Kaitie's Open Diary

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!!

Well aside from losing my freakin' bank card AGAIN!!!, dropping everything I try to put in my hands, and a loud snoring husband everythings going good. I really have absolutely no motivation to continue dieting and exercising---the freakin' scale has stopped moving...once again I'm stuck at the 7's. This time it's 167.5 and it's been that flipping number for almost a month. It's freakin' annoying. Is there anything that I can do/take to make the freakin' fat burning process start up again? Ok so now that I reflect on this post I guess I'm not really doing to hot...

hmm.

I'm eating between 1200-1500 calories a day, I exercise at least 4 times a week for one hour (30 min. cardio 30 min. weight lifting/sit-ups)---I'm just frustrated.
 
change the diet and the exercise. Shake things up a bit.
If you are cycling then try running, or vice versa. Try aquarobics if you havnt. Try throwing a few more calories in there so you're eating about 1500-2000 for a couple weeks then slip it back down again (to make sure your body isnt in starvation mode)
 
Heya's Katie,
Sorry about the plateau I am sure it will
pick back up in no time.I don't think you have really
had a plateau until you have reached 160's?I've heard
almost everyone has one you just have to be strong and
like "wishes" said maybe mix things up maybe even have
1 day where you eat a little more calories than go back
down to the 1200-1500?Don't give up you have came to
far! You can do it,hope you have a gr8 WEDS,Tammy:)
 
Exercises for today:

151 calories burned on the treadmill
150 sit-ups
60 compound row
30 curls

I'm not very talkative right now....
 
Hey there Katie,
Awww thats ok we are here if ya wanna talk/type lol!
Congrats on all the exerscing have a gr8 night Tammy
 
Mornin Kaitie!! Please don't give up!!! You've come a long way. I just went through a "whatever" phase, and was not quite eating the way I should. I realized I've worked too hard to quit. Wishes advice is right on the money!! I plateaued for three months, scale wouldn't move. I actually did increase my calories...but after two weeks cranked up the exercise (groan). I know, but I started walking a total of 1.5 hours a day, and added hand weights, and voila!!! The scale started moving again. She's right, "shake it up".

OMG do I ever.... and as a man...I'm not supposed to be super emotional according to the 'status quo' Well..I like to say that I break the mold for guys! Some days, I'm just SUPER under the weather with my emotional state... only problem is..I can never get myself to cry... Don't worry Katie... you're doing fine! Don't give up okay?! WE're all here for you! Sometimes you need time to regroup... you're doing ALLLL Right!!! Keep your head up!
 
Yes, Kaitie I do have those days. I allow myself to cry. I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time right now. This weight loss thing is not easy, we all know that in here. I know you are frustrated with the plateau, but at least you aren't gaining!!! This time of year doesn't help may peoples emotional state either. The holidays are stressful in so many ways, food, family, and financial just to name a few. It's cold and dreary outside, and spring seems far away. You have started a fire within yourself to do this. Your diary is a source of inspiration to others who never thought they could do it!!! Your goal is reachable, we're here to support you!! Hang in there!!!

Yup - it's no fun. *hugs* Cry if you need too - nothing like a good release of emotion to make things a bit more bearable. Hang in there, it'll pass.
 
:) I got flowers! I LOVE getting flowers!!!

*smells them* Oh they are wonderful---Thanks so much!!!

*dances around with glee*


And finally...more good news---down to 165. Thanks goodness---I was going to strangle someone if I didn't lose any weight this week. :) One of my students parents wrote me an e-mail yesterday saying that she thought I was one of the students and that I look great---it so put me on cloud nine!

Marriage is suckin' at the moment but at least I'm skinnier and miserable.
 
Good news- That's awesome! I've been waiting for you to catch up; I'm at 164.:) I'm sorry you were stuck for so long :(
Bad news- I hope things with John are workoutable (is that a word?). Try not to let it get you too down.
 
Ya know dari, It's just been 7 years of the same deal---and no matter what I say or do it's not going to change. How can that be good? I've been really really patient and I've put up with people gawking at us in public, making snide remarks, laughing at him---I just can't stand it anymore. It's humiliating me. I feel like I'm fat when I'm with him....and I don't want to be known as 'the fat couple'. I'm tired of him sitting in two theatre seats, I'm tired of being squished in my chair because he's to fat to fit in his own. We went to see 'Annie' the other day in New York City and the house was packed. Luckily we got an aisle seat so that his fat wouldn't squish some poor innocent victim but it didn't matter---he never sat in the chair. He left me to sit by myself for the whole show while he went and found some nose-bleed seats that he could sit in and 'be comfortable'. So here I am, all dressed up in my new size 12 pants and my new top from the skinny old navy store and I sat by myself. We paid 75 dollars for those tickets and he went and sat in the 25 dollar seats. I'm just fed up with it all. We went to weigh ourselves today and while he's down 2 pounds, it's two of the 8 pounds he re-gained during the holidays. I just feel like he's never ever going to be skinny, that's he never ever going to be able to satisfy my needs, that he's always going to attract negative attention and laughs---I'm just so tired of it all.

Then stop trying to change him.
Either leave him or accept him for who he is.
