Irishprincess weight loss progress!!

Ate good day 1290 cals and did 25 mins of fast walking. I wasn't even sore this morning after spinning last night, but then again it was BEGINNERS lol. I have a hard year ahead of me so from now to may if i am not on this much that is the reason why. College work lies ahead and i am soooooo allergic. I don't even know what i can exactly do after my degree and i am beyond depressed thinking of it. I have been feeling really down in myself since the middle of august, especailly the last couple of weeks. I think the major reason for feeling this down is because i am feeling really lost in life. I am 22 and have nothing to show for it compared to most of the 22 year olds that i know of... also i keep comparing myself to people, and this always leads me to feeling super shitty about myself. I WISH I COULD JUST BE HAPPY with myself:( it sucks feeling so low at the moment. I am sorry for ranting but its good to get it off my chest in ways.


Hope everyone is great:)



Love

I have worked though a few "identity crisis" periods myself.


Remember happiness isnt a place you get to all at once. It is a destination that you approach.


You are working on self improvement (school, fitness...) That is the right road. You seem a lot more sentient that I was at 22. I was too clueless to reflect on where I was in life.
 
2 good days down.OH YAAA. Just need to keep up the healthy eating now and NOOO breaking out. I would love to have good days eating up till the 14th of october. Its like my mini goal for myself. So if i complete this that means i would have done 12 perfect days eating good:D


SO FINGERS CROSSED I CAN DO THIS.


Exercise for today was a 65 min fast pace walk. gooooo me.

Cals for today: 1390

Lucy i dont even know why you are on this forum...you have an AMAZING figure,i mean to die for!! Loving your hol pics, talk about what my new motivation to not eating rubbish is;)


Im studying economics, and its a balls- well i love it but theres just SO SO SO SO much of it:( I have a very hard year ahead of me:(


Hope u are well chick xxx
 
Aww, I'd be hungry too if I only ate 1200 calories!! I've worked out a few days with the plan from my nutritionist and I think I eat like 1400-1600 a day and I'm pretty sedentary still. I'm feeling kind of low too, just been reminded how much I hate this town. Also quit my job today so I'm a bit... well, what now? I had to quit anyway, was told before I left that they had no seated work for me so I was without a job anyway. Ah.


And I'm on this site because I have health and fitness goals I'm still striving for- I want abs! And legs strong enough to get me through a day of work again, and one day even run again. I find I keep going much better if I'm writing everything down and logging for all to see. I know I'm not overweight, but still far from where I want to be. Everyone has different goals :biggrin:
 
Had a good day eating today!! woop woop. 1204 cals and no chocolate made those bad boys up!! HALLELUJAH:) Also went to spinning class today!! So hard but again, SOO WORTH IT afterwards!!:)


I am still feeling super depressed in myself:( I am 22 and have nothing to show for it compared to most of the 22 year olds that i know of... also i keep comparing myself to people, and this always leads me to feeling super shitty about myself. I WISH I COULD JUST BE HAPPY with myself:( it sucks feeling so low at the moment.

I keep comparing myself to this guy i had liked for years( hes not even goodlooking but i like him anyway) anyway he is a major dick-head but is super brainy and has a gf...while i have no one..

uuuuuuuuuuugh.


Motivation quote of the day:


YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO FAST, YOU JUST HAVE TO GO


Hope all is well with everyone.


Lucy: HOTTIE you eat more cals than me hun because im a fattie that doesnt exercise where you are always being so good. Oh i am so sorry you quit your job hun, i hope you are in a happier place with your life now? Thats the main thing!:):) Sending you big hugs gorgeous:):) I applaud your detemination to stay fit:)


Thanks a mill Anna hun, im finding it kinda hard at the moment if im being honest:):)

A:( Hugs x

22 is young! Just the start of things, and you are doing a bloody economics degree, may I remind you, as well as working, and going out and about with you friends. You will ABSOLUTELY have load of stuff to show for your life in 10 years time. At 22 its all about whether you have a car, or your own place.. Nothing important really. What matters is the person you are, the memories you create, and the fun you have in life.

