Nasseny's Keep-Ups

Hey Nasseny,
I suffer from depressions ranging from light to severe, depends on when I take my meds..so I totally understand the mood changes and lack of motivation ..when I was sixteen I had the same problem .. I am five inches taller than you ...but I weight one hundred and thirty pounds over weight ..but I am losing .. I lost twenty two pounds so far ..

Hun you can do it and you are! Keep believing in yourself. And as far as exercise ..it sets your endorphins off and lifts depression ..the more you exercise ..the happier you will be ...your skin will be clear if you eat right ..don't know if you have that problem ...

but I believe in you ..
best wishes hun
keep up the awesome work!

always

Hey--

I'm 18, so not much older than you. I know what it was like with the workload in high school -- I was stressed all the time. I was pretty thin in high school, though, because I'd just sit on the computer for hours and forget to eat. And band practice was quite a workout... But I can't imagine working on top of going to school. Is that absolutely necessary for you?

Now I'm about 10 lbs. overweight (I'm 127 as of this weekend and I'm aiming for 115) a year and a summer after high school. So I guess we have similar goals. I'm taking a weight training class at my university and I ride to class, so that helps a lot. You know -- if you're within a couple of miles of your school you may consider riding a bike instead. It's great exercise. Hopefully it's not too hilly where you are -- I'm in Tallahassee which is pretty hilly.

Well, I wish you the best in your weight loss endeavors. You've made great progress so far.
 
My result:

You have 23.8% body fat.

You have 35.9 Pounds of fat and 115.1 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).
 
Hola Nasseney,

How's it going? I know what you mean when you say people around you make you feel you need to lose the weight more than you think you do sometimes. I don't think I'd ever consider myself overweight if people hadn't pointed it out-especially people close to me. Despite the fact that sometimes people say things to hurt you or just because they aren't thinking or because they genuinely care about your health, it's good that we've realized we need to do this for ourselves. Diabetes runs in my family and I don't want to go there because of my weight.

Anyways, good that you've made your goal 110lbs. I definitely think it's more reachable and once you're there you can determine whether or not to lose the extra 10 lbs. I have the same thing in mind. My short-term goal is 120lbs. If I can get there, it would be a miracle, haha.
 
Hiya Nasseny!!! :)

Hey Nasseny,

Just thought I would drop in!

Than excellent .. you have an incredible amount of muscle and water and such ...

Congrats .. better than my score ..lmao

I have a lot of work to do... my final goal is 150 pounds... but I am taller than you and thats why .. I should range they say between 150-160 pounds for my height and possibly 165 pounds for my frame ...but the lowest I would go ..health wise is 150 and the highest because I want to be able to keep hiking and biking is 165.. so somewhere in between there...

Your confidence shows ..

You are just an inspiration .. I love hearing such positive people!

best wishes hun

take care
always

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 20 2007:

I feel like shit, I am so mad right now, I hate my body, ug I feel like dying. So many people around me are pissing me off, and depressing me.

1) My "family" SUCKS, there always fighting, yelling, and just loud, and I hate IT! SO MUCH!

2) I hate that I got my body this way, I feel like a f*cking idoit because I couldn't be smarter.

3) I hate that my hair isn't as beautiful or NO where near as beautiful as the people around me. My hair is shit 24/7.

4) I hate work, F*cking supervisors are pissing me off. GGrrrr and these kids are straining me OUT.

5) I hate that I don't have enough money, each time 2 weeks pass by and i get my stupid cheak, its never enough god damn it. I have so much to pay, and so much to give, and I need to collect.

6) I hate that IIIIII have to deal with this.

7) I hate my alarm clock, I was late for my first class today. FU**. There goes my marks.

8) I hate that I am so impatient. And I don't have the patience for my weight loss.

9) I hate the lack of hope from myself.

10) I hate that no matter how much I try to make things better, they are always harder and everything always ends up worse than the start.

11) I HATE food.

12) I hate that I don't have anyone....face to face....to talk to about how much pain I go through.

13) andd.....I hate that I don't think I'm beautiful....
 
What do you have to pay for at your age?

I really wish I knew what to tell you, I mean, I've been there before. High school was really stressful and my mom was always breathing down my neck about getting things done even though I had it under control. It just made it more stressful. I never felt very beautiful in high school. I just never thought of myself in that way. I thought I was cute -- but in a childish sort of way. And some days my nose was too big. And some days my hips were too wide. It didn't help being an atheist in an area where one of the primary social outlets was a future mega church. Fitting in was hard.

