Hello, just found your diary, and want to tell you, that giving up, is giving in. I know you said you weren't giving up, but I want to make sure you know that. Don't let your weight take control of your life, you take control of it. Everything doesn't work for everybody, and when our bodies change, the old things seem to not work anymore. Keep eating healthy and exploring other ways to reduce your weight. Another thing that can hold you back is stress. I believe that one of the reasons that I have been able to drop 10 pounds is because I try not to let things stress me out. I don't even answer the phone for certain people around certain times of the day because they can just stress you, ya know. Like my mother and sister bickering and they want to call me to complain about it, are you serious? Anyway, it seems like your lifestyle is about to get a whole lot better with your settlement and all, but that doesn't mean there aren't any things stressing you out, sometimes we don't identify clearly what is making us feel the way we do. Have you tried taking a multivitamin? A multivitamin has a lot of essential vitamins that are definitely good for you and your body, giving you nutrients that are much needed or you may be lacking, and they also help with stress, raising your serotonin levels, making it easier for you to deal with different things differently, or maybe not dwell on things. I have researched alot more about stress than weightloss. Weightloss can be a bit confusing sometimes. I also take a multivitamin, very inexpensive, but includes a bit more of magnesium and I think Niacin, not sure, have to look at it, but it has more of some ingredients for stress. They will also give you energy. There are a ton of other vitamins that you can research, but I know that a multivitamin is good for everyone, especially if you are a person trying to lose weight on a lower calorie diet. Keep your head up, and good luck. Hope to hear some progress soon.

I actually did start taking a One-a-day vitamin. I stopped taking it a week ago, though. When food ran out, it seemed like I kind of gave up all around.
I do agree with the stress thing. While money is going to get good in a few weeks, it's not good now. Neither of us can get a job around here. We have one car, that eats gas. We have no phone, and no money to get a phone. I make $400 a month in unemployment, and that's all the money that comes in. Our rent is $510. I still have most of this month to pay off, and then rent is due again on Saturday. I am even more behind on rent, because I had to pay the electric bill before it was shut off. Our water will get shut off next week if I can't come up with $95 by tomorrow. It's just hard, because none of this will be an issue...in a few weeks. We may just lose everything before that. I've tried going to the local charities, but our area has such a great need, that they only have funding one day a month...and that was at the beginning of the month. It's frustrating, because I'm trying to get my life back together, but I can't find help....yet, there are so many drug dealers and the like who get help thrown at them. I just don't understand.
You know, I know exactly how you feel, and I have a job, but my bills sure do outweigh my pay. I broke my ankle one year, and couldn't work, and I tried going through some of these places to help pay my rent. I only needed one month, that was it, and I couldn't get help because they said I made too much money, even though I wasn't even working at the moment. I've taken pay cut for the last 3 years, just so that I am able to keep my job. I've been in your situation before, and am practically there now, along with some other stresses. Stress can take a toll on your health as well. You need to get yourself some good rest, and some time alone to figure some things out. You just can't do it with all these things going on, and having to take care of the baby and you are probably worrying about your spouse, which is something we women do. Try to get some time alone. Take a walk, a hot bath, sit by the water, something very calming to calm your nerves. I know you'll figure it. Doing this a few times a week or when you can will help, and it is healthy. Keeping your stress at a minimum will help in every area of your life and your weightloss.

Hey! I was just reading your blog and I noticed that you said you were having a hard time buying healthy food because of the cost. There is a church where I live that gives away free healthy food once a week to families, no questions asked. I dont know if they have stuff like that where you live but you might want to do some searching online. I think the special K diet is a good idea. Special K is like 3-4 bucks a box and youd probably need a few? boxes a week so not too bad. Also sandwich stuff is fairly inexpensive and so is soup. You may end up eating much of the same thing every day but like they say "nothing tastes as good as being thin"... or something like that 
Anyway I hope you keep trying and find a solution that works for you.

