Hello my name is Mary and i have been on and off this forum NUMEROUS times...im sick of giving up (hence the title). I am good for about 2 weeks TOPS and then i give up. Well now this is the last straw...i keep getting sick, im eating junk foods, im drinking alcohol too much, and im constantly dehydrated and every night pretty much i binge. I feel horrible and i need to make some changes. I believe i have some symptoms of an eating disorder because i am very quick to skip meals and sometimes i am so fed up with binging and gaining weight that i attempt to just eat next to nothing....I THINK ABOUT FOOD CONSTANTLY! and i often binge because it is my release from counting calories and obsessing.

I work out but only around 30 minutes every couple of days and its moderate intensity. I lost all of my motivation...however...i hardly sit down all day so i guess that is helping. So here are my stats...

My lowest weight was in 2004 and it was 125....i am 5"4' and when i was 125 i was completely comfortable in my body...no complaints whatsoever.

My weight went up to 133 in 2006 and now i am currently at 138 lbs and i feel horrible.

Im not treating my body right...all of my friends often go out on the weekends to a bar and i love going but i often feel like i always need to have a beer in my hand while im there....so the calories add up. I also know that i am not eating ENOUGH...this is my meals for today....

Breakfast: 2 Whole Grain Waffles with Sugar Free Syrup
Lunch: 1/2 of a Peanut butter and banana sandwich on Whole Wheat
Snack: a glass of milk and some pretzels (around 12 or so)
Dinner:A lean cuisine panini and some broccoli with salad dressing
Snack: some ice cream (2 scoops)


any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
 
Welcome to the forum. If you're truly committed to changing your lifestyle then you've come to the right place. I'd suggest getting together a healthy food plan, one filled with whole, natural foods.
 
thanks stingo!!!!

okay so right now im exhausted from being in the sun all day. I feel dehydrated and very out of it...my bed looks amazing right about now. Today i ate...
Breakfast: 2 whole grain waffles w/ syrup and coffee
Lunch: 1/2 peanut butter and banana sandwich and some pretzel and a cup or so of milk
Dinner: probably something like chicken and veggies

Probably going out for 1 or 2 beers tonight....can someone tell me what i need to add/take out of my meals...i know im not eating enough...right?

tonight im gonna take a class at my gym that uses jump ropes..i heard its a great workout. I may work out before hand as well....

I feel like i dont eat enough to not lose weight...if that makes sense...i just dont understand why i am always at 138 no matter how hard i try...ugh. :(
 
Don't beat yourself up because you didn't lose any weight in a day or two. Look around the forum, particularly in the nutrition area, and put together a diet that will help you reach your goals.

Also, you may want to consider adding in some weight training.
 
Ditto to the weight training suggestion.

Along with being an important part of weight loss (it was the foundation of my weight loss of 35 pounds) it also makes you feel good, well, it makes me feel good anyway. After you stop getting sore from the first few workouts you start seeing some improvement, you'll want to go to the gym for your workouts. Don't overtrain though.
 
Make a small post in the Chillout log thread.

thank you so much everyone!!!! i havent posted in a few days because i had to go back to PA to do some teaching....but i did not give up on my diet....my main focus is to eat ...i guess they call them...clean foods? like fruits, veggies, dairy, lean meat...ami right? i no longer want to sit in front of the tv with a box of cheez its....calories add up REAL fast. also im a HUGE ice cream junky....are there any substitutions for this...once i ate frozen ff whipped topping and it tasted so much like ice cream...is that good?

so i bought a jump rope for 3 dollars and let me tell u...the best workout ever and its fun,,,it reminds me of when i was a little girl...i instantly start sweating and my heart rate increases. I love it and its CHEAP! tonight i have a wedding reception to go to and i want to be really careful about what im eating...i ordered chicken parm like weeks ago when they wanted to see what people were eating and now i think i should have ordered the salmon but i cant change it...i guess ill just pick at it and maybe attempt at removing the outer skin with the breading...who knows....

also i wanted to thank everyone for giving me tips...i really appreciate them...tomorrow is my weigh in and i hope i am down 1 lb. thanks for all the links and the motivation evolution :)
