I'm feeling very discouraged right now. I'm seriously thinking that I will never see a difference in my body. I hate the way I look now and afraid I will never change.
Of course, you'll see a difference!! It just takes time! If you still can't believe it, find something that weighs 13.5 lbs and carry it around for a while and then you'll see. Don't give up!! (thinking of Waterboy) Yoooouuuu caaaahhhhnnnnn dooooo eeeeetttttt.
Thanks Manaloa... it's just that my haaviest weight was around 320 I am 223 now and I can't see a difference. I know it's because I've been losing this weight over a 3 year long period but I just wish I could see the changes I've made. That's why I took some before pictures this time around. I need to document the progress I'm making.
I did another 30 min on the stationary bike today... no weights I will do that routine again tomorrow. My body is sore so it must be working!
Hey hf...sorry to hear you are down in the dumps. There is no way you don't look different. There must be things you see about yourself. For me it is in my upper chest. I look thinner there. Are you taking pictures as you lose weight? Are you eating enough? Take a deep breath. You are doing fine. It just takes time.
Thanks Manaloa, Pineola and Kaitie. I am feeling better today probably because of the great night sleep I had!
Pineola- Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from my heaviest (they were mysteriously shredded ) and I don't have many from the past couple of years. I have avoided the camera as much as possible. I don't even have any picture of my on my honeymoon!! All I have are wedding pictures and that was only 1.5 years ago and about 40 lbs ago but I don't really see a difference. Oh well, I have taken pictures now and will compare 20 lbs from now as well as my measurements. Thanks for you support though!
Alright... I'm done with my exercise today! 30 min. bike and 60 min weight training. I'm very dedicated to get slim by Halloween because my mom and dad are coming to visit. It's important to me to look thin to my mom because she has always gone out of her way to make me fell crummy. So, I need to to work really hard to make myself feel awesome!! I really hope I can lose some inches before she gets here!
Day 4 no scale!!! I'm going to try to keep this up for another week or so. It's tough but I think it will pay off. I am going to take my measurements at the end of two weeks on this new exercise plan and then maybe I will weigh myself. I don't want to watch my weight stand still especially if I am building muscle. Not sure how long I can stay away from the scale but I am proud of myself for doing it this long!!
That makes at least two of us, then. I think I'll go and have a carrot stick, just to show myself I can take just that and nothing else from the fridge.
Ate well so I am happy about it. Danny is working until 11 so I am trying to occupy myself. I was watching a movie until I was interupted by my friend and her drama. I'm starting to hate her... not really just annoyed. Why do people cause their own drama and then complain?
I think we all know people like that. They drain you dry after awhile and then it gets hard to be supportive. Great job eating well today and drinkng lots of water.
My friend will be the death of me.... hahaha. Oh well, maybe one day she will get herself together. Most of my friends are very dramatic and bad at relationships. I often wonder if I am the one who gets bombarded with these questions because I am the only one of my friends that is married.
Well, yes, but OTOH the number of units you lose is also smaller. One could of course use kgs for weighing and lbs for weight lost...no, wouldn't work. Sounds suspiciously like yet another way to fool yourself.
Oh well... I guess I have to give up my idea of being weighed in Kg. I have to admit I would be pretty sad if I lost less weight.. hahaha. Still haven't exercised... I think I am going to go around 10.
