Elizab3th's Diary : 'Running Away From Fat'

Well I Am Glad I See Your Back In Gear And Motivated! Hope You Have Fun At The Mall And I Know You Can Do It Girlfriend!
 
You're doing great! Fat burners are awesome aren't they! Just remember, your body will adjust a little and you won't feel the "high" quite as much as you do in the beginning so enjoy the extra energy right now.
Keep it up though, you're doing great! :D
 
Hi Liz, hope you're having a good day, I missed you too! Does your Slimquick have St. John's Wort in it? I'm looking for something similar without the St. John's Wort since that interferes with hormonal birth control (especially the pill). I hope you're doing well with it. Don't focus too much on the "buzz". Paula is right, it goes away pretty quickly, but it's fun while it lasts! I got that kind of buzz off the new Tab energy drink (remember Tab? me neither). Take care, OK?
 
heh, sometimes having a nice energy buzz all day is great for your mood :D its a good thing that with these fat burners the buzz doesn't last too long, because I bet after a week of being all jumpy and jittery it would get kind of old - for you and for everyone else around you. So just enjoy it while you can, and take advantage of all that energy!
 
Hi, How was your day? Did you have a good time with your mom and frined? How much have you lost since you seen her last?
 
Hey...sounds like you had a wonderful day. Dont you just love shopping...my new excuse is when i want something for myself>>>i tell my husbad..."I bought this because of the weight I lost..I had to reward myself somehow." And he doesnt say a word. hehe :)
 
Slimquick Day#2

Okie dokie, so I heard more bad news about SLimQuick from my friend - but then again when we went into the health store she asked the GNC guy for a diet pill that you don't have to exercise or diet for rapid weight loss. Sooooo I choose not to listen to her! Haha. I'm so mad, when I saw her I was all like 'oh my god you look awesome!' and all that and she really didn't say much back to me - then I told her later how I don't like my bangs too much and she was just like 'yeeaaah I was thinkin' the same thing too'. *argh* I didn't workout this hard for her to say THAT! To answer your QuEsti0n: I lost 16 pounds since the end of February. BlAH! Skinny friends.

Today ...
Calories - 970 Carbs - 131g Fat - 20g Protein - 50g.. I was going to snack later on tonight but then I looked at my calories over the week and I averaged out to 1206 cals/day, plus I'm not even hungry! So I won't eat anything more for the day... I'm going to bed anyways! Today I ate =
Fat free yogurt
Whole wheat toast (nobutter)
Orange
2 scrambled eggs
Smoothie (Strawberry Banana Bolthouse Juice w/ 1/2 banana, yogurt and 2 tsp. wheat germ)
LeanCuisine - chicken and veggies w/ spagettini & her sauce (mmmmm)
I've been so busy shopping all day I just didn't even get hungry! So yay.. even with my cheating the other day.. it wasn't too bad. Exercise:
30 mins. biking
2 hours shopping? Haha hope that counts:)
20 min speedwalk.
20 min weight training

SaraNoh - that's an awesome idea! Mwahah..
missprincess - haha everytime I think of Tab I think of Back to the Future! LoL... naw it doesn't have St.John's wort and now after I'm hearing all this bad stuff I think its just a crock of ****. hehe. I'm keepin' at it though:)

Well, have a good one and stay POSIT
IVE
 
Diet pills with no exercise and no dieting? Ha-ha! Your friend is really funny. Cmon, if that pill really existed, EVERYONE would be using it by now!!!

You're doing AWESOME! 16 lbs since end of February??? You're kicking ass girl, BIG TIME!!!
 
Don't you just love people, lol. They'll say their your friend but once you start loosing weight, you'r almost like some threat to them. Oh well, shake it off hun. Your doing sooooo well!!! 16 pds since feb?? THAT FANTASTIC!! It really is! I'm so proud of you!!
 
Thanks you guys!! Ahhh.. people like that drive me nuts! I bet that's exactly why - because I'm now some sort of 'threat' again. God, I hate girls. Not you ladies.. but 'girls' - caniving, manipulative, attention-seeking girls. AHHHHHH I'm having such bad morning! I have no food today! The boys left with the toliet overflowing and so I walked into an inch of gross water. And I had the worst dream, I shouldn't even be awake right now!! I've been having really bad dreams since I started to diet - several have something to do with either me or Sean cheating on eachother.. and in my dreams I'm thinking 'no no I'm supposed to be with Sean' or else I just wake up crying, because he's got another girl on his arm. Oh, God I hope that doesn't mean anything. We don't have relationship problems, we've been through everything together so it's not like something's wrong. I've been known to dreams things that come true later on in life though... I hope this time it's just a nightmare.. it scares the shit out of me. I wake up to him feeling guilty sometimes because in my dreams I'm with some other guy, but I'm not happy in them... I don't know.. I'm just venting.. I feel like just bawling... I'm going to go back to bed soon so that I don't notice how hungry I am.
 
