Shell's diary

Not doing so good today. Yesterday I was so pumped and felt great...Then my mom called. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom very much but I think she wants to keep me overweight. I was talking to her about it last night and I told her that my goal weight is 120 and her comment was "That's too skinny" :eek: I was so pissed off. She is heavier herself, I mean not by much but she is 5'4'' and about 165 lbs. I don't want to be this size for the rest of my life I am 149 and unhappy, I mean most girls my age are not my size. It just makes me so mad, 120 is not super skinny, it's healthier than I am now. And, it looks better on me. Before I started working after I had my daughter I weighed 120 and I loved my body even with the stretch marks, I was comfortable with the way I looked. :( She is making me mad. I don't know what to do. I was doing so well and then I talked to her and ate the house down. Whish made it worse becuase I have been working so hard for the past 4 weeks and have lost weight. grrrrrrrrr
 
dont let it get you down, you loose the weight and get to where your comfortable not where someone else thinks you should be :) .i know what its like when familly members make comments that they should keep to them self(my sis)it can totally derail what your trying to accomplish.just look at today as a minor set back and get back on track . :) hope your feeling better today.
 
I hope you are able to bounce back from that too... My whole family is a bit overweight, and it is so hard to be succeeding and really accomplishing what I want to around them. They constantly try to get me to eat fattier foods, and while they have been complimenting me on how I look, they just don't understand what I have had to do to get here... Keep up the amazing work that you are doing. This isn't for them.. it's for you - and you are going to look and most importantly FEEL fabulous!!!
 
i just came here to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! hope you come back to post soon. :D
 
Thank you both for the happy birthday, it was good. I had a lot of fun, ate way too many calories but it was fun! I have been doing good, lost another pound, so I am at 148. I am very excited about that. I think that I am actually doing pretty well with not paying so much attention to how much I am eating and being obsessive, becasue I was. Now I just now that I want to be healthy not so much "skinny". And, I am losing weight so something is woprking but I will definitely let you all know how it is going. :D
 
well it was your bday after all might as well enjoy it lol good for you 148 is great keep up the good work :)
 
Happy B'Day, I'm glad you had a good one! :D

Grats on the pound, kinda nice when you can splurge and still lose weight.
 
I'm doing really well, thank you for asking. I have been getting out of the house a lot more and set up walking with 2 other of my neighbors twice a week. If we walk the length of our road it's about 3.5 miles. So I thought that twice a week would be great to get a change up in my work out! I am down to 146-7 depending, but I am able to fit into more of my clothing and it feels great! I am feeling a lot better as well. I went out for my mom's birthday with her and I dolled myself up and looked cute (if I must say so myself :p ), I bought a new top and new shoes. Everyone kept telling me how nice I looked and they kept telling me that guys were looking my way and I was like "yay, I still have it!". LOL Then my mom said my hubby better be good to me cause if I want to get another man it wouldn't be hard. I thought that was cute. He has been a turkey lately, we are up and down and I hate it. OH, we also have a new puppy...she's a mutt but her dominant breeds are rottie and pit bull. She is so cute and friendly! Have to get going but will stop in again very soon. You guys are a great support! :D
 
It sounds like you are doing wonderful. Congratulations on your new sexy look. Hubbys are funny when it comes to weight loss, they seem to become a bit insecure and get a bit (how can I say it) weird lol. Try telling him how much you love his support, how you are feeling healthier ECT. We have been talking about this very thing at ww and the girls say if you keep feeding the boys ego they seem to be dealing with it better. It’s wonderful to see that you are doing so well, again congratulations.
 
Had a long vacation from here and I am ready to come back. I am down to 145, leaving me about 25 more to go. I am starting to fit back into some of my pre-prego clothes. I also broke down and bought some in bigger sizes to fit me now. I am not wearing maternity pants in the summer :eek: . A lot has happened in the past month and a half, some good some bad. My husband totaled his truck (flipped actually) and came out with a bruised chest and that's all. He was VERY lucky. My daughter is doing great, she is learning a lot and can write her name now with the help of dots :p . My son , now 10 months, is walking and climbing all over the place. He is a master at the stairs and will try and race you up them. But all is good. My husband is helping me with the weight loss and bought me a dance game for the X-Box that you use the dance mat for. It's pretty neat and it has a work out mode. My daughter likes it too. Enough for now. Hope everyone is doing great, can't wait to start responding to journals again. :)
 
Well tha past 2 days haven't been too terrible bad but they could have been better food wise. Last night my son has started to come down with a temp, so I didn't get much sleep. I also did the dance revolution game with my hubby last night and he liked it! It was really fun. Easy work out that's for sure and my legs are sore today from it.
Today food hasn't been to bad:

B:
cereal w/ milk 2%
energy drink

L:
Salad w/ egg and cheese, light italian dressing
cheese stick (string)

D:
Slow cooked meat balls on roll with swiss
salad/Light ceaser dressing
a spoon of pasta salad

Not too bad. My hubby and I plan on playing the dance game again tonight. :p
Well we didn't get to play becuase he didn't get home from work until 10pm and had to get off to bed so he could go in again today. Can't wait until this car is paid off so he won't have to work as much. :(

Not too bad today. I am getting kinda bloated or putting on weight. Both aren't good either way. Next month I am to start the pill and I am kinda scared that it will affect my weight loss. My best friend takes it and says it doesn't mess with her weight at all, I hope it's the same for me. I will take the increase in chest size though. ;)

Hey shell its good to see you; hubby was lucky im glad has ok. The dance game sounds like a lot of fun I think I would enjoy something like that myself. Wow kids grow up fast don’t they its quiet frightening. It sounds like you are doing great keep up the wonderful work.

Long week, I started baby sitting the neighbors son. Oh well. Gained a little and went down a little. Still am about 147 from water weight I think from eating junk food. I am doing better though.

Not too terribly bad. I think I should have chosen a better lunch, try again tomorrow. :)
