Hey PEC! Thanks, I try to be positive most of the timeI find that thinking positive leads to positive things happening!
Thansk for dropping by!
Hi Kori, I agree totally, I find that when I let the little slips get me into a big funk, I end up having BIG Landslides... I am trying to keep positive.
Good for you ~ Michelle

Well I just went and got a new Digital scale.. and Wahhahahahahahaaaa it weighs me at 1.2kg more than the mechanical one
Oh well, I guess it could be worse! I much prefer the digital because of the .9 etc the mechanical one is very hard to tell when you have lost less than one full Kilogram (2.2 pounds).
Still happy though, as it was probably always out, so I have still lost the same amount.. just different figures

Thanks Ms Y! Yeah it is not that bad, I am still happy Been a busy morning, Saturday morning is always like this, I didn't have my breakfast.. argh.. but as we were out at the Mall, I did get sushi for lunch.. YUM!!!!
Going out tonight with a girlfriend, who doesn't know (and I don't want to tell) that I am losing weight, we are having pizza, and no doubt lots of wine.. LOL I will have to try to resist weighing myself tomorrow!!!!
Thanks Brawny!

Well I had a bit of a piggy weekend! Saturday I did not eat enough, and ended up way under cals, despite going out for pizza (only had two slices) and wine (had 4 glasses) But Sunday.. OMG couldn't stop eating! LOL and I didn't feel like cooking either.. and my son decided to make pancakes for the first time LOL so of course I HAD to sample them.. twice >_< doh! hehehe oh well.. and then I had 3 slices left over pizza, and then half of a KFC crispy strip, and then two choc chip cookies... and then 4 glasses of wine >_< iggy:
I wonder if that was as an anti-dote to not eating enough on Saturday??? hmmm It has been a bit of a trend of mine before changing my eating.. where I would eat very little one day, then lots the next... hmm will have to monitor that!
Feeling good this week though, Monday half way through already and I feel on track and in control of it all!
New month too.. so happy June everyone!

Hey there Kori,
I'm kinda in the same position about not wanting to tell people that I'm on a diet. One friend knows cuz her and I workout together, but other than that I want to keep it a secret. I feel like if I tell people then it will open up a bunch of questions and expectations.
Glad you're recovering from your indulgent weekend. It's okay to be indulgent once in a while, you just gotta be aware of the issue so you know not to do it again for a while.
Have a great week Kori!

Yeah, I figure it is not really anyone's business... and the particular friend I saw has a tendancy to be very negative/distructive about anything I am doing *rolleyes*
I have told family, they are supportive and intrigued by the "eat more to lose "idea, as my parents are always trying to lose those few kilos they are overweight (not a lot maybe 5 each max) so we had a good discussion about BMR and discovered they both eat about 600 cals less than they should, and haven't been able to budge those kgs as a result... will be interesting to see what happens if they do up their calories.

I hate when people have expectations about your weight loss. Sometimes it's best to just keep things to yourself until you cant hide it anymore. This sounds terrible, but I know some people who get kicks out of sabotaging other people's diet plans, even by trying to tempt them into eating things and then acting all upset when you politing decline their offer. An ex-mother-in-law of a friend of mine constantly brings her donuts even though she is fully aware of my friend's weight loss plans.
I'm at the point now where people are really noticing my weight loss and so they naturally ask "how much have you lost and how much do you still want to lose". Sometimes I really hate the number game because it makes me feel like shit when they say "OH MY GOD. YOU WERE THAT BIG????" or alternatively, "OH MY GOD. IF YOU LOSE THAT MUCH MORE WEIGHT YOU'LL LOOK ANOREXIC!!!" Grrr. People suck sometimes lol.

The subject of sabotage is one that seems to repeat over and over...
Sometimes I wonder if its just because people aren't comfortable when someone is no longer the "fat friend". Whatever, you do this for you and its nobody's business.
I like that I'm losing, but I've gone up and down so many times... I always hate it when someone says " wow, how much have you lost so far?"
None of your F'ing business!
Sorry for ranting...
Sorry for not coming over as much either, I've been kinda busy lately.

hmm yeah some interesting points in both your posts MsY and Karl.. I don't know why anyone would want to sabotage, but I think it does have to do with the whole "I have you in a box and don't want you moving out of it - coz then I have to think about what new box to put you in" thing.. and I don't really like being in the box I am currently in and am not sure I want to be in any box!
One of the reasons I am doing this is I have had enough of being the fat one everywhere I go.. so some folks are just going to have to deal... or not.. I don't care, not doing this for anyone else but me.
I think a lot of people don't believe I can do it also, as I have been overweight for a very long time... looking forward to showing them
Oh.. and I am one of those who have always Hated people commenting on my weight, positively or negatively.. it has always been something personal to me... private even
I was at a party just before I started this, about 6 weeks ago and someone I was talking to just kept going on and on and on about how much weight "so and so" had lost... and how fantastic they looked because of it.. now I am all for positive feedback, but seriously, it was like "so and so" had ZERO cred or were not even slightly interesting before - as they were overweight.. and NOW they are so great because they are skinny... I mean WTF is with that attitude???
Thanks for dropping by you guys doors always open!

