!!! Joanne's Weight Loss Journal!!!

Hey, popping into say good luck! I know how you feel about comparing yourself to your freinds. My best freind and I were inseperable in highschool but I always felt I was not as pretty as her. She had gorgeous black hair, green eyes, and was 5'5" at 105 lbs. But it came at a price. She was anorexic and occasionally struggled with bulemia. I had blonde hair, blue eyes, and at 5'4" was a curvy 145 lbs. After basically being in a love hate relationship for a year we realized that there were things we envied about eachother but that we needed to be happy with ourselves. She envied my silky blonde hair, flawless complexion, and cleavage. I envied her flat tummy, the fact that she could wear ANYTHING, and her big green eyes. We helped eachother to love ourselves and she is no longer anorexic although she will always be thin, and I realize that because of my body type I would look absolutely horrible if I weighed what she does. So try not to look at your friends and wish you looked like them because chances are there is somwthing about you that they envy. Now get out there and eat healthy and try not to worry!
 
I so glad your positive attitude is coming out! You CAN lose the weight. You just have to do it one step at a time, and keep on walkin'. Everyone, even models, have things they don't like about themselves. You can compare till you're blue in the face, but the only thing that actually helps is focusing on yourself, and what you can do, right now, to be healthy and happy. You're beautiful at your current weight and you'll be beautiful when you reach your goal weight, so just relax and try to enjoy life and the weight loss process.
 
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME! :)

Thanks so much! That's so true! I mean when I think about it I'm sure models are jealous of Beyonce because she can eat as much as she wants and be as attractive as them! Not as skinny but who says skinny is equal to beautiful! So the models envy beyonce.. but I'm sure Beyonce envies them too when she can't fit in som clothes! What a funny world! :) So yes, that's true.. no need to envy because surely we are being envied by some people! :p Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!! I keep on thanking everyone I just cant believe how supportive you guys are! :) I will walk.. but then it's raining outside.. so as soon as the sun shines I'm walkin! Thanks again... my positive attitude really is starting to come out :) And I really really badly need it because I know that's the only thing I'm lacking.. attitude.

I started off with dieting last month with my sister who did nothing but try to put me down and say omg you still havent lost weight etc. And it made me feel so sad because she was losing weight and everyone was noticing it.. made me eat alot and ended up gaining weight. This time I'm not going to care.. she can say all she want and I'll keep on going!!! I just wish she'll be more supportive instead though :rolleyes:
 
:) DAY 1

Breakfast - Herbalife Shake
11:58 am - just finished 600 ml water!
Lunch - Chicken Sandwich plus 300 ml water! :)



I am not going to break my diet today! NO NO NO! Weigh in is next week wednesday so I better start working on losing weight!

Yes it's me... :) Aww thank you.... :p


I know I can make it.. it's 30 lbs and I know if I just stick to my plan I can do it in no time! But my boyfriend is sort of in the way for my weight loss because when he's around he wants us to spend quality time together instead of me exercising. so tonight, even if it's raining. i'm going to walk even for just 20 minutes and I dont care he can whine all he wants1!!:D IM WALKIN!
 
You go girl!! XD

Exercise is really important, even if you don't have any weight to lose, so I'm proud of you for doing that. Plus, it makes you feel great.... But you already know all of this, lol. Keep it up!
 
:) thanks! I do know that, but your support really helps :) Coz I do forget about that fact sometimes :p because my butt's saying.. let's just lay down and watch tv haha
 
But it's soo tempting.. because all you need is to lay down and wake up nice and all those lbs has been sucked out! ah yeah sod it. It's better to work out! and the complications liposuction has is scary too.
