Please Help - Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Please Help - Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Minnie,
It sounds like we have a lot in common. This is also my 4th day of induction. I am 5'5 and 170 pounds. Although it isn't a huge number, it's enough to really get you down and so much harder to lose than if you weighed alot more. Like you, I'm also quite impatient and want results quickly, otherwise I get discouraged.

That is so awful if people you know are telling you that you are fat - don't they know that is not going to help you, but instead make you want to eat?! I have experienced the opposite - when I got down to my goal weight a couple of years ago, I had everyone telling me how fantastic I looked, which made me feel really bad, like I must have been so disgusting before. So the weight went back on. Weird huh?

It sounds like everyone has given you great tips regarding your eating. I just thought I'd lend some emotional support. Let's both try and stay patient this time so it works!

Hugs

Hi guys thanks for the support.

I doubt I have been eating too much. But I think I will cut down anyway and see how it goes. My ketone stick looks the purpliest (if there's anything like that lol) ever.
I went on the scales this morning and weighed in at 155lbs (from 160). I know that most of it will be back on by the end of the day - I hope not.

Hey Aussie girl, good luck to you too. I know what it's like when people put you down. My friend's mum said to me a yr ago, "wow you've grown so fat", before she even greeted me, I felt awful. But in a way it makes me stronger and even want that beach bod. so badly lol.
