Well guys, I am finally committed to this weight loss thing. I have battled this my whole life and have had the ups and downs in weight. I am currently the heaviest I've ever been and I am hating every minute of it. I have days that I can't even bear to look at myself in the mirror. I keep telling my husband how I don't know how he can even be attracted to me. He keeps telling me I'm beautiful and that he loves me how I am. Unfortunately, I don't love myself the way that I am.
 
You sound just like my mom. In fact...I sent her the link for this forum...I'm gonna be laughing my butt off if she sneaks in here when I'm not looking!

I'm so glad that your husband loves you no matter what, but you have to do this for you. It's not easy, but you'll do it! And we'll be here for whatever help you need.

Welcome and make yourself at home!
 
Remember, who you are is not dependent on what the scales say. You are NOT your weight - you are so much more then that. Your husband is smart enough to see it :)

Now...what your body looks like on the outside, CAN be modified. You CAN do something about it if you're not happy with it.

But it's not the be all, end all of your lovability - not even close I'm sure :)

Welcome to the WLF and good luck to you in this journey!
 
After all the excitement yesterday, I cheated on the eating better. I was having such a bad craving for salt that I had some chips with guacamole and then my husband and I went to TCBY for dessert after dinner. I did cut out the rice with the stir fry that I made to try and keep some of the carbs low. Overall yesterday, I don't think I did too bad. This time of the month is just always hard for me to control myself and my husband never tells me "no". I need to learn how to tell myself that word.


I am making myself walk during lunch at work though. That helps. Can't wait for it to warm up and I can go walking in the evening again...:D

Today:
Breakfast
South Beach Protein Bar

Lunch
Lean Cuisine French Bread Pizza

Dinner
Still thinking:rolleyes:

Snacks
Weight control oatmeal
yogurt
M&M's (there I go again)

Drinks
Cranberry juice (lite)
sprite zero
water
 
A lifestyle change doesn't generally happen over night.

It's small steps taken one at a time.
You CAN do that :)

One step at a time!

Hey there..... most everything looks good. It's hard to just up and say, " I'm on a diet and can't have that anymore." Just about everyone here has candy of some sort. If you have to have it just try and work it into your calories.


By the way welcome.........
 
Heya's and welcome!! I know the feeling of hubby saying your
beautiful and you say like yeah right(well I do lol).It is hard
the 1st few days to stick 100% you didn't have a horrible slip
up. I love the lean cuisnes I usually have the chciken club pinnini
or the garlic chicken brick oven pizza! South beach has yummy
peanutbutter cereal bars that taste great!
Your menue looks great and walking I think is one of the best most
enjoyable exersices! Have a great day and good luck,Tammy:D
 
The Paninis are good. I've had a few of them before. Dinner was good tonight. We went and ate chinese. I didn't do too bad. Had spicy korean stir fry with brown rice. And water... I love my water.:)

Thanks for all the support...
 
Well, let's see... The weekend has gone really well so far. I fudged a little yesterday. Positive mark is that we took the dog for a nice walk yesterday in the rain. It made us walk fast, that's for sure. We plan on going again today. Another positive, I don't know about weight wise, but life wise it's good. My husband and I have decided that we are going to try and have a baby. It's got me nervous though, since I am already trying to lose weight. I know that it will set me back. The way that I look at it though, is I have my whole life to live a healthy lifestyle and I can still be healthy and pregnant. I will just have to make sure that I am taking in enough calories for the baby. It is something I will definitely speak with my doctor about. Any advice from the mother crowd out there is always welcome.:)
 
Hi and good for you for having such a good weekend :)

When I got pregnant, I weighed 219 pounds, I gained 13 pounds while pregnant, and lost 16 when I had my daughter. I did really well while pregnant. The trouble really started after I had her ;)

You can eat healthy and not gain too much weight while pregnant - I certainly wouldn't let it worry you in the mean time :)

Best of luck :D
 
I can only hope that I do as well. Thanks for the encouragement and I'm glad to see it's possible to do. I always hear the horror stories of people gaining 50-80 lbs and never being able to lose it. I am confident I will do fine.:D
 
I thought I didn't do so hot today until I added up my calories... I even double checked them. My maintainance amount is 2400 (rounded down) and I only had 1822.

2400-1822=578

Yeah. My goal is to have at least 500 calories unused and I did it.
