Moabnuts diary

First time ive seen your diary here.
Keep up the good work, Have you thought about having a chat to your partner and requesting she makes a few changes in the every day diet to help support you ?

A couple of times ive had to give my other half a complete bollocking because of stuff he brings home or eats in front of me. Now 3 months down the track hes really into it and often tells me off for trying to get take aways!
 
I like how honest you are in your diary. Makes me feel better about my bad days. haha You've been doing great so far, you'll get passed these bad days and get back on track! Way to go on the 60 lb loss! Whoo hoo!
 
Moabnut, you have done such a fantastic job. We all slip up. We are human after all. Some days the train just passes us by. Then we get back on track. You've done such a great job. Keep working at it. I know you can do it.
 
loosing weight isnt about the one day you screw up - its about the other 5 or more than you ate right.
 
Wow, so much activity since I last posted. Thanks for all the support and everything. Im not doing so good of course, otherwise Id be posting all the time. Im currently working at a hospital that I think will be my #1 choice for residency, so Im brown nosing and everything, eating with everyone during lunch (we eat well) So everyone can get to know me well. Normally I pretty much have to isolate myself when Im dieting. I just cant do that here. So Ive pretty much just let things slide. I could do way better than I am though. Im just using it as an excuse and I know it. I could eat half of what I do and diet at home, but I dont. Im still trying though, but Im sliding in the wrong direction according to the scales. Ill be done there in about 2 weeks...of course there will be just another place and another excuse. I need a good kick in the butt! Thanks for all your support though!
 
woah - you are telling us what you are doing wrong, how you could/should fix it, but then not sorting it out? come on mate, don't keep sliding and giving up, re-read your diary and remember the reasons you started. we need good, healthy fit doctors to kick OUR butts and set a good example (like you said you wanted to do). you know from previous experience that those pounds will zoom up again if you don't wring their necks - stop slacking and start at least maintaining! don't just give up - surely you are worth more than that.

/end butt kick :D
 
OK, Im trying to get back on the wagon, yet again. My rotation is done where I had lunch all the time so the temptation is gone at least for the meantime. Ive been somewhat good for the last 3 days. I went to my sisters house yesterday though and she had homemade breadsticks and pizza....and brownies....and ice cream. OK, I didnt do too good yesterday, but today is another day to do well. I gained a few more pounds though since I posted last. I hope to shed those soon. I have a long haul to get back to where I was at the beginning of the summer. I had a real good summer though (other than the weight) but its over and so are the vacations. Im kinda sad about that, but excited to get healthy again. I outgrew a few of my new clothes I bought after I lost all that weight which is a huge motivator to do well. When all your clothes are loose fitting, you dont notice if you gain much, but when their tight, you notice real fast. :cool:
 
So I haven't done well at all since spring. Im tired of gaining. I had an excel chart of my progress when I was losing and Ive kept updating it even as I gained. It looks like a big V. The trailing edge is doesnt slope as fast, but I still have almost gained as fast as I lost before. Im up to 257 now. Ive been around 260 for a while. It sucks that last spring I was 198. I bought a bunch of new clothes, and now I cant fit into anything. I keep going back on my diet, and Ill do good for a few days and then crash. I will gain some more, then try again and crash and gain even more... very frustrating. I go on a kayaking trip every year and Im too fat right now to fit in my kayak. Spring is coming and Im starting to panic. That and I graduate from med school in May and I will see all my friends that I haven't seen in 2 years since weve all been on rotations. I want to be in good shape. I lived with a bunch of them during rotations last year in Michigan where I got down to about 210. They were all proud of me and I dont want them to see that I failed as bad as I have. Anyway, so Im writing to help me get motivated again. Hopefully it helps.
 
Today I went to work and forgot my diet food, then to make matters worse a drug rep came with food and pastries...but I prevailed. I did have a salad with a very small dollop of dressing. Im feeling pretty good. Im on day 3. I have been hungry but its been manageable.
 
Hi

moabnut, Glad to have you back. I won't be around much for the next couple of weeks. I have been working night & day for about 2 weeks already. Hopefuly I'll be done in two weeks. Remember to take your food to work tomorrow.

Thanks Chip, its good to be back. Ive always been here really...in spirit...lol. Actually, Ive checked up on the site every couple weeks or so to see how everyones been doing. Its amazing how much I can have it in my face, but still do nothing about it.

I did take my food today. My mother in law brought over some cookies today that I turned down too. Big frosted sugar cookies.

Im down to 254. Im used to seeing my weight drop off a bit faster when I first start (Ive done it enough times to know) But I think its because Im allowing myself a few extra freedoms that I haven't before. Like little bites of my wifes food. I dunno...Im losing so that makes me happy enough.
So far so good....
 
Today is probably not a good day to post because Im not doing very good today, but I was planning on eating treats today. I just got back from PA where I had to take a stupid test. I went there a couple days early so I could chill in my hotel room and study. I did well, but I ate some the night before because I didnt want to be hungry during the test. I also Ate the day of the test....then that night. I didnt go nuts, but I didnt try to eat too well either. So basically the last few days have been crappy. I start back up again tomorrow.
 
So Im still ticking away. I havent really lost much, but Ive been somewhat motivated. Everyday I get up and prepare my food and insist that I will stick with it, but by the end of the day I end up eating something I shouldnt. Sometimes its not too bad, other times I eat way too much. All in all its been pretty much a wash. I have lost a little, but only a few lbs. I feel like I need to start working out, but I dont want to do too much at one time. Ill start soon though.
 
moabnut, Just keep trying, you'll get in diet mode. I keep trying myself. At least I keep staying around 240. I've never been so busy in my life right now. So I don't have the time to be on here. I'm working 16 hours a day right now. Hopefully I will be back down to 8-12 hours in another month. Keep it up, it'll happen.

Chip
 
Thanks troutman. Im still going at it. Slowly but surely. My diet is light, but without exercise I havent been moving much weight....but a little. Still the same story. Eat well all day but end up eating too much for dinner. But Im still trying. Thanks for the support
 
This last week I really stepped up and put it in gear. I didnt have any "official" workouts, but was much more active. Lost a bit more weight. Last night and some of today I ended up eating too much but I dont feel as though I slipped, I just had some social activities that as usual involve calories of some sort. I was turning down all sorts of good foods this last week. For example a rep brought olive garden food. I just had a salad, no dressing. I didnt touch the bad stuff at all. I was pretty proud of myself. I know I need to start working out but I dont want to push it too much because Ive been dieting so well I wouldnt want to over do it. :cool:
