So now I am officially two pound ..my mom is such a sabotager ..but I am not going to play into it anymore ..she stomps around all pissed because she is up to 225 and I am losing weight... she should be happy for me .. I am 275.2 ..she should want me to lose weight ... ugh .. this sucks about her ..she doesnt want competition ..its kind of like she is in competition ..when I came back from my forty minute walk ..she did forty minutes on the treadmill ..which usually she only does twenty .. and she was complaining that I was losing weight and she was gaining at the same time ..

There are some people in your life who are not going to like you losing weight for any reason. The sooner you accept that, the easier it is to deal with.

Hang in there and keep doing what is best for you and no one else.

Perfect advice Ali as always. I have encountered the same in my life and even have been afraid to lose weight because it may upset some people. It really hurt my feelings to see people so close to me not wanting the best for me...but I want the best for myself if no one else does.

To a better tomorrow Nataliejo

Thanks Ginger...I have one person in my life who has not said one word to me throughout losing all this weight...I finally decided that it is her problem, not mine. If she can't be happy for me, then too bad. I will be happy enough for myself that I don't need her.

Sometimes all you have is yourself and some days, that has to be enough.

I know Ali,
Thanks for your advice .. I appreciate it.
and Thanks Pink Clouds. I guess I have to finally stand on my own two feet this time. I love this forum. It helps me a lot, but I guess I need to really start doing this on my own, but share with all of you. So tomorrow I am going walking around ten am to ten fifteen am. I am going to eat breakfast at nine thirty am. And just head out after a while afterwards.

Both of you have really touched me
thanks

Hello guys! I see everyone is doing good!
This is for everyone who lost weight! Congrats, sorry if I couldn't mention the name I have to read 2 1/2 pages haha. And to someone who lost her grandmother, I'm so sorry I hope everything is going to be okay for you. And to nataliejo, what your mom is doing is actually funny haha and identical to my mom. She would always tempt me to buy some fastfood when theres no food in the house, but I say no and make me some food instead .

And a little update, I ended up dehydrating myself yesterday while playing basketball and we were playing full court. I played 2 games in a row without water and the last game was with people who are in the navy. They were strong and run around all the time and I have to keep up and I did good myself hehe, BUT! during midway through the game, both my clafs cramped up hahaha I have to stop playing and everyone ran up to me and stretched my legs xD. My dad's friends ended up losing when I stopped playing xD. I just feel proud for mysel keeping up with the navy people while I played 4 games of full court basketball before we played hehe.

I know tomorrow is another day, but I have eaten so much today, that my stomach is making noises u know... thats bad! lol
but tomorrow is a new days ...thus I am going to do something about this

@the stomach making noises. I was bad with ice cream today and my tummy started to hurt.

but I guess I need to really start doing this on my own, but share with all of you. So tomorrow I am going walking around ten am to ten fifteen am. I am going to eat breakfast at nine thirty am. And just head out after a while afterwards.

Yeah I did not mean to come off too strong on the support, I just know how I get when I am down. I think to a certain extent we have all been doing this on our own, yes we're here to support each other, but everyone has their own determination and choices to make. And really you have been an inspiration to me.

Hi KEviiiiii

Must go now...that last bit of ice cream was so cold and my teeth and jaw are hurting lol.

 

[Kevi12]

Nataliejo, why is it bad if your stomach is making noises when your full? LoL I have no idea why.

You know I will tell u a little story Ali, not for encouragement or anything, just sharing my experience. There is a woman at work who has been like in some sort of competition in her mind with me, I am not really a competing type of person, and even if I make a comparison with myself and someone else, I am not trying to be better or worse than that person. Anyways she went to do something with her hair and it turned out bad and they had to cut it off. it was about four inches below her shoulders before, and now it is above her neck in a sort of bob...really cute. One day she saw me and was like "Oh you're hair is getting really long are u putting something on it to make it grow?" I was like "No." My hair is like about six inches above my waist. Everytime she saw me after that she would keep talking about my hair. Eventually she stopped talking to me, started to ignore me or act as if I was not there and then she would talk bad about me to other people. Some others started to join in on her game and it was bothering me...and then I thought...You know what, if these people do not like me and I have not done anything to them, that's their problem. And really I stopped caring and it was so liberating. I have been happy ever since and towards the end of last week she started trying to talk to me again.

So all of that to say this, the greatest liberation I have found thus far is the ability to not let the actions of those who are against me impact me in a negative way. I am happy that she stopped talking to me because if she did not, I never would have been able to see things as I do now.

I do not need them and they do not need me, just like you said.

 

[KunoichiEmi]

Welcome to the Thread of all Threads Emi I like your perspective on giving your body what it wants. Do you know that although it may seem common, that ideology stems from ancient medical wisdom? Really when you change the way you eat, your body can panic and want some of the things it was used to, that is why when we resist the urges we feel an incredible amount of stress...and for people like me it may lead to caving in to a day of binging or indulgence. So you are absolutely correct to give your body small amounts of what it is asking for and also to know your limitations

I am with you on the lose weight for pregnancy thread, since it was your idea you should start it...I am sure it will be a hit and I will definitely be on there



Hey Pink Thanks! I didn't know all that.. wow.. i just figured my mind is evil and it wont stop til i please it, but nice to know for the future Now i can sound smart.. haha!!

Start a thread? oh... i dont think so.. I'm sure someone around here will get that idea and do it, then i can join it!! LOL I'm new here so i'm jst feeling everything out right now. Maybe if one isn't started by my weigh in, i may have the galls to do it hehe.

V told me about this thread and i'm glad she did

Hey everyone!!

 

[KunoichiEmi]

Welcome Emi!! Glad to see another face in here! I hope you enjoy it here, as you probably will and you are right about feeding yourself what you trully want in moderation ...

