*Lilia's Diary*

Unlucky me

I was pretty unlucky, I woke up at 1 o'clock this morning, feeling nauseous and all weird. :puke:I had a gastro (I don't know if that's how it's called in english), meaning I ended up trowing up for over 5 hours (with stops from time to time). :angelsad2:
By 4 o'clock, I was afraid I would lose almost all water found in my body. When my boyfriend got up around 6:45 am, I asked him if he could take a run and buy 7up, mineral water and Lipton soup, all to get the gastro to pass. I couldn't drink normal water because I would throw it up. :ack2:
Mostly I'm pretty sure when I weight myself tomorrow I will have lost quite a bit of weight because of the water loss and not really eating, but I won't be worth anything like loosing it after training, because I will quite probably gain it back when I start eating again when my tummy settles down again. I just wante to eat, traing and study right now, but it's not exactly a good time for that, I could end up making myself even sicker. So yeah, today is getting better day, so that tomorrow I can get back to my normal life! :hurray:
:hug2:

After being sick all of yesterday and feeling not very good this morning, I decided to weight myself knowing I would have lost some weight. I had been able to drink a lot of fluids and to eat some Lipton soup without being sick and losing it all. Still, I had lost over 5 pounds in less than 2 days (mostly due to water loss and not being able to ingest any food for quite some time). I was able to study a little and relax. Also my boyfriend also got sick so he spent the day with me. I will probably gain a little bit of that weight in the next few days but I'm just happy not to be sick anymore.

Ugh tumy bugs are the worst! I hate hate hate them and I am always afraid I will catch one... I had a friend who also said "I hope for a tummy bug to get rid of these 5.10.15 pounds", but it is the worst way of losing and it comes back as soon as you are properly hydrated again!

Anyhow rest and take it easy for a day or two, you deserve it after all that nausea and vomiting. Camy

They are the worst, and it is the worst way to loose weight and with all the pain it gives, it's not worth the weight loss (especialy since you usually gain it all back!)

Thanks I will relax and sleep lots!

I had to go to work this morning and although I didn't feel perfectly healthy, I still felt much better. When I got back around 8:30 am, I decided I would weight myself to see how it was going after beginning to eat more normaly since yesterday night. I got on my Wii Fit to see how my weight was going and that's when the very obese cat of the house decided to come and began liking my toes (it really tickled by the way). I had taken 1,1 pound which wasn't really a surprise. Then I decided to weight the cat since we've been trying to make her loose some weight (she's really too big)! But then the Wii said the cat had lost over 0,7 pounds (in a day)! That was just not possible (it would be like losing 15 pounds in a day for us)! I decided to weight myself again, since I thought maybe the cat had changed my weight when she decided to lick my toes. And apparently it had, because I really only gained 0,2 pounds since yesterday morning. It should still go up a bit in the next few days but that's okay, I feel better and I will be able to do my training! :D

Now back to my studying

Hey guys! :)
Now I'm back on tracks! :)
I have began eating normaly again and I began my training yesterday. Now I'm all happy, my weight only went up by 0,4 pounds today so it should start going down pretty soon!
Yesterday I had a diner with my friend Gaby, it was great. I was really happy because she was the first person to tell me I looked like I had lost weight without knowing before. Also it's always interesting to talk about eating healthy and those things with her because she was overweight a few years ago And knows how it feels. Now she has a health problem that makes it hard for her to keep a healthy weight, even if she eats lots of food, she loses weight. She says it's sad because a lot of her friends are jealous about it when they shouldn't since it's a sickness and she needs to go to the doctor really often so that her health doesn't get worst. And sometimes she gets really sick and can't eat (as if she had a tumy bug). There are tons of things she can't eat and can't do because it could make her sick so I can understand why it makes her angry when people get jealous about her losing weight when for real it's dangerous for her life.
I think that's why she likes to spend time with me, although I do want to lose weight and get healthy, I understand that for her getting healthy is gaining weight because otherwise she could get really sick and that would be horrible.
Anyways, we had a lot of fun and ate sushis!
 
Hey people!
I'm so happy because yesterday evening I was able to go back to eating completly normally without feeling nauseous. And this morning I ate a pretty big breakfast (but soooo good!)
I had:
- 1 cup of apple sauce
- 1/2 cup of rasberry yogourt with some oatmeal in it
- 1 toast
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1 whole orange

I was kind of scared of the scale since I started eating normally again and I was pretty sure my weight would be around 1 pound higher but in fact, it was 0,4 lower! I was ecstatic!
But now I feel a bit sad since I'm kind of losing all motivation to write my diary here because I don't feel like people are participating and commenting on it and I kind of feel like I'm talking about my weight loss to a wall. So yeah, I'll see if I keep this journal up or not.
Hugs

Lillia don't lose motivation because people don't post, think that sometimes they have other things to do or feel that other people who are struggling a bit more need their help more at this point and invest their time in that.
I had a diary nobody ever commented in. literally I had 3 pages with not a single comment in it. Yeah it wasn't hugely motivational but I was doing this for me not for other people to applaud me, so I kept going. In time people will be more familiar with you and will comment more often. If you have a large group of people who have some interest in you or who you take an interest in, chances are one of them will write a comment or something for you and then you will get daily posts.
I have had two or three comments in one day and then 2 or 3 days without a single comment... it happens but has nothing to do with me and everything with other people not having time. On weekdays I struggle to find time to write in my own diary, let alone others. Sometimes I try harder and write a comment here or there, or try to explain stuff to beginners... give something back, but most days after 16 hours out and about I am just ready to log my food and go to bed.

I am glad you are still losing weight even after the sickness, I am nervous about the scales on tuesday as I hope I will have lost the bloating from the period and maybe a weightloss on top of it (136-135 pounds would be heaven!). But I see myself as thinner, my tummy is clearly receding so I am happy even if the scales won't please me.
About your friend that sounds awful, my best school friend from back in the days is skinny and she wishes she could be bigger, but she cannot gain weight. She does no exercise and eats normally, even a lot of sweets and sugar and fat, mc donalds flurries on a regular basis, etc... but nothing. She finds it terribly frustrating and says it is worse than me wanting to weigh less because I am managing and working towards it but she just has to learn to accept that her body won't change. So being skinny is not everyone's dream!

Have a great weekend, Camy
 
Thanks for commenting Camy! :)
I know this diary is suposed to be for me and that I shouldn't depend on people commenting or not, and I know you can't comment on my diary everyday at that's okay, I don't always have the time either. I suppose I was a little down.
Hopefully you will do great on the scale on tuesday and it always helps when you notice you look slimmer (I just love it!). :willy_nilly:

My brother had the same problem your friend has and he has now put on some weight in the last year. But I fear it might not be good for him because it runs in the familly (for men) that once they get around 30 years old they start putting on a lot of weight. And since my brother has been trying to gain weight for years by eating very unhealthy, well, I'm afraid it's gonna backfire on the long run (when he reaches the critical age). But everyone has a different metabolism and I think almost everyone (if not everyone) struggles with their weight (weither it shows or not!). :ack2:
And it's true being skinny isn't everyone's dream (you can see it in the Renaissance paintings and just in the way the perfect woman was depicted in the past, she had quite a few curves!)
Thanks for commenting again! :D

Hey guys! :)
Now, my weight is starting to go down again and I'm still training as much as I can! I have eaten some chocolate in the last few days, but thankfuly it didn't influence my weight much. Tomorrow I'm supposed to meet with a high-school mate in a café, but I already know I'll stick to tea since I know very well how caloric a hot chocolate can be! (a medium hot chocolate with some whipped cream is almost 500 calories, without the whipped cream it's abour 380 calories but it gives a good idea of weither I should drink it or now.) I'm gonna stick to my 60 calories home prepared hot chocolate! And take some spicy tea at the café. :D
