losing it again!

Thanx Mal...I am feeling heaps better. But maybe you can give me some tips on how to effectivly freak...I just hate the featherweights!;)
 
Hi Sleeplessinsc! I just finished reading the last couple pages of your journal and wanted to say I'm glad you're in a better frame of mind and I totally can relate to the feeling you expressed about spending the rest of your life fighting being fat. Yea, it's annoying not being one of those metabolically blessed individuals who seem to lose weight while laying on the couch scarfing potato chips (I know one or two of them myself).

But I can offer you the thought that given time and consisent behavior, it really, really does get easier...in some ways almost automatic...to make the kind of daily choices we have to make to keep our weight from going in the wrong direction. The best example I can give you is that for pretty much most of my life if I wanted some crackers and cream cheese it meant I wanted a whole 8 oz pack of cream cheese and as many crackers as I could eat before the cream cheese ran out:) . Now when I think "I want some cheese and crackers" it means exactly 1oz of cream cheese and however many crackers happen to make up a serving size. Period. I don't even think about it really, it's like I'm on autopilot counting out the crackers, cutting off the oz of cheese, eat, enjoy and go on with life.

But that simple act took nearly a year of daily practice until it became "natural"....believe me, until then I had at least a bi-weekly meltdown over the whole "lifestyle changing" process.
 
Thank You CYM...I am very thankfull for the encouraging words and I love to hear from people who are winning this war.I have always been one to not eat all day then have a jumbo burger with fries and a super sized soda! I am having the most trouble just wanting to eat things that are good for me. It seems easier at times to not eat than to eat something "good" But i am getting the hang of it and I only decide I am miserable on occasion the rest of the time I feel great about making the right changes and choices.:p
 
I had a huge post written, but I'm glad you're feeling better. You will be fighting being fat the rest of your life and you know what? You are already fighting a ton of battles you don't even think about.

Every time you brush your teeth you're fighting tooth decay.
Every time you wash you hands you're fighting disease.
Every time you put on a sweater or a warm coat you're fighting the elements.

These things don't seem like struggles because you're used to them. Eventually taking care of yourself by eating right and exercising will feel the same way.
 
Thanx so much guys I am feeling alot better and having a great weekend!

Hi Guys...I am back from a LOOOOOOONG weekend...had a great time and we finished the frame on the chopper so I have been out riding it ALOT! I havent kept track of anything! I guess I am off track but not badly I worked hard all weekend and got my garden weeded and fertilized ect. then went and bought some nice blooming plants ect.My hubby took me out for an early mothersday celebration bought me a ton of plants(what I wanted) and some Johnny Cash cd's (dont laugh! I love the man in black!) I loved all of it, then he brings me a mothersday cake! WHAT?!? Cake! oOooo I am not eating it!
Anyway...I am off to do some working out! Tae Bo and cycle yee haawww:p
 
Yay for you!! What a great weekend!! How fun and satisfying it must have been to get the plants! That just leaves me so buzzed and relaxed at the same time. :D

(I actually saw Johnny Cash walk across a street here while I was waiting for a bus many years ago. I thought "That guy's all in black. Just like Johnny Cash. Actually he looks like Johnny Cash. Just like Johnny Cash." And then I found out he was in our town right at that time!! :) Gorgeous voice. I didn't hear him sing though.)

Ohhh Cerelly I am not gonna be doing a Tae Bo anything for weeks...I wrecked the chopper AGAIN...:cry: And this time it was pretty bad...my right ankle is sprained and my right knee wich was previously injured will have to have an MRI and my left leg got chewed in the chain(YUCK)I am blue from the hips down and in ALOT of pain! It had been raining and I was being very careless mostly just playing around and going much too fast for a chopper on wet dirt dumped the bike and even broke a foot peg off of it...but it wasnt painted yet thank goodness.So I am ok just not great, I am still sticking to my plan and I lifted some weights in a chair today, but until I decide to see a doc I am gonna stay away from the high impact stuff...Yes I am A DORK!
 
OMG! I want to say something silly about doing anything to get out of exercise - except there you are lifting weights in your chair! :confused: :eek: :rolleyes:

I really am sorry to hear that you are soooo banged up. I want to say something mum-like now too. *bites tongue* Well at least give you a hug. *Hugs*
 
Thanx Felici...I feel pretty silly about it! The neighbors were out and I was coming down my long dirt driveway...about 40MPH (crazy) and I am quite sure they all got a good look! Ohhhh well pretty funny.I am used to riding dirt bikes and such but I think I need some knowledge on chopper driving! My hubby wants me to drive it at bike week in Daytona Beach next year...haha!
I am going to get a helmet this weekend! Also I was wearing short shorts and flip flops and was telling myself in my head it wouldnt take 2 minutes to go in and get some jeans and shoes on!!!!I am having a good laugh over it now...and a good limp as well...
