Well, I had an entire weekend of engorgement on all my taboo favorites. Taco Bell taco supremes, Fish and Chips, Hot Wings, KFC, Wendy's Baconator, and too many foo foo alcohol drinks to remember....it makes me feel bloated just reading that! I officially resigned myself this weekend to the fact that I am fat! Not just, "a few pounds overweight", but FAT! I went into a store this weekend that, in the past I had the pick of whatever color I wanted and now....well lets just say that the woman waiting on me, sweetly suggested that they offer larger sizes online, but not at the store. Apparently, the store assumes fat people don't like to shop in public. Ok, maybe I am a bit embarrassed, or even angry at myself for having got this bad...but it still hurts.
So, today is my first day in the twelve week journey that will become my new transformation.

ok so i know my cravings have really changed just the description of that makes me sick to my stomach...ugh! lol good for you on making a change. that is when it really happens. i've said a million times that i am going on a diet and i do and i quit a week or two later. it wasn't until i truly decided i was sick and tired of being unhappy that i finally really did something about it. the first thing i did was quit hating myself and quit beating myself up. then i accepted i deserved to be happy and healthy and the rest was a piece of cake. after 13 weeks i was down 48lbs and my "mental fat and garbage was gone". i was healthier and happier. i have to say i know this is true because i had set a goal to lose 50lbs in 12 weeks which is a really hard goal to reach. well i didn't make it...at my 12 week point i had lost 46lbs. to be honest in my old frame of mind i would have cried and beat myself up for failing to meet my goal. i would not have even noticed or cared that i had lost the 46lbs only that i had failed yet again! when that point came i will admit i was a little disappointed for about a half a second, then i was like "hey you lost 46lbs in 12 weeks that is amazing!!" this wednesday i go in for my 14 week weigh in and maybe i will hit the 50lbs this week as i am only 2lbs away and maybe it won't happen, but what will happen is i will still be proud of myself, i will still know that i deserve to be just as happy and healthy as everyone else and i know that i have been true to myself in all aspects of my physical and emotional transformation and for that i will still be proud and will continue to stay on track no matter what!! i wish you the same and i know you can do it!! keep your head up and know you can and will do it. |

mw5373 has basically given you all the motivation you need my friend, she has put it all together in one paragraph, its hard and noone is saying that it isnt but on this site youre not a fat person or a thin person youre a human being, a friend, and we're all here to help each other out as much as possible. give yourself realistic targets over a period of time, say you want to lose 2 pounds in a week, and then 4 the next 2 weeks, and then 6 the next 3, by giving yourself realistic targets you can give yourself a pat on the back when you achieve them, if you gove yourself unrealistic targets you will find it harder to reach them and beat yourself up about it and feel more depressed.
if you have questions to ask just post them on this website and there will always be a response, they may or may not help but i have found it very helpful here.
please keep up with this mate and dont quit, its a hard journey but it the end its vey much worth it. keep it up