But the thing is... I made it through. I'm in college now. There are still some days where I don't think I'm very pretty, but you really have to make an effort to love yourself and ignore and overcome your insecurities. So just stare in the mirror a little. Compliment yourself. Tell you how much you love you. Smile at yourself. Every day.
 
Awe, Nasseny.... (((hugs)))

I'm sorry you are feeling so down. It will get better. I promise!!!

Hun... do you suffer from "Major Depression"... sounds like it ...
you might want to look into that ...
But I am bipolar, borderline and have sever anxiety ..
if you want to talk about anything ..just pm me or stop into my diary .. I would be happy to talk with you .... :)

I go through times like this too ..even now...even out of school ..its apart of the nature of the depression .. I hit myself with the same insults ...

I use Herbal Essences for a shampoo and conditioner ..sometimes a conditioner is all it takes to make your hair look awesome ...
maybe get a new hair cut .. if you look around you might be able to find a place that just charges ten dollars for a cut ... We have a few places here that offer good hair cuts for ten dollars ..than I drop them a tip of five dollars ... but I mainly go to hair excitement every four months .. I cant afford it ..but fit it in to my budget ...

But seriously need to talk .. I am here... I know what you are going through ..been through it and still go through it sometimes ... I just came out of a depression ..so I am walking more ...

best wishes hun
drop me a note
you can pm me on here

take care
always natalie jo :pumpkin::pumpkin::pumpkin:
 
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 21 2007:

Thanks guys, your amazing. Im so serous when I say that, you guys are great, It's just that I feel so huge sometimes I think that I'll never be slim, (sigh) whatever...anyway. I think I gained 2 lbs weight back. I'm starting fresh tomorrow.

SweatPea: Wow, girl, I love you.

nataliejo: Thanks for your comment, I think I do suffer from some sort of depression, I am not sure what. But like, I deal with it on my own. One because my parents won't belive me, they'll just say,"suck it up". And Two, talking to my doctor is like talking to someone on the other side of a wall, there just wont be a clear understanding. Anyhow. I feel better, but I fear my hate-days just come back like a bomerrang.


I'll try to keep postive, and I am exercising more offen, everyday for 30 minuits or an hour. Ok... I'll learn to breath.

LOL. Sorry guys like you have to read such depressed comments I typed before. Thanks for dealing with me:eek:. Hee hee. Muah. Your Great.
 
Nasseny,

Depression is not something you can just "suck" up. That's the old way of thinking. You should talk to your school counselor if you have no one else to talk to that will listen.

Keeping up with the exercise it will do wonders for the mind and body. And who cares if we are ever "slim" we are beautiful no matter what.

You are and don't let anyone tell you differently!

When you look at classical greek and roman art, you will see that voluptuous women were considered beautiful...not sticks... ;)

I try to think of this as a mind and body change. I don't care to look like a stick figure, I want to look toned and healthy and if I'm a few pounds - even 10 pounds over the "chart" weight, who gives a durn!!!!

Keep your chin up girl..and talk to someone in real life so that you know there are people out there that care for you (just as much as those of us in here care for you!)
 
1:56PM:

^ Thank You SweatPea, you really helped me.
Well, right before I came on the computer, I took a 35 minuit walk around the forest near us, its so beautiful. I love nature, talking walks really helps clear my mind, I think I'll take more walks offen. I usualy just exercise in my room, Oh and I played on the swing, its a workout y'all. lol. I did it by myself, but thats as well great because I can be alone with my mind to sort things out. I feel 99% better, honestly I do, Thanks to all the support. I think that 1 % that Im missing will come by the end of today.

Hey Nasseney,

Glad to see that you are doing much better. There are days when you feel like the world is crashing down on you- I can so relate to the craziness of university and the pay cheques never seeming like they are enough- let alone the family not giving you a break from time to time. Sometimes, the world seems like it's doing everything to just wear you out.

As for depression, might be worth going to see a counsellor. I doubt it is in your case though..I'm assuming it's just stress. Don't let the stress of everday life get to you! Find pleasure in the small things. You have to keep going. Keep pulling through and things will get better. I'm glad to see you are more positive than you were a few days ago. The exercise will definitely help.

Btw, you CAN change things about yourself. Natalie is right when she says perhaps try a different shampoo or conditioner or a new hair cut. The job- look into getting something else perhaps? If you can't change a few aspects of your life try changing other areas you are dissatisfied with. You're starting with the weight- believe me, all of us are going through this weight loss process, motivation does fall short every now and then- which is why we are all here, right? So, don't feel bad, sh*t happens- you can handle it. And we're always here for you if you need some support!
