Well this is my journal..I welcome everyone who ever wants to read.. but trust me... it probably wont get very boring. haha. I have a crazy life, that just gets crazier everyday.

I'm kinda pressed for time at the moment, but I wanted to start my journal ASAP. I have a goal of getting to 135-140 pounds currently. I'm around 180 now. I have lost alot of weight before, a few times... so I know I can do it. I just need to keep it off this time. heh.​

I'm extremely determined this time, because I want my boyfriend to want me more than ever. We've been through alot, and he's a great guy... really he is... but recently I found out he cheated on me.. and I feel so ugly.​

Be back later..
 
Doesn't sound like such a great guy if he cheated on you. And him cheating on you is no reflection on you - it's him. I've got more to say on that issue, but I'm sure you don't want to hear it yet, so I'll stop now.

Good luck in getting started on loosing!
 
No, I do agree with you... I guess I'm still in denial over everything. I never wanted to be one of "those girls who stay with their boyfriend's no matter what."

On a side note, I didn't do so well today.. but tomorrow is a new day! We had Taco hell for dinner... BLEH! what were we thinking!?

Well, I'm hitting the sack... but tomorrow after work, I'm going straight to the gym. I'm planning on doing that atleast 4 times a week (Right after work) So we'll see how I do.
I'll update alot more tomorrow! thanks for visiting!
 
hey and welcome,
this is a great forum for support and encouragement. we are better now because of you. Girl let me start by letting you that you should not lose weight for somone else. you deserve it just because of who you are. that may not make him stay. then what... Girl? do it for yourself. he will be speechless later when you are as fine and as sexy as you wanna be.

i am glad you are here and i look forward to reading your diary.

Welcome and you can do this girl and Honestly you do need to do this for you although I know how you feel i been there believe me! So lets do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thank you guys so much for stopping in!! It pumps me up to know there are others out there who are going through the same stuff.. (diet, etc.) Again, I am pressed for time..I work overtime today at work and didn't make it to the gym.. but my b/f and I went grocery shopping, and bought lots of healthy yummy stuff. I made grilled chicken (no oils or anything.. but a little bit of spices) steamed broccoli, and mashed potatoes. I'm trying not to worry too much about strictly caloric intake.. so I wont get back into my old habits.

For the first couple of weeks we're (I've talked my b/f into losing weight with me.. he's around 300 pounds.) just trying to concentrate on not over-eating like we do so much. Also, not as much pop, and so on.

How often do you guys suggest I weigh in? When I had my eating disorder before, I weighed in multiple times a day.. to tell whether I would allow myself to eat or not. I hated that depressing feeling, and never want to do that again. So I am not sure how often I should weigh in?

Any other healthy tips are greatly appreciated! Now it's time for bed!! Thanks everyone for reading... and lets go lose weight! :cool:
 
Freckl stress is a huge eating motivator for me. Most of the time unfortunately its a bad one. If you eat bad every time a man pizzes you off you will always be eating. Men typically are low by nature so it's something you have to learn how to deal with in the most positive way possible.
 
Hey there! I have been so busy lately, that I wasn't able to update the diary. We've been trying the 6 small meals a day diet. I've been eating more protein,etc.
I weighed in the other day at the gym, and I have lost 4 pounds! Yay! I've also cut out almost all pop... which is hard for me to do, but I always lose weight when I do. Anyways.. just wanted to put that out there. My next weigh in will probably be on Wednesday or so. :)
 
Bleh! I was horrible yesterday evening... and today. :( I'm trying not to get back into the swing of feeling guilty everytime I eat.. but today I did. Oh well, I'm trying to forget about all that.

Anyways.. Wanted to put my goals on here for me to remember.

Goal Weight 1: 165 by February 5th. (My b/fs birthday)
Goal Weight 2: 152 by March 11th. (My older bro's birthday)
Goal Weight 3: 145 by April 1st.

Ultimate Goal Weight 135-145. By June 20th. (My birthday.)
 
just forget abot that bad day - there is nothing you can do it about it now so we may aswell concentrate on the future instead of lingering over the past.
well done on your weight loss so far - your ex boyfs going to be so gutted when he sees how damn fine you will look at the end of this!!!
:) keep it up
 
Hi, I have become compulsive about weighing myself in the past, so I have carefully considered the amount of times I weigh myself. My hubby and I have a 6 week chart in the bathroom that is just a graph showing a starting position in the centre, and weight lost below, weight gained above. We weigh ourselves every Monday and chart the gain/fall since the previous week. I have been doing that for over a year now, dieting or not, and making that routine has - well, call it dis-empowered the scales. I usually don't even think about weighing myself more than once a week.

However, I knew that as I am dieting I would be keen to weigh myself more. I decided to weigh myself every day for the first 3 days, every other day for the next 4 days (that's week one done) and I weighed myself today, 3 days later. I next intend to weigh myself after 4 days (week 2 done) and then return to my once a week weigh in. I have been so tempted to weigh myself more often, but haven't (quite proud of myself actually) as I know what sort of crazy mess my head gets in when I do. The important thing for me is that I have control over the scales, they do not have control over me.

I would say that it doesn't matter how often you get weighed to anyone but you - it wont affect your weight loss. Only you know the dangers. So, think about it calmly - do you want scales at home, or is it better to get weighed outside the house? Is it better to get weighed alone, or with someone who you trust to help you with this issue. Chose a regime that suits you and one that helps you feel in control.

If you can't deal with scales without a problem, use a measuring tape instead.
