I'm here... I took a long break extending my christmas sugar high, and then I was just lazy, and then I was sick for two weeks... but I have been lurking once in a while. I have been maintaining my weight for a while now.
I just felt that I didn't have the energy to lose weight. That is so weird, because I was noticing that in general, I had more energy when I was exercising more and eating better (of course...).
I spoke to my boyfriend about my thoughts to restart my weight loss efforts and he said that I am the most stubborn person he knows (I am kinda stubborn) and that I have been trying to lose weight since I was a teenager, and I am 25 now, so that is ten years of trying to lose weight. This is true, and a big waste of time in my opinion. He said that is exactly what it is, and he knows I am so stubborn I will keep "trying" for another 10 years and it will never be the right "time" or I will always have an excuse, so I should just buckle down and really do it right, and then focus on living my life without the worry and constant attention to my wieght problem, and learn to enjoy eating food in a healthy way.
So I have been thinking a lot about what he had to say. It is true that I probably won't give up on the struggle... and who wants to struggle for another 10 years?? that is something I do NOT WANT TO DO. so I should just do it right and lose the weight. In a way, I have no choice but to really do it right.
The problem is now that I just don't know how anymore! I don't know what to do... weight watchers, south beach, oprah bootcamp... I have done some version of all of these before but never continuously. I definately will restarting working out at the gym but, I would like to get myself off the sugar high but can't cut out a lot of carbs because I am afraid to fail right now.
so. This is what is on my mind!! so hello again, and thanks for the call picklepuss!! advice??? -kristrin
I have heard reports on the news that ANY program/diet/way of eating will work as long as you stick with it and follow it like its meant to be followed.
Hi ;) Thanks picklepuss. I will start to post in the journal section... you are right, it was working the best. I think I can't deal with completely cutting out all carby things right now, I will try to do weight watchers without paying just counting up the points. I think it will help me relearn portions. And normal eating! ha ha. I take care of a little girl and I feed her the healthiest things, but do you think I could do the same for myself?!
I am going to find that freaking wagon and heave myself on if its the last thing I do!! I just absolutely refuse to give up.
Kristrin, I too have been "trying" to lose weight since I was 12!! I have done it several times only to gain it back. Well, I am 53 so talk about stubborn. I don't know if I will ever be successful for life but will probably never give up. Hopefully I will get it right before I am six feet under, LOL.... :-) Stephanie 280/242/223 for now
And yes I am still here, been lurking at times, but doing a lot of running with DD. She is pregnant with my first grandbaby!!
I have done great on my Atkins this week (1st). Havent weighed though. I have a doctors appointment on 3/18. Will weigh in then, thought it would be a good surprise! I can tell that something is going on though, I feel it in my cloths, probably water weight. Family has been very supportive, they were craving pizza last night and DH said no, that I hadnt been on my diet long enough to have that kind of will power, no pizza til I can handle it being in the house!! LOL what a sweetie!
On the grandbaby front!!!! We ordered a doppler online Friday and it should be here today!! We will get to hear the babies heartbeat for the very first time!!!! At DD first doctors appointment peanut was too small to hear. We are so excited. DD is now 14 wks and 3 days! We cant stay away from Babies R Us, Lord help us when we find out what it is going to be. LOL
Thanks for the push to post, just been really busy!
I've been pretty busy lately. I've been going over my mom's house a lot. I wish I was over there yesterday afternoon though. I have an idiot cousin who stopped by and got my mom all upset over some stupid crap. Yeah, that's just what my mom needs after having a stroke last week! I'll be calling that butthead tonight...
I'm here Shawna!!! I would never leave this group. All is well with me. Still trying to buy a house so that has taken up most of my time. But other then that, I have stuck to my diet/exercise. YOu can read about it in the celebration section. How are you? Hope all is well.