Hey honey, shake it off, really. Take a deep breath and move ahead. The weight loss is threatening to your friend, and maybe to your boyfriend who loved you before you started losing weight too and subconsciously our close friends are threatened when we start making positive changes in ourselves because it makes them think either a) they need to change something too and maybe there's something wrong with them or b) you won't want to be around them when you've lost weight. It's totally ridiculous, but their fears aren't logical, they're just gut fears. You almost can't really even discuss it with them because it's not like they're going around saying to themselves, "gee, once Liz is skinny she'll realize I'm not good enough for her". That's a totally stupid thought, but you can't control irrational gut feelings. Just try to be the same you as always in personality and maybe drop subtle hints about how you appreciate your loved ones' support and understanding while you make changes to your health. Even if it's a stretch to call anything they're doing "support", find some little thing, ANY little compliment, any sign of encouragement, something and turn that into positive reinforcement.

As for the bad dreams, this happened to me too a long time ago when I first started losing weight. I think it's our own way of dealing with the same fears that affect our friends when we make changes in ourselves. In a way, the layer of fat insulates us from the rest of the world and you're exposing more of your true self when you don't have to hide behind your food and body image issues anymore. Excuse the excessive psychology, but I really believe that many weight problems have psychological roots.
 
Okay - okay .. I'm okay.. I took three deep breaths. Haha - I should have done that first. I can't let the first hour of my morning ruin my entire day... plus these dreams are jsut that - nightmares, they mean nothing. *phew* I've got the sweetest dog in the world. :) Thank god for puppies.
 
Hey Girl I Am Sorry Your Having A Rough Time Of It I Just Hate It And I Hope Things Get Better Soon For You Just Dont Let It Get Ya Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Awww. sorry you had such a rough start to your day! That does stink, doesn't it?! :( But. it seems like its beginning to improve already, so that is good to hear!!

Those dreams... or nightmares rather, that's all they are.. your subconscious running wild! Maybe deep down thats a fear of yours, but nothing either of you'd act on. Don't we all worry about things like that?.. I have the most bizarre dreams about my upcoming wedding.. missing dress, missing a groom, etc!! And most recently, finding out I was pregnant unexpectedly AND my fiance being really excited about it AND then finding out I wasn't really pregnant. All in the same horrifying dream... uhm.. we're not even trying to conceive yet!! And so arent' ready! lol..so who knows.. we all have bizarro dreams..

As for boys and overflooding toliets... ahh.. MEN!! :)
 
Firstly, boys are so gross. Seriously. I only wish I could think of some funny little way to get back at them. I would almost say leave it for THEM to clean up, but well, that's even grosser.

As far as the dreams... I think its something along the lines of what missprincess said, but my take is a little different. To me, it looks/sounds like things in general are just going so great for you with the weight loss and a great boyfriends and your family is supporting you, but you seem to be waiting for the other shoe to drop in a manner of speaking. Maybe deep down, you think that things are just too good to be true, and so you come up with these terrible situations in your dreams to relive the stress of not having as much stress.

Kind of silly, I know, but our subconsciouses are pretty well known for being silly and irrational.

Either way, things are going great for you, and will keep going great for you until you let them stop!
 
I agree with everyone else... it is just fear and you take that to bed with ya :eek: So no worries. I use to dream about me cheating on my hubby also and I woke up feeling really guilty like it really happend. Just do pilates :p It helps you clear your mind and body :D J/K
 
Thanks guys - it's a huge relief to see that everyone agrees with that. And boys are gross, damnit! Haha.. I clean up after two of the slobbiest of 'em all! Blah today I didn't do too great because I just stayed here all day long - no exercise! But I guess a day off isn't too big of a deal.. . me body needs it! *sigh* I was offered a job at my hair salon (Anna Rianou - heard of it bailey?) Anyways.. I will work there on Saturday but I'm so nervous because the girls there are like twigs - I'm going to look like a blimp next to them! ... sleepy time though! :) Time to get some rest I can't let tomorrow suck this much. Haha but it wasn't as bad as I make it sound - I found out my dog has a love for hemp lip moisturizer! :D Hope everyone has a TGIF!
 
TGIF to you too! The job at salon might be nice distraction for you. I remember you were saying you were bored staying home. It would give you a lot of interaction with people. :)

Don't worry. Please don't compare yourself with others. People come in all shapes and sizes, and its ok. You're still as good of a person(if not better) then they are.