Saying that, I wish I could be happy with myself too. We probably need our heads bashed together :)

You should join a dating website, plenty of fish is supposed to be good :) x
 
Haha Irish I mentioned my calorie intake is higher as because you weigh more than me, you would need more as you would burn more than me just by functioning. If your calorie intake is too low it can affect you in the long run, slowed metabolism or you might find yourself overeating a fair bit on 'bad' days. Only looking out for you :biggrin:


AH I'm 24 and don't have much to show for it, haven't even studied what I want to yet (just have 2 qualifications I DON'T use)... I think it's only a small percentage of people that truly 'have it together' at any age. Sure I'm married and I own an apartment, but that was never an original goal, that's just something that happened along the way. My real goals were to have been a nutritionist by now and to have travelled a fair bit... Instead I'm not even starting study till next year and I'm stuck in a horrid little town without a job. Eh, you do what you can! I think it sounds like you are doing really well for yourself, you need to stop comparing yourself to other people and acknowledge your own achievements! Be proud of yourself!! (Ie- you graduate soon!! Woohoo!!! And every day you eat healthy you are a day closer to the body you've always wanted!)
 
Hello everyone:)


I am here writing a quick post. The last 6 days i have been eating really good. The best i have been eating since before my holidays which was over a month ago :O I went for an hour walk yesterday and went to the GYM today where i did 30 mins fast walking on treadmill, and 15 mins eleptical cross trainer followed along with weigh lifting for 5 mins. It was a fun i must say. I need to increase my water consumption fo sho.


My head is still in a very dark place. I feel like im not fully there when im talking to people. I just feel so empty and numb. I don't know what to do, i think im severly depressed and all i want to do is DRAG myself out of it!! I don't like feeling like this, i like feeling happy and content with life. Please god be good to me:( I am hoping that in another 2 weeks time i will have snapped out of whatever i am going through at the moment and be back into the positive world. I keep fearing for the future, it sounds patheic, but i am scared of what proper adulthood will bring and that i more than likely will be a failure. So sorry for the depressing talk.


Hope everyone is doing great:)


Loads of love

Ruth: Heeeeeey hun thanks for the kind advice:) Ireland is so competetive at the moment, like there is 4 main unviersities( including my own) that so many talented and intelligent graduates will be coming out of this year competing with silly old me. My course this year is rather hard and its sickening thinking of how much more confident other people will be in the work force come after my degree. I dont know how to drive- because i was never intrested in learning when i was 17 and also i still live at home like many 22 year olds that i know of:(:( and hahaha WE DEFO need our heads bashed together!! I don't believe in interent dating hun, i tried somthing like that briefly when i was 17 and aaaaaaa, not for me:) Hope ur well chicken


xxxxxxxxxx



Lucy: Lucy your 24 and MARRIED!!!!!!!!!! to a lovely man......... i am so jealous of you for that!! Wow, you'd make a great nutritionist plus cant wait for you to go back and study something you want to reaaaaally do:):) Thanks for the positive vibes hun, i wish i was as positive as you!!!!!!!!!xxxx
 
Thanks brawny, that seems like a very positive saying:):)


I had another good day today, consumed 1185 cals, and walked for 50mins at a fast pace in the FREEZING COLD. I am proud of me the last 3 days, i have been consistently exercising!:) Staying in tonight and being good, xfactor is on... can't say i am into to say the least. I think its a total fix. Although, i think that girl ella( not sure of the spelling, but she's 16 and is amaaazing at siniging)



Hope i don't have loads of saggy skin like josie in this article, but Daily Mail are constantly saying how fat she is, which is so unfair since she lost so much weight

Another positive quote for the day


'wow i really regret that workout' no one ever.


