Half of Me:The Story of Fat Girl Slim

After spending the weekend trying to be somewhat honest with myself I think I may have figured out some problems that have led to my current predicament...

ok. lets go through these shall we?
ali.smedley said:
1 - I stopped taking vitamins three weeks ago...no reason other than pure laziness

c'mon, really? Easy fix.
ali.smedley said:
2 - I got sick (see #1, above), still am sick with this stinking cold and it is effecting me. I don't like admitting that but it is. Workouts are harder and I am really tired in the mornings.

Just need to get healthy- or reasonably- and get back in the habit. Ease into it and work a little less until you feel better but do not workout so you cannot the next day.

ali.smedley said:
3 - I pick. I eat a lot of small things during the day, partly b/c I haven't eaten proper meals like I should have and partly b/c it is a rotten habit and I need to figure out how to ditch it. If I had the cojones to actually write down what I put in my mouth, I suspect that would be part of the root of my problem.

me to. I need to get on track also. It is an easy step that we both need to do. So lets do it already.
ali.smedley said:
4 - Personal issues made it so I really didn't eat well, or much, for the better part of a week. Part of the increase may be that the low was a false low (as much as I don't want to admit it) and that I am back to where I should be which is just oh so depressing.

the only thing i can say about this is to try to not let these issues get in the way. Life is hard sometimes and this is one of those times.
Depressing that you have lost 'only' 80 lbs and not 85?
Where you are at is fine- wherever it is. You will go down again.
ali.smedley said:
5 - Laziness - just overall, I am not weighing my food or taking the time to cook meals or pack a lunch.
Click to expand...
you and only you. You figured it out now change it.
ali.smedley said:
6 - I am mid-cycle and that leads to a slow-down in my weight loss every month like clockwork. I need to work harder to stick with it to overcome that.

dont look at the scale until this is over. Easier said than done but it will help. Weighing yourself at this time is useless and you know that.
ali.smedley said:
All of these things need to be fixed and I am more than a little overwhelmed by the prospect of it all. I am sick of this body and want more than anything to get rid of it.

That takes work and everything I have been doing lately is working against that goal. It is hard but I think I need to get back to doing what worked. I haven't killed myself for the last year + to quit now. I need to see this through.

This is not overwhelming at all. If it is then mine is also and you told me it isn't.:D
And you quit and i will find you and make you restart.:D Quitting is not an option here missy.
 
So for my afternoon snack I had a kashi bar...then when I got home, I had approx 2oz of ham and 3 hersheys miniatures. I do this all the time. I am so annoyed at myswelf right now...

This is why I fail.
 
It seems like a hershey miniature is about 45 calories a piece, or 135 for the three. 2 oz of ham is about 60 calories. So your dreadful sin is less then 200 calories, or one banana.

Listen to this man Ali. He knows of what he speaks.
I was going to say the same thing...
That and I am sure you burned off 135 cal doing something.:)
Hell I know you worked out- at least did the elliptical or something right?

I know that it isn't that bad calorically but I stopped myself this time. It can get bad and I just go on and on...it scares me that I don't seem to have control over this. I want to get back on track and it is just frustrating...

Yeah...30 mins on the elliptical...burned about 500 cals (taking into consideration my BMR cals, it was less but you get the point)...it was a great workout.

But you are on track. I think that is what you don;t get.
The fact that you stopped is huge. Really huge.
There have been times- you have had them too I am sure- that I couldn't stop. Literally could not stop- and now I do.
That is a big step. Like Anglea depressed me with earlier- you are never 'cured' always in rehab...

I swear to you- if i am going to start listening to Angela I need to leave this site.....

Don't do that...we'll miss you :D

I just worry about the time that I can't/don't stop. That is what scares me. I seem to have the rest of this figured out, this is the only thing that still gives me trouble a year in...

Trust me, I am the same way. But I do not thik that there will ever be a time when it is not an issue. I mean I do not think we can eat whatever at any point in our life but we need to watch food for the rest of it.
That is a fact of life.
We need to find a good substitute for food. For me it is internet posting and exercise.:D
I scare myself when i cannot stop but 1 time will not undo all the good.