I actually did more reading about the Special K diet. I've opted not to do it. Too many people said that it just didn't fill them up. There's nothing super nutritional about the Special K diet, either. It just comes down to cutting calories. So, I think I'll stick to my original plan of just trying to eat healthier, take my vitamins, and exercise.
It's been super hard lately to stick to anything. I've been sick for the past week. I can't walk across my apartment without wheezing and coughing. I can't take my walks. I've been laying around the past few days, just trying to get better. I've been eating whatever is available...and not putting much thought into trying to stay on track. I have been eating a lot of fruit...so that's good. If anything, I'm not eating enough. Why does mother nature have to be so cruel? When we don't eat enough, we gain weight. When we eat what we want, we gain weight. Why couldn't my body be like some of my other friends...where I can eat what I want and lose weight? Gr. I know it's all about training my body, but I'm just not there. I honestly need someone to coach me, but I don't have anyone in my life that can do that. Everyone has so many problems of their own, how can I ask for help for something as trivial as weight loss? I know it's my health, but weight loss is seen as such a vanity thing. It's almost taboo to say that you're overweight. You'll have all of the skinny girl haters all over you, saying that you should love yourself, and you shouldn't want to lose weight.
BAH....I just need some cold medicine and 3 days straight sleep.

Sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time at the moment. Sounds like it is temporary until your settlement comes in but I know that you still got to get through the next few weeks though.
Haven't got any words of wisdom or magic solutions but wanted to post and offer any support that I can...

Everything kind of fell apart.
My boyfriend lied about the settlement. He had also been skimming off of my unemployment for god knows how long. My rent is behind, and my electricity was shut off the other day. The electricity was in his name, but he ran up a bill in my name a couple of years ago. Now, I'm stuck at a friends house with my 2 year old, trying to find a way to pay off my bill so I can go home. I have a really good job that might be mine, and once I start, I can pay my bills. I just need to get over this hump. This really, really big hump. I've contacted all of the charities in my area, but everyone is tapped. I have no idea what to do.

It's been a long year...
Oh my....where to begin...
This past year has been tough. Actually, the past four 5 years have been tough....but, who's counting? lol I split with my boyfriend of 4 years, who is also the father of my daughter. He had been lying to me for months. He was stealing my unemployment checks, not paying rent or utilities, and had lied about a settlement he was getting.
I didn't find out about the rent an utilities until my electric was shut off. I had to stay with a friend. That's when I dug a little deeper and found out about the rent and the "settlement." Needless to say, I was done. It was hard to finally end it with him, but I did so, for myself, and my daughter. My friend found a job for me with her company, I bought a car, and paid off my bills.....mostly. lol A couple of months passed, and I sort of fell for a guy friend. He was very persistent and sweet. He's still sweet. 
He lived in my place for about 5 months, until we decided to move. He was originally from Louisville, and we were living near St. Louis.
It was a big decision for me, but a much needed step in my life...so, we moved! I found work within a week of being here, which is amazing. I work with children who come from broken homes. It really is a amazing job! I've only been in Louisville a month, but I love it. I miss my family and friends, though.
He and I are both bigger people. We have decided to lose weight together, which is amazing. My last boyfriend was very negative about weight loss, and took my asking him to join me as an insult. He's also a sociopath and a liar...so....yeah.
I decided to come back to the forum, because I really need a new circle of friends. I'm all alone down here, and need the support! I would love to lend any support I can offer as well! I noticed, while reading my old blogs, that I never really answered people when they commented on here. I was in such a different place then. I was very depressed, and completely hopeless. I hope no one holds a grudge here! Time will tell!

