Re: [Weight Loss Buddies]Ang

[Guest guest]

Ang,

I feel the same. Everybody keeps saying I look so great and it's like

you are full of you know what! I look in the mirror and think how can

they say that? I still have this big belly, floppy arms, rolls in my

back. Give me a break! I know I look a heck of a lot better but great?

No way! Long looong way to go! Mike has always been so sweet. I think

he is blind but sweet. He never thought I looked bad. It has never

waned his love for me. I have actually really grilled the poor guy

about it. How can you even stand to look at me, none the less touch me

when I was so huge? He said because that is not who I am. He loves the

person not the body. He actually got a bit mad at me and asked if I

thought his love was that shallow. He didn't understand that it wasn't

him I was saying this about, it was how awful I felt. I still think

people are nuts saying I look " so great " though. I'm a work in

progress. :-)

@@@@@@@that's what i think too. but if i am losing weight i look

better than i did before, and my confidence is stronger and therefor

also my appearance and that makes us look better.

@@@@@@@we made a tape of ourselves so i could see me. no nothing

naughty. lol.,, but i was so disgusted with my belly. everything else

looks great i was literally crying i was so disgusted, but i have to

change not only for me but for my future children.

[Guest guest]

LOL

I always got mad at my poor husband because men were so 'visual' and

make our 'fluffy' lives misserable! LOL.

My mom doesn't say 'fat' - she says 'fluffy'. As if that's going to

change the fat into some kind of sought after thing :-)

I have devised a little 'test' of sorts. I have no idea what I realy

look like, as my body image is so distorted and changes daily. So

here's what you do. When you go somewhere - anywhere at all, keep an

eye on the male population that passes you. Kind of side glance so

they can't see...if they are looking or are smiling and holding doors

open - guess what? You DO look good :-)

LOL. I remeber when I first hit 172. Boy was I estatic! I had

tried fo soooo long and finaly hit that number. I felt great and I

thought I looked great. then I got down to 169 (for 1 day) and when

I went back up to 172 I felt so fat and yucky!

All atitude.

What gets me is how some days I feel like I look ok and I am proud

and wear those nice figure hugging dresses and tops, then the next

day - same weight - I feel so fat and yucky and am mortified that I

would wear that outfit I wore the day before.

(How do you spell that word??? - wear, was wearing, wore??? I always

try to type whore - but that's DEFINATELY not it. yet wore don't

look right either.)

LOL I think that is right...... wore. Oh yea about the feeling great

and then yucky. Try I feel that several times a day! When I was 195 for

like a week I think I thought, finally! I did it, under 200! Then blew

it. Guess I'm still kicking myself. I can't wait to be 170s, hell right

now 199 sounds great!

i have seen myself and i think i look liek the michelin man, but

anyways my honey loves me for me and i appreciate that but men are

visual and that does make me so upset, that is one of many reasons i

am changing myself but not the reason. the reason is for my future

children, for my health, to fight off hereditary diseases as best i

can, but i really would like to really wow him when i am done working

this off.

i had been 200 and got down to 198 and then 193 not too long ago,

well i am back up to 196 but it's okay because i know i fell off and

i know what i need to do, and now i really feel committed, because i

know my trainer is going ot be there the days i should be and during

the whole time frame i said that would be best for me, so i really

have ot show up or she's going to want to know where i was. but she

isn't a nag and she understands the whole thing. but i really really

feel committed now.

I can't wait! :-) It has been longer though. That's why I'm frustrated.

I'm not giving up by any means. In fact just the opposite, it makes me

keep working harder. I know it's just my body holding on to the weight

for dear life.

Ang,

Give up cream and sugar? My coffee is my one treat that I allow myself

and I can't stand it black! That sounds like a good method that you and

hubby are doing.

Why don't you put skim milk or 2% instead of cream. I use to drink

an extra large 3 cream 3 sugar. Now it is an extra large 3 skim milk

and 2 sugar twin. It was gross at first but now I really do like

it. I look forward to my coffee. It is my treat of the day!!!!

Ya - I can't believe I'm trying this either!

But I use to drink my coffee black, then when I started working at

the waffle house their coffee was SOO horrible that I started using

ALOT of cream and sugar. I mean if someone else takes a drink of my

coffe it all but gags them sweet! LOL. Well, I have to work as much

as I can (which is only 2 or 3 10 hour night shifts per week right

now) - and I don't want to get back to 1/2 sugar 1/2 coffee...so, I

made myself promise that at work - black only. It's so nasty that it

doesn't matter if I use alot of stuff anyway - it taiste nasty right

through! I'm trying at home too - although so far I am not real

happy with it. I miss the am good cup of coffee.

Ya, I thought of that...but I figure if I have to get use to

something I don't like - I might as well get use to it black.

I'll give it 2 weeks. After 2 weeks if I still feel like it's WRONG

(lol), then I'll go back to my old way and try to use less everything

to start with.
