Lena's corner

Mal, you're shocking me...you're not a dirty old lady anymore? there is a smile? a rebellious fun aunt? i'm gonna be that too in a matter of days hehehe
you can blame Lisa for my new title (somethingnew :) she bestowed it upon me - I will always be a dirty old lady -that's ot gonna change :D
 
bonjour lena baby! long time no see sweetiepie. i do so hope youre okay. did you have a marvellous time at the boyfriends?
xx
 
i'm here. i've been so busy with work i didn't have any time to post. and that makes me feel really bad, b/c i tend to crave things i don't need, and i need you guys to help me stay away from these things. mainly chocolate lol. well i managed to kill that craving today by having choco muesli (only 200 cals per serving) with choco soya drink.

i didn't lose any weight this week due to TOM, but i do feel difference in my stomach. upper part is really getting a shape. gotta keep doing those crunches lol.

i also forgot to write all my exercise i did last week for my challenges, so i'll do that now:

last saturday: 5 miles walk
last sunday: 5 miles walk
monday: 5 miles walk
thursday: 2 miles (2 hour aerobics)

i'll try and catch up with all you guys this weekend.
hugs,
Lena
 
Hi Lena. It's great to know the visit was soooo successful. How lovely that you are enjoying such a happy time. I wonder what you were thinking about during those 12 hours on the way back. :) Nah - I reckon I know. :)
 
Hey Lena!! I'm happy to see that your still walking all those miles. That's just wonderful!! And you mentioned your stomach feeling smaller, oooo that is a good feeling. Keep up the great work!!

I have been bad today foodwise...not so much calorie wise...but still. i ate two pieces of chocolate mousse cake and two whole wheat sandwiches (small bagels) but still not something i'm proud of. i didn't sleep well and i'm a bit cranky and nervous (my sister in law is having a child as we speak) so i feel like i'm there too hehe. and i'm nervous cause i won't be ble to see the baby for the first few days.
but those are not excuses for me to eat the way i did today. please someone get me straight!!!!
 
My guess would be Cinderelly deleted a diary of hers and you might very well have had a bunch of posts in there - once a thread gets deleted - any posts you had in there also get deleted and your count drops...
 
ooooh thanx mal...i thought i was halucinating or something.

BTW I JUST BECAME AN AUNT :D:D:D of a little girl who is 53 cm long and weighs 3,50 kg :D and her name will probably be Petra :D
 
About the food - 2 whole wheat sandwiches doesn't sound too bad I guess it might make you overfull if you ate all that stuff at the same time! I'm betting you know what you have to do. :)

I'm glad you asked about your posts - mine will have dropped too thus explaining my sense that I had hallucinated a higher rep which is no longer there!! :D

Most importantly: Congratulations Auntie Lena. Wow - Petra would be a pretty name for the baby. How exciting! Have you been an auntie before?
 
:D CONGRATULATIONS LENA~~~~ Or should I say "AUNT LENA" or do you prefer AUNTIE LENA??? Oh how exciting. I hate to say this, but I think you deserved that splurge of chocolate to celebrate this event. Now, it's time to get back and focused. ~~HUGS~~ and ~~PAT ON BACK~~ for the NEW AUNT!! FOCUS, FOCUS today and drink that water!!! Talk to you later gator!

We all have days were we eat a bit more t han we want or should part of the struggle and the trail and error - you could have done alot worse...I wouldnt even count the tiny little bagel sandwiches...think abt what and how you would have eaten before...

btw how come my posts have come from 1079 to 1042???? strange people i tell ya hehehe

IM SORRY - my count went down as well - I guess I shouldnt have deleted it:(:eek: :(

hehe thanx all :) well i'm auntie in english, but in croatian i'm teta :D

petra means rock in greek. and after what she and her mom went thru during pregnancy she definitely deserves that name, she was stubborn to survive from her second month :) she's just so cute hehe i can't wait to see her in live. i'm going to spoil that kid so much :D

i did overeat today. and it was the nerves, but it was also because i was bored. i'm constantly craving food. i had enough for today...too much, and i feel bad. i need to get back on track and i need help doing it. so in the next post i'm going to write some things i wrote in my very first post and analyze it a bit. i guess i need to focus and focus hard on my food.
 
MOTIVATIONS FOR LOSING WEIGHT:

• prevent future health problems.
be able to breathe better.
sleep better.
move better.
fit into clothes better.
have a sense of accomplishment and control. well, most of the time
have more energy.
• be more attractive to other people in general.
• prove to people I can lose weight.
• inspire others to do the same.
have a better self-esteem.
relieve some of my moodiness, depression or anxiety.
make some hard decisions about the course of my life.
make my life feel like its going somewhere.
have more day-to-day fun.
better handle the ups and downs of life.
• be more independent.

• be less critical of myself.
• be more free of doubts and fears.
feel more deserving of the good things I have in life.
• shed some of my shyness or discomfort around people.


and reasons why i sabotage myself:
• food is my best friend and I don't think I can give up eating the
way I do.
• I need food to get rid of my negative feelings.
food calms me down when I'm angry or frustrated.
when I'm lonely food makes me feel better.
food is one of the only things that can keep me occupied when I'm
bored.

• since I can't be perfect it feels like there's no point to dieting.
it helps me quiet my inner-critic.
• I just love junk food and the feeling it gives me.
overeating is the only way I know how to make myself stop feeling
empty inside.

• I am always taking care of everyone and food is my reward.
• I have regrets about my unfulfilled potential and eating helps me
deal with it.
food feels like my protection.
• I don't want anybody or anything to stop me from eating what I
want.
being overweight is my way of getting back at someone.
being overweight makes me feel safe.
• food, or being overweight, excuses me from challenging myself.
• being overweight protects me from unwanted sexual attention.


in good parts i pointed out in red the things that i am already experiencing, and in bad the fears and urges to sabotage myself that are still present although in much less quantity than before.
i know i made progress. and i need to continue to do that. i don't want to fool myself into going back to where i was four months ago. so FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS
i know it seems funny i'm like this because of two pieces of cake and some sandwiches, but i don't want to make myself believe like it is ok to do it once and a while. because its not ok. its ok to crave chocolate and eat a small piece of it. its ok to plan ahead your meals. but its not ok for me to overeat just because i+m bored and nervous. Lena you don't need food to comfort you. you gave into it now... but from now tell that FUCKIN WORM TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! (sorry for the language :))
 
That's right!! Get back on track and keep rolling! Your fine to have splurged a day. Just get busy and maybe do a little walking today. DRINK TONS of water to help fill you up, and keep smiling. Your fine!! it's just a thing and it will pass. Keep up the good work and tomorrow is a new day, with no mistakes!
