General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

A:) Argh, I'm always slipping... Just a bit clumsy... don't mind me.

The one, most important thing that I got from the chart thing is that my body is composed of 39% FAT!!!!!!!! Its actually crazy... I could lose 30% of me, without actually losing a leg!

Ahhh Princess... I didn't look anywhere as good as I was feeling.... I had a fake tan on, had just dyed my hair, a new outfit.... I felt great for once.... And in the pics I feel like I look like a double chinned sack of potatos. Ah well.... Thats what diets are for.

I didn't have a great day today- had mc donnalds and an ice cream. But not much else so it could be worse I guess. Arguing with the bf again. But had a lovely day out with lily by the Thames... We went on a carousel, the dodgems, some arcade games, had a lovely boat trip down the river, then played in a huge sand pit then walked down some more and caught the tail end of a show. Then we went to a cute little park, had a mc donnalds and came home.

Going to do a healthy shop tomorrow :D
 
A:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: Hello dearie!! ..and I don't care about the 28 pounds...you are still super hot and stylish to me!! ...I am glad you are back and I would love nothing more that for this place to be like "old" times...haha :) I truly believe online support is key in keeping my motivation going....so get back in the swing and kick some butt!!
 
AI was quite sad when I discovered how quiet the forum is.... There aren't many new people either... Its just gone a bit dead :( Its such a shame because are millions of overweight people in this world who could benefit SO MUCH from this forum... Where are they all?!

[COLOR=FF00AA]TO ANYONE READING THIS.... START A DIARY!!!!!! IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU EVER DID!!!!!!!!!![/COLOR] I was unsure about starting a diary in the first place... I don't know why, I was just a bit shy about putting myself out there. I am SO GLAD that I did, and if you join, you will be too! This is so much better than weekly slimming groups, because people are there every day through your weight loss journey... Not just once a week. If you need to be shouted at, we will shout at you... You don't need to wait for it lol. And the best part is, that its completely free, plus you won't find yourself bugging people who have no interest in your weight loss about food related stuff all the time.

:iagree: With myself.

Random thoughts...


EAT SHIT= FEEL LIKE SHIT + LOOK LIKE SHIT.

IT ACTUALLY REALLY IS POSSIBLY, FOR ABSOLUTELY ANYONE, WHATEVER YOUR DIET HISTORY.

IT IS OUR CHOICE.

I am actually feeling like I am really going to do it. I just wish I had this feeling 25 pounds ago lol.
 
HI GIIIIIIIIIIIRL :seeya:



Must say Ruthy i agree with u 100%.... i love this forum, everyone whos obese and overweight should have a diary on here. Its so motivational.


Your posts always cheer me up, especially on days where my diet was lacking healthy food........oops shouldnt have said that, you will shout at me lol.


Have an awesome day chicken


xxxxxxxxxxxx
 
A:iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

And you my dear made me proper laugh out loud agreeing with yourelf. You are totally right. This is the firts time in my 27 years of being fat that i have actually managed to get to a normal size. This place rocks!!!
 
Until I stopped by your diary, I totally thought I was going crazy. I kept thinking to myself, "I do not remember the forum being this QUIET!" I actually came here a few years ago and it was sooo busy. But this time there do not seem to be many people left. But at least the ones that are left seem pretty amazing! :) And you are absolutely beautiful!! Even if you don't lose another pound I think you are gorgeous.


Anyways, I plan to keep in touch with you. :) I am so happy to finally get to "meeting" various people around here. And I hope to join you all on a very successful journey.

A:D :D and :D again :)

Well I have been getting agonising stomach cramps all morning. They are awful.... Pain noises, tears and everything. Apart from that I am fine, but I am just so exhausted fro the pain. I get one at east every ten minutes. Seems to be worse when I am moving.

I didn't go to the gym yesterday as I was aching- not awfully, but I had a definite air of duckishness about my walk... And now there is no way I can go today. I was actually really looking forwards to it as well. On the plus side, if any food passes my lips and goes into the churning pit of hell, I would be very surprised. Just got another one... God its horrible.
 
AWell, knock me down with a feather, I have recovered, almost :)

When I was sending out silent wishes to the universe for a rock hard stomach, that is so not what I had in mind... Be careful what you wish for people!

At about half three I was getting bearable cramps, and I thought I could eat something So I had egg on toast.... Felt even better by 6 and the gym was about to shut so I went for a workout which was a mistake as I still felt pretty awful, then I went all funny and faint in tescos afterwards and was bending over at the till with my face in a display of skittles :) Thank god I didn't actualy faint, but I reckon I was close. And nobody asked me if I was alright! Nobody! Stoopid Londoners, bunch of bastards, the lot of em :D

I just had a large plain jacket and a nice fruit salad as well.
 
Thank the heavens you are not better hun, they sound like nightmare cramps! I cant believe no one asked were you okay tho? how ignorant!!!


Anyway delighted you are on the mend, and well done for another good food day :D


xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. That sounds unbearable. A similar thing happened to me a few weeks back and was not fun. Hopefully my germs didn't spread all the way to London, lol! Anyways, hope you have a great rest of your day (it's sometime in the evening over there? lol...6am here) and keep recovering. Oh, and you are amazing and inspiring for still going to workout after all of that...lol. Next time I want to make an excuse to not workout....I will think of you! :)


~Ava
 
APrincess I know! i would always ask someone if they are alright! Thanks.

Ava It really is isn't it... Have you sold anything on ebay to anyone here? :) Maybe that's how your germs spread to me lol. I think there is +5 hours difference between London and America.

Well, today I am thinking coffee. I am more addicted to coffee than to food, the thought of giving it up terrifies me.... The milk level has risen to at least 100mls each cup, sometimes more. And I use whole milk, so at 8 coffees a day, that is 62 x 8 = 496 calories, and that's without sugar! I also hate needing coffee all the time, and spending so much money on it when I am out. BUT I LOVE IT, love, love, loveit SO MUCH! I would like to only have 4 coffees a week, half an hour before workouts, as the caffeine is supposed to help with fat burning.

I haven't got anything planned of much interest for the next few days, when the withdrawals would be at their worst. I should do it now, but the thought of going without it makes me shudder.

Yesterday I got my new Diane Von Furstenburg handbag delivered, and I am super happy about it today!!!!!! Yesterday it didn't even twitch the corners of my lips as I was in so much pain. I got it half price with my ebay proceeds, and it is leopard print, and beautiful :) I deserve it ;)

I am aching again today, so no gym... I suppose I should really give telly a miss for tonight and tidy up my forsaken dump of a house, that'll get me active. I vow to do at least two hours cleaning and tidying. I blame Ava for making me do it as she is so tidy :)

Ps... This is also a day of beating myself up big time over regaining weight.... It will take me so long to reach that point I was at... At least 2 1/2 months. I just don't understand what possessed me to think it was actually okay to eat all them pizzas and chocolate. What on earth was I thinking? Why? I know I can't change it, all I can do is change in the here and now, but still, I have really annoyed myself, and I wonder if I am destined to yo-yo all my life. What if I reach my goal, maintain a bit, then get fat again? Whist I can't imagine it happening now, it could, because it has before.

Pss. I will give giving up coffee a shot tomorrow, god help me. I am hydrophobic when it comes to drinking water.

Psss. There was a woman at the gym who can't have showered for weeks. I think someone needs to tell her the hosepipe ban is over.

Tally ho x
 
ALove reading your update dearie....so glad your tummy is feeling better...can't believe no one stopped to ask if you were ok.....that is sad.

I also have read that drinking a cup of coffee before a work out is a great metabolism and energy booster....I work out so late in the evenings that drinking anything with caffeine would keep me up all nite tho.