I've just read most of your diary. You've had a really rough time of it. I"m so glad you were able to get rid of that lying boyfriend. I hope the one you've got now turns out to be totally not like him.
You sound like a pretty strong woman all in all. You seem to know what the right things to do are and can make good decisions. Don't mean to sound patronising but just listening to you decide against the special K diet and the way you talk about other decisions sounds very assertive. And despite your rough upbringing, you are able to find work you love and so on.
There's only one thing i would question. I think you should also eat the egg yolk part of the egg. It may indeed contain more fat but if you are giving up fat from other parts of your diet, then there is nothing wrong with the fat in eggs. Its the fat in greasy foods and fatty meats that need to go. And also cheese if you eat a lot of it. If you read the nutritional section in this wiki about eggs you will see that there is a lot of vitamins in egg yolks and half the protein is also in the yolk. Unless you love egg white and dislike the yolks, there is no sense in eating half the egg.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_(food)
You talked about the expense of eating well before. You can keep costs down in a number of ways. Avoid processed and heavily packaged foods. Do you have homebrand or no names foods? A lot of these are just as good as brand names but are much much cheaper. I buy my rolled oats in this form. My milk is the supermarket brand. Tissues are good. And various other things that i can't think of right now. If i see things that are well priced, ie pasta, i buy a few more packets than usual. I only buy my cat food when its on special and I will buy a whole month at a time and save sometimes as much as 50% of the cost.
When i buy vegies, i try to only buy those that are priced well. I don't buy expensive vegies unless its just a few mushrooms.
If you have any farmers markets around they are usually a bit cheaper than vegies from the supermarket as well.
I think most frozen foods are expensive too.
I buy my asian foods and spices from the asian food shops rather than at the supermarket where they are much more expensive.
So you see there are ways.
Its good you are back and i hope things go better for you this time.

Thank you for the kind words!
The egg whites thing was a desperation thing, I think. I've tried to do drastic things to my diet like that, and they just don't work. What I AM going to do, though is: cut out soda, fried foods, any junk foods, etc. I am going to add more water, fruit, veggies, and whole wheat. I'm going to try to eat 6 times a day, including healthy snacks. We are also going to have one splurge meal a week, after the first month. I want this to be something I can live with for a long time, and not feel deprived.
I know I can do this.

I really do commend you on your decision to cut out the unhealthy junk. Its easy to live without this stuff. You will see this in no time.
If you do eat six meals a day, try to make sure its not over your chosen calorie rate. I find it quite easy to eat three meals a day to be honest. But also being honest, between meals i might have an expresso coffee with 1/2 cup of milk and in the afternoon, i will have my glass of wine before dinner and if i got into a situation where i was hungry i wouldn't hesitate to have a piece of fruit of whatever was needed to get me through. Both of these things provide calories that help me keep going and i enjoy them immensely. I was drinking nescafe all day before i started but i have switched to only one cup of expresso a day and water between times. Or if i am in town, a cappucino. It was easy to make the switch.
And i don't eat anymore after dinner. Once you get accustomed to the routine you set, its easy to stick to it. So while i don't really agree with having six meals (because i think three good meals are enough to keep you going) by all means i wouldn't advise against doing what you are comfortable with.
Be careful with your splurge meal. At least you are not going for a whole splurge day or weekend of eating. I must say i really don't miss anything though i have mild longings when i pass yummy things in the supermarket or elsewhere that are not on my diet. But its still not hard to resist them. When i reach my goal weight, i fully intend to bring back some of those things in slowly, like cheese. Until then, i am going without. But that's because i find eating a little bit of cheese nearly always leads to eating a lot of it. I am hoping that by the time i reach my goal weight i will be so habituated to eating well that i won't need to eat a lot of any bad thing. But then cheese is the only savoury fatty food that i am really weak about. I never ate a lot of pizzas, hot chips and other takeaway foods. Sweet foods are my downfall and i am banishing those for life and i have no regrets. (oh maybe i will have two days over xmas where i will eat things like xmas cake, and xmas pudding, fruit mince pies and stuff like that. But i know i can live without this stuff.
Once you concentrate on making your daily meals really yummy with non fattening foods, you will not miss those other things either.
btw, would you like to join our vegetable dish cooking club? We are doing one dish a week and sharing our experience afterwards. I think it will be fun and a way to broaden our eating horizons. There's no meat or cheese in any recipe though. We've only just started.

