P~ It can never hurt to check things out with you doc. My doc told me that Christina (the dietician) would know better because she specializes in weightloss.

Wishes ~ Your right. I would actually be happy with whatever final weight as long as I'm rid of all this fat and extra stuff.

Stan ~ Thank you for your visit, I hope to see you often. :) Thank you also for your kind words. They mean a lot to me and keep me going when I start to stumble.

HELL YEAH! :D

Even though im not at my goal yet, im a LOT happier with myself than i was. Hell im just happy to loose anything at all really, but the bonus/kicker would be to get to the goal weight of course.

Good luck with the dietition.
 
Welp,

THis past month I have been horible to myself! I am truely disappointed in myself. I've been really good durning the day. I took my lunch everyday except 2 days and then I didn't eat that badly on the lunches I didn't take *chicken caesar pita stuffed with veggies* but at night I let my crazy schedual become an excuse to eat poorly at night. Last night was the first time I cooked in I think 2 weeks. :eek: I didn't go to the dub or tim's but I know better. IT's time to refocus over the holidays. I will NOT allow myself to overeat and punish my body and health. I am kicking my own butt right now!

To start off, I did a workout video for 30 minutes and I plan to do it 2 times a day until I can make it through the whole thing (53 minutes). Man do I feel the burn in my legs and bum right now!