YES!! Look at any stall in weight loss as a chance for your body to adjust to that new specific weight...and it will start coming off again in due time...but I am a firm believer in weighing myself every day to keep myself accountable!! I am taking that out look right now. I think for me these last 20ish pounds are more mental than physical.

and I love the renewed positive attitude...it is inspiring!!
 
AI have made a decision not to weigh myself as the scales make me miserable, plus I am trying to build muscle which will affect the number on the scales... I use the tape measure every morning tho, and I have lost 2 inches since that fat photo on the other page was taken. I don't want to weigh in before my gym review which is in 4 weeks time... Really hope I have lost 7kgs altogether by then! Although I won't have if today is anything to go by.

I FEEL SO SLOW!! I feel so foggy! I feel so blah. The only caffeine I have had today was a cup of weak tea this morning and I am finding it so hard. I went to the shops to buy Charlies teacher an end of year pressie, which included chocolates (How stupid!) and I found myself eating 16 of them. There is another box for the teaching assistant sitting there as well.... I am just lacking so much energy I didn't even go to the gym. I have a slight headache, and I have made a million more typos than normal.

COFFEEEEEEE COFFFFFFEEEE COFFFFFFEEEEE I NEEEEED SOME COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
 
AAm pleased to say I went to the gym 5 mins after I posted that :) I hated every second of it... But I thought if I could do it the other day when I was ill, I have no excuse now really. Burned 350 calories, didn't do any weights tho. And I wnt on the treadmill! Two fingers up to that personal trainer who told me not to use it haha. He is the manager... He must be in there all day, I swear, because he was lurking today. I took jogging for 2 minutes, and walking for two minutes in turns, bright red and sweating, while the people wither side of me had been running for ages with no visible signs of distress :/

I did actually buy fruit salad earlier on... So regretting them choccies. Clean eating from tomorrow!
 
You are a rockstar for going despite feeling how you were feeling. And I bet you feel better now having gone..?! Right???:biggrin: It is amazing what a bit of exercise can do to change the mood. Ooo...fruit salad...that sounds delicious...


Hope your day goes a bit better now!
 
AAh, if only, still felt pretty shit after!

I woke up this morning and I felt so awful my headache was beyond belief, right at the front of my forehead, throbbing. Nick came up with a coffee for me, and despite my caffiene ban, I gulped it down... And ohmygod, the difference I felt instantly was amazing. I did have another cup today as well cos I am finding it so hard... No more today tho.

I am thinking I gave into the chocolates easier yesterday as my body was just desperate for an energy boost. I know this probably sounds totally ridiculous to most people... But I'm not exaggerating at all. I have drunk nothing but coffee for years. Nothing else. I am properly physically addicted to it, the power that it holds over me is scary!

I have enough for two weak coffees left, and one that's gone I am not buying any more for a week, when I will just have some before workouts.

Good food day... Shredded wheats, chilli and rice, fruit salad.

Organised my entire house, will be cleaning tomorrow and there's a few other bits I need to do as well so I'll be on the move a lot :).
 
Well done on a brill day, also poor you for being so addicted to coffee............ it must be a nightmare to deal with!! Hope the headaches eventually stop soon, loads of love xxx
 
Good luck with giving up the coffee honey--I don't know what I'd do without mine! But I have it black with sweeteners (still not great for you!). You can do itttt! Push through, my dear. xxx
 
AOoooooooh Hana, your back!!!!!! Hello :seeya: Yup, coffee was my petrol too, wish I liked it without milk then my problem would be solved. Humph.

I have had three cups of tea today... So not too bad! Only a mild headache :) Tomorrow I shall have two.

Today has been a complete food disaster. Mc Donnalds, packet of biscuits, as well as a syrup nut bar, jam on toast and quiche with chips and salad.

I AM DOING MY SHOPPING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! I feel so much more motivated when there's things full of healthy goodness in the fridge. Maybe I should aim for 7 perfect days.