People can be such assholes. I wouldn't doubt if those same people are now starting a betting pool on when "so and so" will gain back all the weight.

hey girl, just wanted to stop by and see how your doing...and also to say thanks for always popping by my diary.
i see your doing great! and congrats on the 15pounds lost so far!
i know what you mean about keeping it to yourself that your on a lifestyle change...that's how i've been, the only people i've told are my family and two of my dearest closest friends...the rest of the world doesn't matter because i'm doing this for me. i made a mistake of telling an acquaintance that i couldn't meet her since i was going to the gym, now she calls me like once every 2 weeks to ask if i'm still going to the gym and how much weight i've lost, i wish i could tell her to f*ck off, but i've never been one to say what i really think so i just tell her i'm doing ok and don't go into specifics. i remember her about a year ago telling me i really should consider surgery since so many people are doing it.....DON'T PEOPLE KNOW HOW OFFENSIVE THEY CAN BE SOMETIMES? AAARRRGGGHHHH!
i live in a shared house (renting a room) and haven't even told my housemates i'm on a lifestyle change, they don't know i go to the gym or even notice that i eat healthy...and at my weight even though i've lost almost 35pounds no one has noticed but then again it's hard to notice visually untill i loose a much larger amount (since in my case i started at such a high figure).
i remember mentioning once to one of my housemates by mistake that i was off to the gym and they went on a rant about how gyms are rubbish and if i really want to loose weight i need to stop eating and literally live off the fat of my body, the words f*cking idiot came to mind but of course again i didn't voice them.
so i just keep it all to myself and keep my family constantly updated since they are the people in my life who matter to me the most and they're all so happy for me.
then of course there's the forum outlet which came at the right time so talking with all of you and going through all of this with all of you is helpful beyond words....i think i'd have given up ages ago were it not for this daily accountability.
and it's like since we're fat, we're always lying....i mentioned to my doc and the nurse that i'm on a weight loss programme and both pretty much almost rolled their eyes, i didn't even get a 'that's good' or 'keep it up' probably because they thought i was lying or wouldn't stick to it....i guess i'm supposed to walk in thin one day and then they'll be like oh wow that's great.
oh well, just thought i should get that off my chest...lol! it really helps to know that others have the same issues as me...it makes me not feel so alone in this.
otherwise all the best hun, your doing great!

You said it MsY! People can be complete Aholes sometimes.. and we should all try to steer clear of such distructive forces whilst we are pursuing something so positive for ourselves!
I do dread when I have lost the weight, that people will be like that about me.. "Wow how great you are NOW!!!" arghghgghghgh!!! it's like those bloody anti-smoking ads we have here with the Supercilious Aholes being all smug in their righteousness.. makes me want to take up smoking again!!!!!! hehehehe
Hey Cherry!
I think you are amazing.. how you could live in a house and they don't even know!!! OMG you are bloody brilliant! I could never do that, basically because I am either thinking about, talking about, cooking or eating Food...All the bloody time!! LOL
You have a sensible head on your shoulders for sure! Keep on ingnoring the morons with their "advice" or the snot nosed medical professionals who don't believe anyone can do anything for their health without a prescription/program/surgery from them!!! (no offense Camy or other Drs here ) and keep your positive state of mind!
I keep my husband and family updated also, as they are the only ones that matter to me as well!!!
I agree about how important this site is.. it means a lot to me to be able to come here and give and get support that is purely objective and positive.. none of us know or judge each other, there is absolutely no undermining or other BS going on (mostly) and I think that is fantastic, and such a great support system.. Even if we are just high fiving each other, or saying well done sometimes.. it REALLY HELPS!!! No one else truly understands like those that are going through it themselves!!!
We rock just for doing this!!!!

Hey Kori
I have lost almost 30 pounds and very few have noticed. I have my hair different and people compliment that but very few have noticed my shrinking butt...hmmmm maybe people arent looking at my butt...I need to get some cute pants so my butt looks hot so people will start checking it out....thanks Kor..you helped me
I learned a long time ago we cannot control people, we are only in control of our reaction to those people...we are all on the road to success and every change big or little is a celebration....SOOOOOOOOOO CELEBRATE!!!