night ya'll

Heya sweetness- Just a thought, does your college/uni have a therapist on staff? I know that when I was studying they did- maybe it's not a bad idea to speak to someone about how you're feeling with school ending etc. You DEFINITELY won't be the first person to approach them with that, I'm sure they're well trained to help you transition into life after school. It's never a bad thing to ask someone for help, I saw the therapist once because I was struggling juggling work, work experience, full time study and not seeing my husband and was thinking about quitting, but didn't want to, and I felt trapped etc. They offer good suggestions and coping skills, and if nothing else it's good to get stuff off your chest to a stranger. I find that someone with an unbiased opinion usually points out things much better than someone you know! Really hope you start feeling better soon lovely xx
 
Ive had two days this week, where i eat healthy and then in the nighttime a huge appetite comes over me and i go on a mini splurge( when i say mini i mean it could be alot worse but i do cause damage) I need to be GOOD. getting weighed in on friday..aaaaaaaaahhh


Going to the gym laters, consumed 1200 cals for the day and went spinning yesterday!



will power is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.


Thanks sooooooooooo much Lucy, your always so kind. Yeah i think there is a therapist in college but i dont really want to visit them. I am feeling too low at the moment, and i dont know how i would approach them. I hope i get better soon too hun, i feel like i have good days, and then AWFUL days:( I suppose i need some confidence, it would help alot xxxxx
 
Irish, I found something that perfectly puts into words what I want to get across. So getting all motivational- poster on you right now:





What do YOU want to do when you finish school? Instead of seeing it as the end of something, see it as an exciting new experience. You will no longer have to study! All the knowledge you have earned and worked hard for and stressed over can finally be put to use- so what would you do if you knew you had no chance of failing? And what is stopping you from doing it?


x
 
Hey Irish. I love Lucy`s quote and it is true then end of something brings the start of something else new and scary but also very exiting!!!! Seing the therapist at your low point could be what you need to get out of it!!! Hope you feel better soon!!!! Keep up the good workouts you are doing so great!
 
Hi guys, ate really healthy today. Consumed 1200 cals. Had a really stressful day at college today. Yuck. I am still feeling so down and low, its weird. Yesterday i was feeling better than i did today. I suppose i am lost in the direction i am going in life. Lucy- you are so sweet, thanks for the thoughtfulness but i don't know what i want to do after college. I suppose my main problem is THAT I AM STILL FREAKING COMPARING MYSELF TO everyone that is better than me!!!!!! Its so frustrating, i haven't been this down in ages. Guys i hope i get better soon.



Thanks Lucy& Vero xxx
 
Maybe hunt down a career advisor or something to help you make the decision? It's definitely not something you need to decide on your own. I think it's a good idea to get on that quickly- then you have something to look forward to after study! Haha stop comparing yourself to other people- I hadn't even made any real career decisions when I was your age! I had a string of shitty jobs- well actually, I think I was a bakery manager then, but in a supermarket with stupid hours and getting treated like shit. Point is- everyone is different! I think your issues are more with accepting yourself for who you are, which I think is a bit sad because you're such a lovely person, your personality JUMPS out of your journal. And soon you will have a really impressive qualification that you can do SOMETHING with, what does it matter if you haven't quite decided what yet? Also you are making positive decisions about what to put in your body, you're being active and healthy. Most of the 22 year olds I know are working dead end jobs and out partying every single night and living on alcohol and takeaway (my younger bro and sis are in that category- I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that you are much more 'together' and mature than SO many people your age).


I really wish you could see in yourself what we all see in you!!! Hoping you feel better soon, I know exactly where you are in your head so most of what I've said will probably bounce right off you... just know that I mean it and I'm thinking of you. And you will get out of this rut you are in! xx
 
I HAVE OFFICALLY LOST 36.75 lbs[/b]:):) GOOOOOOOOO ME. I am less than 4 pounds away from losing 40 pounds in total, and 5 pounds away from losing 3 stone. Delira, had a bad day eating though.



Lucy!!!!!!!!:) You are the kindest person with A HEART OF GOLD. Yeah i will plan on meeting up with a career guidance councillor next week. Hopefully that will give me a ease of heart.You are totally right, everyone is different and i need to learn to accept the person i am. That is so kind that you said my personality jumps out of my journal. thank u soooooo much:) I hope i feel better soon hun, and thanks again for being so kind to me:) you are a star xxx
