How many calories does procrastinating burn???

Apparently none.... because I've been doing it religiously for years now and my fat ass hasn't gotten any less fat. So, I guess I'll have to try something else now.

I have no good reason not to eat right and exercise. I have plenty of time and I live in sunny Florida where the weather is beautiful most of the time. I'm very lucky, so you'd think it'd be easy, right? Notsomuch. I've had a huge mental block that I'm struggling to get past... hopefully now is the time.

I've struggled with my weight all of my adult life. From the ages of 14 - 32 I was on a rollercoaster of dieting and bingeing, ending up bigger after each go-round. My highest ever was about 230 I think. Then I finally had some success about 6 years ago after getting a divorce, and got down to about 140. I maintained (close to that, at least) for several years and then slowly let it creep back up again. I'm around 170 now, but it looks and feels like a lot more.

I have all kinds of reasons why I want to lose the weight (I'll post those next time) and I know what I need to do... it's just a matter of doing. I love the planning stage. I get ALL excited in the planning stage.... stoked about what I will do tomorrow, or next Monday- the day that never comes. Well, hopefully that day is here now. I've eaten right the last two days and went for a walk yesterday...planning to go again tomorrow morning. (There I go with tomorrow again!)

If I can figure out how to do it (I'm assuming attachments?) I will post my before pictures. I realize now looking at them that I really sucked it in for the side shot (but the back shot more than makes up for it!) but I guess it doesn't matter. If I suck it in the same next time, the difference (the impressive loss, of course) should still be visible.

Here's to battles won! :beerchug:

My fiance says to cut the word "fat" out of your personal dictionary lol
I have done this all too many times. Repeatedly put myself down by calling myself fat and it actually makes me worse to the point where I dont want to go outside. So if you think of yourself as a woman ready to become a healthier you, maybe you will feel better. Think of the health benefits of losing weight, cardiovascular is important, as well as phsysique.

And your body doesnt look "fat"

it looks like you just need a little to lose.

I too have gone through the binging, the cycles of anorexia and bulimia. But I have broken the bulimi virtually. I still binge.

but I am trying to cut out how much I binge on. I put one piece of chocolate next to my bed. To fill the sugar sweet craving and it gives me just what I need.

I can't seem to fall asleep with out eating lol but I am making the right steps.

but hun dont get yourself down. You can do this... you really can! It takes team work and the peeps who write in your diary and contact you are your team. Support is always here.

And you walked today! Be proud. There were days during the summer I lost my grip, social anxiety and didnt go walking, I have gained around ten to twenty pounds since May, because of the same attitude you have. I walked an hour and a half today. The pride I felt.

You should be proud. You got out there. Take one day at a time. And maybe read others diaries and feel their energy. Sometimes reading others diaries inspires you to do what you so want to do.

Its not procrastinating. Maybe you are afraid to go out, because of your thoughts on how you appear.

Just put headphones on and take a jaunt. Its will do you good, and than get in front of the puter and tell us about your ten minute, fifteen minute, twenty minute walk. I started at five minute walks. I couldnt walk around the block with out a lot of pain. I have lost forty pounds, I had lost fifty until I gained weight back.

Take the support and do get rid of fat word... it will just bring you down, when you catch yourself thinking or saying the word. Remind yourself you walked and you are going to do it again. Your a few oz less than yesterday ...

good luck hun
keep your head up
always

Hi Natsky... thanks for reading my post, and congrats to you for walking an hour and a half yesterday, wow!!! That's a lot! And don't worry... I use the word "fat" more in a lighthearted, kind of self-joking way.

Anyway, good for you ! You're doing an awesome job... keep it up! :D