Hi KEviiiiii

I know what you mean. Determination I need more than ever. Sometimes I guess peeps sabotage, or want you to fail. And I need to ignore them and move on. And thats all I can do. My mother tried to feed me yogurts after supper, I ate like three or four last night, but not again. I need to like tell her only to buy one or two at a time, and not like ten, but she knows I completly hord them down. But guess what.. out of site, out of mind. I am going to put them on the bottom shelf behind everything. I am extremely forgetful, so I won't touch them, unless I remember hmm sounds good..

but thanks hun
Your an inspiration to me. The way you keep trecking...

thanks so much

Hey Kevi,
My mom used to offer junk food up to. lol but I just stay away from it, except for the lovely lattes, but I haven't had one of those for a month. Man could I go for one!! lmao

but anyway ...the reason my tummy is making so much noises, is because I overfilled, it ..it has expanded more and it hurts like hell lol

but I am going to unexpand it lol jk .. I am going to make it smaller once again, by resisting temptation and reaching inside me and bringing forth all the strength I can to not let my mother do what she is doing to me, or let it affect me ..as it does.

[Hope2]

Hey guys!!!

Sorry I haven't been around. It was my half of the week with my kido's, and well I don't have time to go on the net when I have them...We had a great time of course.. It's beach time here, and we've been going the last month and a half already, every weekend. It's so great! We didn't get much of a winter, so the beach only missed us for a couple of months, if that... Went to a family dinner last night with my husbands family (we are seperated still) but he opted out, so that was a little ocward. Made it threw though, and I just made it fun. I was really happy that I made good food choices even though there was tones of goodies there. And it wasn't that hard. I think my body is getting used to the changes...


I brought out an old TAE BO work out, and got my 15 year old to do with with me sat, lol, she quit half way through, I went all the way, and did that work out again today.

I lost another 2 lbs, which I'm really happy about! Some people are giveing me flack because I'm haveing to eat more to loose weight, like I'm makeing an excuse to eat. Cause you know all of us fatties, are just extream over eaters, , but oh well, I do have to eat more then I was, and I am loosing weight so , what ever. It's just kinda anoying...

I tried to go through all the posts that I missed in the last few days but I couldn't get through them all. I noticed several of us lost some poundage, so YIPPIE!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!

I love this board, and all you guys your great. I hope you understand my disaperiance, for half the week, it's just how it is. I can't catch up to everyone individually...

Welcome to the new newbie!

Hope you guys had a great weekend!

Edit to add: I was not going to write this because it's very personal, but it's very important to me. I am at a point in my life, where I am wanting and trying to stear my life in the direction I want it to go in. Not just allow life to toss me around. I am very much taking charge. Me taking charge of my weight loss, is a bigger deal then I thought. It makes me feel very powerfull. This place that I'm at, is effecting all other aspects of my life very rapidly, I'm very suprised, happy, and a bit scared.

Hope2 (thrive)

but anyway congrats on doing the dvd in full twice and losing those extra two pounds!

I wanted to address the PREGNANCY concern someone had a couple pages back that I did get to read. I don't know how to quote on here so I'm just going to paraphrase...

The concern was if you loose a hole bunch of weight, you don't want to get pregnant and get it all back on....

#You know your body has a tendincy to gain weight. So when you are pregnant, you need to be even more aware of this.


Everyone on this board, is now I'm sure very conciouse about how much food is going in , and what kind of food. I'm sure we are all excercising too.


The reason the recomended weight gain for pregnancy is 20-30 lbs, is because that's healthy. That weight gain is baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid, breast inlargement (not bad, lol) milk, etc... After you have any baby, you loose about 20lbs right away. Which is why if that's all you gain your whole pregnancy you look like you were never prego after you have the baby.

DON'T WORRY!!!!


Because everyone here IS concouse about how much and what we are eating. When it's the right time for you to get pregnant, you will not put all the weight back on. Allthough you will be more hungry, you will know, you can eat, snacks of cotage cheese with fruit, and it be hardly any calories etc.. You will allready be used to excersise, which means you can keep on excercising threw the pregnancy. Only those women like me, who were not excercising, can not then start during pregnancy. Since you are conciouse of what you are eating, you will NOT allow your pregnacy to be an excuse to treat your body badly, by eating what ever you want when ever you want, (like me), you are not eating for two ADULTS, LOL...

So no worries...

The only reason I sugested being at least 15O before becomeing prego, is because you will be very uncomfortable for the pregnancy. I had three pregancys in the 200's it was way harder, then my other two in the 100's.

After working soooo hard to get all this weight off, non, NON of us is going to allow anything to take that work away. I know when I get down all this weight, no trama, no emotional destress, no nothing, is going to give me an excuse to ignore my body again.

You all that have not yet had children, are in a super good position. Yes you will be loosing weight and putting some back on during your future pregnancies but, you will be smarter and stronger, haveing droped all that weight off, and you will only gain what is necisary to have a healthy baby.

Now I'm done haveing babies, 5 is my lucky number, lol. For you guys that have a future goal of being a mommy, a thread for that would probably be a great sucsess, as someone else mentioned.

Never pre worry in life.... (we all do it but, we shouldn't)

Thank you for welcoming me!

If any of you got siblings or own kids or friends kids that you can take out, I really really recomend going to the park's! its great fun and good excercise !

Sounds like fun Lilhun88!! I haven't played around like that since last year, when my ex and I decided to play like little kids lol we had a blast in the playground. It was hillarious. At first we were on the swings and than we ended going through the climbing area and my ex went down the slide, he is thin, but not to thin... just right, but he could slide down that slide..

but I am happy you had fun!! Who can't have fun with little ones when it comes to such a great surrounding like a little park!
