Not feeling so good about some weight i've gain over the past few months.... It's to the point now where i have to buy new clothes..... eeeeeek and I've been wearing the same clothes for years. It's also to the point where pictures come back and i'm stunned at my stomach bulging out there.....
I know I'm being hard on myself but it didn't help when my mother said "i've noticed your getting porky." PORKY?! I told her... 10-15 pounds... and you're calling me porky. She said, well you were always so skinny..... Funny how one small comment from my mother and i'm paranoid now....
I know that i've been slowly gaining weight since last summer.... and I was enjoying the fuller curves...but for my mother to call me porky? :-(
I guess it's all those lunches i've been eating lately, right. lol.
Anyhow, needed to vent....

I'm so glad this is working for you!
Thanks for the info-
it sounds to me that you have to be really self accountable, too. Perhaps
That was my problem with WW--I didn't go to meetings--I only did it online so I was the only one who noticed my scale creeping back up!

Just an FYI, muscle weighs 3x as much as fat. You can be burning fat and getting far more toned, yet see an increase on the scale. Obviously this is if you weren't that big to begin with.
I'm starting to work out now, since I can't keep my figure doing nothing, which worked fairly well into the late 20s. I used to run and lift weights, but then forgot to after children. Now though, I have to start paying attention to what I eat and work out regularly. I recommend that people look up the fitness resources on this site to get some ideas. Get moving and you will feel so much better
Hey! Great Job!!!!!!!!!!
& yeah, for all those girls out there gaining FIFTEEN pounds ... Nvmel, if youre like me, i can do 15# in a WEEK, & not even NOTICE it! lol
I gained 65# in my marriage ... in the year & 1/2 after i left him, i lost 48#. Guess what, NOW, the past year 1/2, i gained BACK 40# of it! Errr! AND i threw out ALL my fat clothes way back then ... so i am screwed.
I just joined "The Biggest Loser" at the Y. If i did it b4, i wll do it again! Good luck to you! Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Nina is 7, so I can just make sure I don't buy anything that encourages her to pig out on junk food at home, but Alex is 14 and she just eats that stuff at school or when she is out with friends. And you are soooo right! I don't want to ever give Alex a bad image or make her think she is getting puggy (?), but it's a fine line of wanting to be sure the kids do eat right and maintaining a healthy balance without suddenly creating a bad image during some very important years of her life. I just keep thinking that spring and summer are around the corner and she'll be much more active then when she goes back to swimming and track.
As girls approach the 'tween years (around 8, 9 yo), their metabolism shifts and they naturally tend to gain weight.
I wish my DD had that problem!

People always get a kick out of that with my kids!
