Lena's corner

Hey! Just popping in to say hi. Great progress so far! I'm fairly new to the forum, so reading older journals inspires me(haha). Good job and good luck!
 
Well done on surviving the hideous seminar. As if sending people to sleep wasn't bad enough, the bit where the speaker actually leaves out the part you came for is the real killer.

It sounds like you are really on top of your food and getting the exercise despite all the other ups and downs. Congratulations. :)

thanx felici :D i managed to survive. on the third day the speaker stopped me outside and apologized to for the simplicity but that she will help in any shape or form if i ever need something. lol, she said she's apologizing because she knows i have lots of experience in the field. wonder who told her that one haha. maybe she's here on the forum :D:D

well not actually together haha. i always have to have some piece of fruit after popcorn because i always get so thirsty and i don't crave junk too much afterward. and i make popcorn without oil or butter so its not so high in calories. i do put salt but much less then before.

well yesterday and on friday i didn't post that i lost yet another pound. :jump: :jump: yay for me. i won't update the ticker yet. but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it continues lol.
 
Yey, another pound!
May the internet gods grant you enough time to hang around here.. :)
Hugs,
Juli
PS. How come I'm now thinking of pop corn? :confused:
 
Im sorry your seminars have been crap I hate that when ppl preach what others already know and waste everyones time...grumble grumble grumble,...HA HA HA - good job on hopin on that ellipitcal even if you didnt want to...that is why I liek it so much even when i have to make myself use it I knwo I will feel better once i start and it is an easy form of exercise even if jsut for 30 mins...

Im sorry I havent been by for awhile time jsut hasnt seemed to be on my side lately Ive ust been trying to get to a few here and there a day plus Ive decided to start sleepin in later in the ams and I just dotn seem to get on in the evenings...
 
Nice one with the scales!! :) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. (Except when I'm typing though, I don't know how to do that yet.)
 
thanx ladies. well i'm having an ok day. today it seems like everyone notices that i lost weight. funny thing i only lost 1 pound since last week. and i'm daydreaming all the time hehe. still in the clouds and can't wait for the 21st to see my bf again :D

i was going to post more today, but i'm off to my workout. hopefully i+ll be able to visit more diaries tomorrow.
 
GO LENA!! a pound down awesome!!! your rock girlfriend!! TWO THUMBS UP for Lena today and her great weight loss!! Oh and I've been drinking my water!! OH YEAH!!
Kim
 
Sounds like a great day Lena. That's a big improvement from the headaches and lame speakers :). Isn't it great when people notice?
 
Congratulations on the pound!! I'd take half a pound at this point.

And I just died my hair red, too, right before I left town last week! Couldn't go see old friends with all the gray hairs staring at me. LOL
 
aww its so nice to see all this support come my way :D

it does feel great when people notice. but some comments they make in a way piss me off because everyone thinks i'm on some miracle diet and when they hear i'm actually doing it the "normal" way they just go: "oh", as if they're not really buying it. grrrrr

i also have other side effect of people giving me compliments about me losing weight. on one side it feels so good, but on another is a bit uncomfortable since i'm not comfortable talking about my weight with anyone except people close to me and you guys. and also i noticed that "the worm" immediately makes an appearance and starts whispering in my head. will that ever go away?

maybe it is just lack of self-esteem. but i am boosting it up slowly. i remember once valerie was talking about how we hide during sex, and that was so true for me. well for reasons of abuse but overall feeling too. now that is changing. as i feel more in control about my diet, i feel more in control about all aspects of my life, especially the sexual part. its nice to have sex and feel sexy at the same time. and that sexy didn't come from my partner but i feel that way. i don't know if this makes any sense to you. i'm just writing things as they come lol.

speaking of self-esteem, steve mentioned yesterday something about congitive behavioral therapy. i found it in my case for it to be true. i don't know how deep can it go, but ever since i started thinking positively about life things started changing positively in my life. i started losing weight, i started exercising, meeting new people who like me. and for the first time in my life i can actually say i'm pretty much satisfied with my life and with who i am. tina asked me a few days ago if i regret not doing this journey earlier. in a way yes because i wouldn't have missed out on some things and some dreams, but on the other hand no because i would have missed out on the great stuff that HAVE already happened. no regrets...i was meant to start this journey now. and i can't wait for all the beautiful things that will happen to me on this road.

P.S. sorry for this...i just had an urge to write something hehe

Lena, this is your diary remember?? You can write ANYTHING you wish, and that's exactly what you did. It's good therapy to get it out, I'm proud of you! Your doing a sensational job, your self esteem will improve slowly with time, be patient. Your a very pretty lady inside and out!:angel:

hee hee hee - your a silly girl _ im sorry I havent really been keeping up - Ive been trying to get more sleep and I have alot of stressors in my household and alot that keeps me busy - plus my cute little 2 year old is fastly changing into a mean little manipulative 3 year old - LOL...fun times I tell ya fun times...

Im always happy to come in here and see you doing so well - I trully am happy I met you here !!!
 
Hey Lena, I like it when diaries get into the thought process. The way you're feeling is awesome and is mirroring some of my own feelings. Positive people attract positive things into their life. I regret that I didn't do this at 28, but you know--at least I know that at 48 I won't regret not doing it at 38. Tom waited til 58 to start getting in such fantastic shape, but I guarantee in 10 years he'll be glad he did too. Your attitude is terrific and it'll carry you far further than anything else. Positive people are sexy!
 
Hiya Lena.

I am so happy for you, that things are going well.

You are a wonderful person. :) :hug2:
