Hey there girl!!!

I am SO HAPPY to be reading your journal. Reading about your excitement in losing weight and your excitement about Peter just makes my day!!

Let me tell you I can completely understand your excitement about getting the cat calls. I can understand people who get upset about it as well, I suppose, but really it can be an ego booster (in my opinion) to know that someone else thinks you look good! And tell Peter that you also want to be honest with him, and that you telling him that you were just being honest about something that happened that affected you. It's probably tough on him since you haven't met yet, and he might be a little nervous that you might ditch him before you meet.

I love your positivity! You and your sexy self kick butt!!!

Thanks Heather!!
I won't be informing Peter again if I get attention from outside sources lol Since Abba said she would never tell her husband, I think I understand it was not a good move, I was just so damn excited and I wanted to share how I felt with someone ... but thanks hun I am happy you understand. Most peeps seem to not like it. I liked it this time, when I am thinner and its gets to be a lot, I probably won't like it. u know ...

they say its hard being thinner, because you get so much attention from men and have a hard time weeding out the good ones from the bad ones, but I hope Peter and I shall make it. I talked with him this morning and he said he was totally fine .. he can't wait till Friday lol he was so cute and funny on the phone lol ..

Anyway ..ttylater hun
thanks for your words
and yes I do feel sexy! lmao

thanks hun

Hi NJ
I looooove getting glances from male admirers! It just makes me feel very, very good. Mind you, I would not share that with my husband! And I know lots of gals don't need such attention...good for them! As for me, I just smile and feel great inside and keep right on walkin'.

Glad you are feeling happy these days - congratulations on your weight loss! Do be careful when you meet your fella. I hope all goes well for you, my friend.

Cheers
ABBA

Hey Janice!
It made me feel really good to be admired, but maybe the cat calls were not what I should have wanted... the whistles were nice lol

but anyway thanks for your advice .. I wont be telling my bf again about my admirers lol

Thanks for your advice. I have never really known how to act in a real relationship, its tuff. I never had a good relationship ... you know

but it feels good with him and I hope he turns out to be as great as he seems ..and I think he will ...he has been very honest with me ...telling me about his faults ...and sometimes I dont understand why ...but he says he hopes he meets up to all my expectations .. which I am sure he will

Anyway ..
I shall ttylater Janice
and thanks

I have to say, I don't like catcalls. I had an experience yesterday that kind of typifies why--I had a man in a car come up to me while I was waiting for a shuttle and ask me for a bj. Now, I suppose I could have taken THAT as a compliment, but I didn't.

I don't mind when a guy takes the time to come up to me and give me a real compliment in civil tones--I was once lit up for a day because a guy passing in the street said, "Mama, you got some big, beautiful legs." But that was because he then immediately went away, and it was more of a compliment than sexual attention, which I definitely don't want from strangers.

BUT, to each her own, and whatever feels good is worth celebrating!

Sophie

Sophie,
That is awful! I am so sorry that happened to you! I would not enjoy that ..that is one thing I would not like for attention ..

the whistles I enjoyed
I finally get why you girls would not like the cat calls, and they probably aren't such a great thing ... but I am happy peeps do find me attractive anyway ...

Hey Natalie! Having a high self-esteem is definitely essential in a journey toward healthy living! It definitely takes self-love to make a healthy change and not to just "diet". And it sounds like you're definitely there! That's awesome.

Hope you're having a fabulous weekend!

Hey Heather! Hey Everyone!!

I definitely have the self esteem, now I need to walk more again! lol its been so cold and its snowed today! I just didn't feel like walking through the disaster on the roads. u know?
but tomorrow we are having snow around twelve pm, but I am still going. I just can't go with out walking .. u know ...so I am going to try to extend my last walk to thirty minutes... and just keep building everyday ..if I can do the 45 minute walk I will .. I would love to do the 45 minute walk .. I love my walks, but I have not been walking much at all ...but I have only gained one pounds from salt probably, but I need to walk and I love it ....
so tomorrow at twelve pm I am going walking ... no matter what the weather .. I am dedicated to this weight loss and I shall move my butt out that door! lmao

but anyway ... I have been so bored today, I have been online and I hate being online. I have been cleaning, but I never took my walk today, because of the weather, but tomorrow ..as I said I am working on my next two goals ... 275 by May or less ..and 265 by Next October ..and I work down my goal every five pounds on my ticker to make it seem more doable ..

anyway ..ttylater hun

Hey peeps,

Well I weighed 275.2 today. And I thought I had gained weight. I have cut back on my eating, so I think thats why, but I binged last night on cookies. Usually my step dad hides them, but I found them and man did they fill the craving, but I wont need any bad stuff for a while, now that I have filled the craving lmao .. I am now officially ..kind of, sick of sugar cookies ..lmao


Well I am going to try and get out there for a walk, but it looks even ickier than usual out ... and I was up all night...because I couldnt take all of one med last night, but I am feeling pretty good for someone who missed some of this specific med ..kudos for me ...in the morning I finally got sleep ...

so anyway .. I will probably do aerobics inside and clean, been doing lots of cleaning ..all good!

lol

Guys and gals..
I am beginning to love my body. I never thought I would. The cellulite is going away..which I never thought it would so quickly ..with cycling I will really get rid of the cellulite ... I am so happy ...

I am losing weight and went on a cold thirty minute walk today.. so proud of myself ..only four days ago I was walking fifteen minutes ..tomorrow I am walking about forty five minutes to an hour ..the first time I ever walking it ...five years ago ..it was an hour it took me to walk it ..we will see how long it takes, but walking is getting too easy ..

I dont know what to do .. I need to get my heart rate up consistantly .. u know .. I only hope I find a route that will do it ..there is the seven mile walk, but last time I did it ..it was too hard on my feet .. I have to work up to it and it took two hours ..you know

slowly I will work up to it ... new route tomorrow

ttylater girls and guys
btw ..picking up new bathing suit next month.. whoot whoot!

 

[heathercb04]

Hey Natalie! Glad to hear about the positive self-image! And good lord a seven mile walk!?!? You go! I'm totally impressed. Happy to hear that your walks are going well, though. Keep at it, I'm sure you'll be able to find a route and routine that works for you.

Yikes good luck with bathing suit shopping - I'm glad to hear at least someone's excited about it! I'm trying to pretend I won't have to buy one even though I know I do. . . .whooo boy. Maybe you can send some of your swimsuit excitement my way? Haha! Think I'll have to practice some more positive thinking!

Heather lmao I will try to send you some of the excitement **sending good vibes your way** "I hope this works" lmao jk

I am not crazy ..I swear! lol
anyway the reason I am so excited is because I know I will fit into a size 24 bathing suit perfectly .. I might even fit in a 22, but I dont think so ..but I dont mind ..I was busting out of my bathing suits last year and they were a 24 ..so I think that is what I will be wearing ..but I want something modest and pretty ..with a black mini skirt with a slit in the skirt ..it was so cute on me ... but the top was not modest lol it was pretty revealing and I dont want to be that person anymore .. I am getting a tank top bathing suit ... not showing anything except my shoulders back and legs ..

I am looking forward to seeing how the bathing suits fit me now .. I havent been this small for three years! so pysched lol
