Love my hubby...but would love to turn a head or two again....

My Body Bugg makes me feel like a failure...

...it mocks me..it talks to me with a lispy and raspy voice...and says things like..."really you are going to nap today?".... "are you really just gonna lay there and not move today at all"...."well at least your lazy in eating today to young lady...and managed a pitiful deficit.....PATHETIC!! "

Well you know what BODY BUGG!!!..I say "THANK YOU for calling me YOUNG!! Yes I said it..I am a compliment whore and will take what I can get!! So kiss off and I will beat you tomorrow...my Black and Beeping Mence..you and me will duel tomorrow..o yes we will!"
 
Damn RIGHT, you are young! Tell that body bug!

I love it! You are recapturing you, every moment you go! Getttttt it!!! It all starts with the mind! Once we can control our minds, then our bodies just follow! And I completely hear you on, wanting to turn heads and look sexy. After a while in a relationship, I know that I have been in points of feeling overlooked or invisible too.

Well damn, I mean, that's probably why we live seperate now after 5 1/2 years of living together. It's been over a year now on my own & honestly, Thank God! LOL!! Just sayin!

Your kids are about to see a KICK ASS MOM, BREAK THROUGH!!! Yeaaa YEAAA!!! :gnorsi: ~:beating: Alta
 
you have a very beautiful face and smile.. if you reach to 150 lbs, i bet then you can be a supermodel. keep on track!

Hi everyone..so here I am for all the right reasons...health...energy...overall wellness in body and soul!!

...but if we are being completely honest...I miss being cute!!! I miss driving in a a shinning and clean car...and turning a few heads...I miss getting an extra glance from the waiter..or a little flirt from a clerk.

...now lets get something clear...I am maddeningly in love with my husband...I mean like over the top...we have the most affectionate, caring and physical relationship that most dream of...I am actually missing him as I type and he is only at work..that is how much I love him.

...but again I miss knowing that I am still wanted..does that make sense.... :p

So join me in my random rants as I start this crazy trip down the weight loss highway..and hopefully I won't have to many major wrecks on the way :auto:

So some stats to start..I am 5'3 and my starting weight was 220...I am currently 5'3 (for some reason I don't gain height? :smilielol5:) and 197.2....I will be celebrating the 8th anniversary of my 30th bday in Feb and I am a mom of two teenager boys 15 and 13.

I found a great dress...I'll make sure to grab a pic in it all "dolled up"..I actually feel good in it...not just that it was my size and it covered my rolls..hahaha...

that was my criteria before..BLACK and COVER UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! I am slowing moving away from that...this one has color too...haha :smilielol5:
 
Hi! I just found this forum, and found your diary. Congratulations on your success so far. A 25 pound weight loss is awesome. Keep "rocking" it!!
 
:D can't wait to see it!

That was my criteria for clothes as well, must have arms, must be baggy round the tummy, must have a V neckline. It ends up being hard work, and not fun at all. I hate finding something that should look nice, and trying it on only to feel like crying as it looks horrible. My accesories have got much better though lol.

Friend-a-mies!!!!!!!

So have you ever had one..or two..or sometimes to you feel like all your friends are not really your friends...just more like people you can share moments with and not puke at the sight of them?

So my yesterday started pretty sweet..meet my June goal...found a dress...kids straightened up the house with out being threatened with bodily harm...all and all a good day.....

...then it happened....a text from a from my BFF...my sons Godmother...the closest thing I have to a sister...the one who held my hair as I prayed to the porcelain god as a youth...the one who's hand is always there in my time of need!! She is a good person and I love her dearly...yes yes I do!!

It was an innocent txt to start...we will call her A for anonymity sake :smilielol5:..and it went as follows...

A: I hear your headed to the mall.
Me: yep, need a new outfit for that wedding.
A: Good, get something cute..so I can steal it..haha...I have one (a wedding) on the 9th.
Me: Ok.. gtg..ttyl :)

So you are sitting here thinking SO WHAT...THAT WAS NOTHING..WOW ...TETE!!!.... you need to calm down...she just wants to borrow your new outfit..that is what girlfriends do...

ummmmmmm....She is 300 pounds and 2 inches shorter...we haven't been the same size in 2 years!! she as put on at least 60 alone this year!!...

She refuses to acknowledge my progress at all..she refuses to say "good for you"...i would even take a "I hope this time is the real time" ANYTHING...but there has been nothing...

it hurts..because when she lost 50 pounds 3 years ago...I was her number one cheerleader...her ..." you make me proud...I wish I had your motivation" friend...the one who asked her all about how she was doing it...and the one when she called crying about gaining all the weight back plus some...the one who told her it would be ok...we would do it together the smart and slow way this time...no crazy pills...shots or yahoo Dr's who want your money and don't give a crap about your health...we were gonna do it together!!

Well I am doing it on my own ..with a hubby and other friends and family supporting me and cheering me on...but the dearest one of all ..refuses to take part... :cry: :cry:
 
Hello tetemcg,

I was reading your story. I am somewhat in your situation, I went yesterday and bought non-black blouses/t-shirts...I had a friend that was a bit straight to the point and when we were going out together she was saying to me: ''..and yet..another black t-shirt...another black pair of trousers' and Me: I'm fat..can't wear something bright or colourfull.and she said: why the fuck do you continue eating then? start dieting..start loosing weight..dooooo something...do you really comply yourself like this?
It's so easy to say...well, she lost 20 kg( pregnancy weight) in 2 months...now she's size 8 and has a flat tummy. She admits eating once a day but says beauty requires sacrifices.
Regarding the moral support issue..be happy, my dear, because you at least have your husband to support you..Mine always says I'm not gonna make it...and I feel like crap.
Yes, I would love to turn some heads again...just to feel I'm not invisible.
kisses!
 
eating once a day?

um...wow. unhealthy and unrealistic. That's not a lifestyle change..that is the path to a crash diet.
 
Hi hi! Just been reading through your diary - SUCH a great achievement so far! Good on ya! Can't wait to see some pics of you in your new dress :)

Thanks for the article/link...overtherainbow :) :) :)

So its Tuesday and I really have nothing to say...haha...when to Zumba and gave about 75% effort...Only burned 400 calories...instead of my usual 600ish...I had this horrible gas pain all day under my bra line and ribs...ate some bing cherries at break..wonder if that was the culprit.

I really would love to be 195.2ish by Saturday...I was 197.2 on Sunday...I am so hoping to be 25lbs down by the first Wedding of the season for us..its one of those summers! lol.

I am having a fat week...I don't mean in weight..I mean I feel fat..bloated...and yucky...I wonder if TOM is here...I had a hysterectomy in Feb '10 and I still have my ovary's...but I have no idea...if it could be that time of the month.

Today's Stats as of 9:43pm:
2262 Calories burned.
1457 Calories consumed.
805 DEFICIT FOR THE DAY :)

Ugh, hate that time of the month and all the symptoms that come with it. I hope that "gassy" feeling goes away soon.

I love weddings and haven't been to one in such a long time. I love receptions and the dancing!! Having that event ahead of you will help to keep your focus.
 
I haven't had the exact same situation, with a larger friend saying we are the same size, but I do know what you mean!

The bitchy thing to reply would have been "you can have all my clothes when you have lost some weight", but if your anything like me, you wouldn't say that for real.

I get really happy for people too, and cheer them on, I don't understand why someone could be resent a friend for their achievements :(

She sounds like a great mate in general though, it's just a shame she is in denial about you losing weight, but everyone has their faults :/

maybe she doesnt want to see the difference cause she is affraid of something?maybe she thinks you wont love her anymore when u are nice and thin?its really strange that she never comments and thinkks you 2 are the same weight

Cant wait for the new pics in your dress!