I don't actually mean meals. I meant to say that I will eat 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks. It's proving hard to do even that, though, due to my schedule. I go to work at midnight and get off at 8 in the morning. I go to bed around 9, then wake up around 5. By then, it's dinnertime. I take a lunch with me...so....where can I fit my other meal in?
I would love to join your veggie cooking club! Sign me up!!
I would love to join your veggie cooking club! Sign me up!!
That's easy. A meal when you wake up. A meal before you go to work, A meal at work. A snack at work and a small easily digestible snack before you go to bed or two while you are at work still if you don't want to eat anything before bed.
What a punishing schedule you've got though.
LOL you don't have to sign up to the vegie cooking club you just say you are joining on the thread on the club page and then participate like the rest of us.
This week starting Today, we are going to make felafals which are chickpea balls. They are delicious. Usually eaten in a wrap type sandwich with salad. Could be good for a lunch.

lol Will do, then!
I resisted temptation today. I'm not a huge fast food person, but I do like to treat myself now and then when I get paid. I know that right now, though, it's critical that I don't even do that. When I got off work this morning, I went to the store to et some groceries. I did really well, btw. Strawberries, flatbread, whole grain pringles....the works. Anyway, the one line they had open was long, so I didn't end up getting home until 2 hours after I had gotten off work. When I got in my car at the store, I was very hungry. I thought about how easy it would be to just stop and grab a quick bite. I know that I would inevitably grab a soda with it, too....so....I didn't! I went straight home. When I woke up, I had a couple of strawberries and a banana. Now, I'm waiting for dinner to be done. I feel very good. Oh, and I have been taking a soda with me to work every night, but I didn't last night. Another good step. No caffeine, though, made it a little hard. lol May have to buy some green tea!
Yay!

I have done pretty well with my diet. I've gone down to one can of soda a day, no fried foods, no junk...around 1700 calories a day. I want to walk, but it's been raining nonstop here. Bleh. I'm going to weigh myself when I get off work.

Sounds like you are doing great imanin...
If you need some caffeine, drink coffee or tea with only milk. No sugar. And preferably not too many cups cause its dehydrating.
Its really striking to me how so few people on this forum seem to drink tea or coffee. Noone mentions it in their diaries. I have assumed that means they don't drink it but i wonder if that's the case or are people just not mentioning it.
Do Americans not drink very much coffee or tea?
The best time to weigh yourself is when you get up after sleeping whether its in the morning or at night. The reason for this is that you will weigh less because you have used up energy while you were sleeping and that's for about 8 hours plus about 2-4 hours between your last meal and going to sleep. So that's a long time to burn up calories and also water goes down.

I think it's because Americans are so use to coffee buried under mountains of cream, sugar, or flavored syrups, that we just don't think about drinking it. I can only drink coffee if it has a packet of cocoa in it. I don't put milk or sugar in it. Just hot cocoa. It's very tasty. I could probably just get the low calorie cocoa.
I drank a Pepsi today, and it tasted kind of gross. I guess I'm weaning myself from it successfully.

When i was a teenager, i used to love Vienna coffee which was an expresso with whipped cream on top. But nowadays almost no one in in Australia would order a coffee in a cafe with cream on it. Its full cream milk, or skinny milk. Or a long black. Sugar is a separate option.
In our cafes, we have cappucino (mostly froth), flat white (Less milk no froth), cafe latte (more milk less froth) long black (full size cup no milk), expresso (small strong black no milk - not many people drink this), then there's all the things kids drink. Then there's coffee where the beans have been roasted with flavourings but i don't think anyone uses syrups. And then in a restaurant or a bar you might get alocholic coffees ie with baileys or whisky etc. Many people have their own expresso machines at home now. We have a little italian style one you put on the stove. Its great.

And then in a restaurant or a bar you might get alocholic coffees ie with baileys or whisky etc. Many people have their own expresso machines at home now. We have a little italian style one you put on the stove. Its great.

It has been raining for a straight month here. It's infuriating! I have tried to hold off until it stops, but I can't do it anymore. I am eating so much better, but not seeing the results I would if I was excersing. So...come rain or come shine, I am starting the couch to 5k program. It's 20 minutes. I can do that. I can walk for pretty long distances, but not jog. I want to jog. I want to be able to run and jump and do all of the things that the fat won't let my body do. I want to be able to curl up in a chair with my knees tucked to my chest. Such a silly thing, I know...but, still... I want to wear heels again. They kill my feet, because of my weight. I want to sit down without having to pull the shirt out of my stomach fat. I hate constantly adjusting my tshirt sleeves to hide my arm fat. I just want to be attractive.
