Ahhh I see it now. I was a bit worried to be honest that you were only eating 500 calories a day xD. Good job. And I HATED Dragon Ball Z because of that. And I couldn't fast forward either because I'd miss some important things and I'd be all like >_> wut.
 
AI almost went to McDonalds today :(! But I turned around, and I went to Mr. Sub instead. I'm so glad for that!

Microwave cheese roll thing for 200
Ice cap for 150
Half a pizza sub for 200
Dill pickle chips for 200
2x mini pizza for 360
Bread chips for 90

Day 29 - Your definition of beauty.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Really, it's all about how you hold yourself. I see overweight men and women (more specifically women) who know how to rock their look. They have confidence and they look beautiful. I could never do that, I don't have any charisma skills and I don't really know how to put on make-up. Confidence is a beautiful thing.

It really boils down to what's on the inside, too. If you're a wonderful person on the inside, it'll shine, and it seriously can make a world of difference. Even "pretty skinny" people are ugly when all they do is scowl and act like a bitch.
 
Hey Loch :)


I don't know if I congratulated you on your 1lb loss on the 15th, but in case I didn't, Congrats! :hurray:


Your chart is looking very green! :biggrin: Awesome!
 
AThanks Frogged :). I actually hit 222 today, which was a nice surprise. I hope it stays that way until Saturday!
 
Good job Loch! You're inching so much closer to 200. You can make it :)

I totally agree. When I was in High School there were these girls that were obviously overweight, but they were beautiful, both as a person and the way they "rocked their look". Unfortunately I could never rock my pudgy look so I stayed with the usual sweats. xD
 
A:hurray: CONGRATS on the triple twos!!! Good job!! :hurray:

I agree...being beautiful and being skinny are not the same thing....there are some right out ugly skinny people....and there are some ridiculously beautiful heavy people...but the key to it all is confidence.....if you have that ...its all people see. I think that is what we are all really trying to get back..or get new...is our confidence....and we will...I know it.
 
AThanks ^^ I'm so close to my goal!

Today I had
Booster juice for 400
Wendy's for 1300

Day 30 - 10 facts about you! And now, what are your stats?

Um...

1. I like to watch television shows, including: House, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Castle, Dexter, True Blood.
2. I've been making digital graphics and fiddling with HTML for the last 10 years for fun.
3. I enjoy writing on forums, one of them is a Dragon Ball Z site where we make stories and post back and forth. I've been doing it for the last 10 years.
4. I once worked in a pet store for a year, it was the first job I got fired from. The firing was probably due to drama, it's a long story.
5. I learned to play the piano for 3 years, before starting High School and dropping out of it.
6. I own 3 rabbits, 2 cats, and a plecostomus (which is a fish).
7. I have a massive crush on Robert Downey Jr.
8. I have my nose and tongue pierced.
9. My dad died when I was 13.
10. I like to sing when I'm depressed, it helps.

I'll post my stats in the next post :).

Although Curves has me down for 230lb start, and 223lb at the end, I'm using my own stuff as well.

It's a good loss...but I still feel that I could have done better. Then again, I had a few cheat days, so I suppose I did pretty good ^^.
 
AThanks ^_^ you guys are so supportive. I'm kind of sad I have no more questions to answer!

I've had a bad day food wise, I ate a whole pizza to myself. Bah...Tomorrow is a new day.
 
ADon't worry about that pizza loch, I had a really bad food Day yesterday as well. I felt like the cookie monster, and every food that I saw laying around was like a cookie to me, I just couldn't stop eating.
 
AYeah...still been eating bad, I've been eating like crazy. Yesterday was better, I think I ate 1300, but the day before was probably 3000. I'm frustrated, my stomach has been hurting, and I just want to give up...but I'm hanging on by a thread.

I knew this would happen once that challenge was over.

Oh well, nothing to do but to kick myself in the ass and keep trying.
 
AI am in the same place you are right now Loch, I had bad eating days, don't feel like working out at all, and all I want to do is quit and bury myself in a big chunk of Ice cream or whatever.

But we can't quit now loch, not after all we have been through. this time will be different, we just have to push through this bad time. If you don't feel like working out than just try to eat healthy, that is what I am trying to do, just trying to get back into the working out state of mind.
 
Don't you dare give up, Loch.


Just think for a minute about how much better and enjoyable your life will be a year from now if you continue. What would giving up do for you anyway? Nothing. It would only add depression and discourage you from trying to start a healthy lifestyle again in the future. It's just so not worth it.


I can't count how many times I wanted to just say 'F IT!', or wanted to just eat and eat, or didn't feel like exercising, but you have to dig deep during those moments. Thankfully, they occur less and less as times goes on. The difference between those that are successful from those that fail are moments like this. Moments when it would just feel easier to just stop and go back to a 'eh, whatever' attitude about food and life. Those that are successful have never done that.


Process the frustration and anger you feel. Accept it, learn from it, move on. This journey is full of good and bad lessons and, as long as you realize that there's something to be learned from each one, you'll actually find that they become invaluable tools in preventing you from falling back into old habits after you reach your goal.


You got this, Loch :) Discover the strength you have within yourself and always feel free to vent to us whenever you're feeling this way. Believe me when I say a LOT of us know exactly how you're feeling!
 
Don't worry Loch! You'll get back on track.


Oddly, a lot of us had a huge fail this weekend. I guess it's in the air or something o_O.
 
AIt must be the change in the season. I noticed that a lot of us have been eating bad too. Thank you so much, guys. I know I've been doing well, I just...felt so blah. Lonely, too.

I'm just gonna afk now and drool over Frogged's pic now xD

But really, last two days I've been okay. Today I'm at 930 so far, so I should hit my goal by the end of the night. You know, eating that bad stuff actually made my stomach hurt, acid reflux I think.

I may not hit my goal of 219 this month, but, I'll at LEAST be at 222. That's better than the 230 I was.

I hope you all do well, as well. I'll stop by journals once I have a chance :). Thank you, again.
