don't get mad at your food choices for the day hun!

1500 calories is actually not high. many people cut down from 2000-2500 calories a day and you shouldn't do any less than 1200-1500 to not hurt your body in the process.

exercise is tough boy do I know that. but try to start fresh tomorrow and keep it up. if you miss one day don't blame yourself just aim for a good exercise plan the next day. 3-4 times a week is still pretty nice. if you manage to do so for at least 21 days your body will demand it afterwards because it becomes a habit. the first month or so is the toughest but you are doing great.

also I know chinese is so delicious but unfortunately most meals are high in fat. what I do is I buy bags of the usual veggies in chinese food and steam them. then I add lean meat like chicken breast and some spices. it is a great way to have a taste of chinese without the grease! also try steamed rice over fried rice. with the right spices and veggies it will be even more delicious. it is all about making healthy decisions but not depriving yourself from what you love.
I am here for you, xoxo!
 
Don't beat yourself up! That's not even a horrible day! You still are in the deficit and you are still burning more calories than you are eating!

Keep your head up! :) You'll get there!
 
gosh thanks kimmy and amiba... i really should stop beating myself up... but i've realised something... the days i have more exercise, i'm much happier, i don;t know if it's psychological or whether it's actually some hormone-secretion thing. like today :)

i'd finally started detoxing- so it was fruits, fruits and more fruits :) but by the end of it... i read thru the plan again, and it promises headaches, and thats not something i want to deal with, what with college driving me mad!! so i had a niiice dinner... ate a lot... becuase i had to fulfil the day's calorie reqmts dint i? ;)

diet
dinner: 3 rotis + dal + veggies + corn puffs(guessing around 550 calories?)
TOTAL: possible 700

exercise
morning: 500 skipping
evening: 1hr 10mins aerobics + weights for arms + exercises for lower abs and back

i need some help with food options, my weight isn't budging :(

I think it is because Indian food is so rich it is usually hard to lose some weight.
I love it but when I've had it I've felt heavy afterwards. maybe trying different cuisines to keep your stomach guessing? variety?
the exercising part is great! I also feel better when I exercise. keep it up hun!

hey sweets!
it is great that you enjoy exercise!

the thing about resisting food is simple. I noticed you don't have a lot of veggies or fruits in your diet? those are great at keeping you full longer and giving you the extra fiber. I have a sweet tooth so it helps me to not over eat. xoxo!
 
okayy so i followed amiba's advice and tried to stuff in some fruits... not bad then :)

diet
breakfast: 1 slice multigrain bread + 1 poached egg (140 calories)
lunch: 2 rotis + 1 chicken tikka + 1 pc mutton + some spinach + dal (350 calories)
evening: 1 bowl watermelon (80 calories)
dinner: nachos +salsa + cheese + 1 cup dal (im guessing 300 calories?)
TOTAL: 870 calories

exercise
evening: 500 skipping
 
well... somethings happened yday that i feel i should write about. yesterday, i told my 'best friend' of 7yrs that i'm trying to lose some weight. she lives in a different city and we meet once a year. she told me,"noooooooo... dont get all thin and hot. it was so weird last time we met, because you had lost so much weight. remain fat always. its bad enough having to deal with your straight hair, let your ugly hair grow back" and i was like!! whoa... i mumbled something then and hung up.

it was soooooo hurting, and its been going on forever, but i never said anything because sometimes she genuinely seems to love me. ever since we were kids, she has NEVER forgotten to mention that SHE is beautiful(?!?!?!) while i am the fat nerd who never had a boyfriend, while she went out with all the hottest guys in school. ugh.

this has given me an extra kick to DO it... i WILL lose it. im not going to live my life on any one else's terms. ugh. why does she do it?

sorry. venting over :D
 
That's a pretty awful thing for someone to say, for sure.

As for why, well it is not uncommon for people to keep a "less attractive" friend around, just so they can look better by comparison and feel better about themselves. Actually, such people have low self-esteem and can only feel good about themselves by putting others down (or keeping them down, by sabotaging their efforts, like what seems to be your case).

Don't let people like that discourage you. Real friends would support your efforts to improve your health and happiness.

I say, take that and use it as extra fuel to reach your goal. Don't listen to people who want to sabotage you.

I wouldn't rub it in their face afterwards (no matter how tempting) because we're above that, right? :)
 
Oh god! I so know what you're talking about!

one of my best friends and me have always been fat, granted in the beginning she was way fatter than me, then she lost some weight and became thin, while i put on more weight, and now she's put on all the weight back (and then some) again and i've lost some, and she's all 'Oh so you've become thin now??!' in this really condescending tone!
 
people are haters for sure

dont let it get you down, and when you are at your best shove it in their damn face. simple.

ugh, gets me all riled up..I need to go do some weights now haha

why does she do it?.. I bet it is because she has to be the ''hot'' one? it is saddening but many people have to ''stand out'' in any form of relationship. she has low self esteem simple as that. it is like people who make fun of others just to feel better, insecurity.
it is also creepy that she says it, but you shouldn't pay attention. this is your process and you are doing it for you, not for anyone else.
also if she doesn't respect this, she isn't doing a very good job as a friend.
xoxo hun!
 
whoa... thanks a lot for your responses! i'm really glad i joined this forum *sniffle* i've been dealing with this for too long now, and i think it's about time i put my foot down and refuse to be treated like a 'doormat'(she said that too :() anymore.

diet
breakfast: 1 slice multigrain bread + poached egg (140 calories)
mid morning: milk bikis- totally delicious and supposedly nutritious biscuits (200 calories)

hey hunny don't be disappointed!
even if you don't think you did too well you are still spot on when it comes to calories. remember our bodies are smart and the caloric deficit is still working! taking a day off from exercise isn't bad either. you can always start again tomorrow.

I know it does get frustrating but remember we are taking the long, healthy road, this is not a quick fix diet. it will take time for the body to adjust and even if it is 300 grams or a pound a month, that is one pound less!
and you are losing a bit of weight and a bit of size, which is amazing, many people don't do both.

stay motivated by trying to forget about your weight. I hid my scale because it was messing with my head seeing I wasn't dropping any weight. the surprise will be greater when clothes start to get lose and you feel better! think of it like a health journey, the lifestyle you should be having by eating well and exercising regularly.

every day you commit to it is a battle you won. we will all have bad days but that doesn't change the course of our new lifestyles.
and don't forget I am here for you!
