What is wrong with me?

Re: What is wrong with me?

looks like you already told us what whent wrong and why so now what are you going to do about it?
since you enjoy your morning exercise just do it and tell everybody the day before you will be doing it pass out ear plugs for those who say it is too noisey for them to sleep.

Get back to induction level eating to get your ketosis going and then look out world here comes our shrinking, getting healthy body morphing divaindubai.

Once you take control of your eating and exercise back from others you will be amazed at what you can accomplish but you have to toe the line you draw in the sand and say this is it I'm in control and I will do it!

Re: What is wrong with me?

Diva, I was wondering how tall you were? I was just noticing you're about my weight now but you have a goal weight of 135 which is low for me... i'm trying for 165...

Re: What is wrong with me?

Thanks again all for your responses.

I am pleased to say that I'm up again at the bright of dawn practically and preparing myself to jump on the eclyptical at 6 a.m to do my exercise.

I'm also going to start induction today as well.

Aggie: I am 5'5" - 5' 6" tall. Maybe 135 lb is too low for me you are probably right. I know what I looked at at 155 lbs and I could still lose another 15 pounds at that weight, but that was before I had any children, so maybe my body will look different at 155lbs now who knows.

Re: What is wrong with me?

Duvain... I think you're right. 135 is a bit too low to aim for I think. Judging from how some people look at our height (I'm 5 6") who weigh even 185, man they look fantastic. I think you don't have as far to go as you think for heavenssakes! Its well within reach now. Maybe if you go to 155 you can decide if its even worth pursuing 135. Especially since you've had kids for heavenssakes! We can't be 18 again but we can be reasonable with ourselves I hope. There! We both feel better? Right? Right! Keep on truckin Duvain. You're doing fine! There's nothing wrong with you. You've lost 19 lbs and you don't have 101 to go. How much then would you have to lose? I hate math.

Re: What is wrong with me?

And, Diva, rememeber we can all only do this ONE DAY AT A TIME! If something goes wrong, set it behind you and start the next day afresh.

The morning exercise is a great idea, I think. I do mine every day at 5.30 am and it sets me up for the day. If I miss it for any reason I am cranky and discombobulated all day!

And I can recommend keeping a journal. For me, the act of taking up pen and committing my deeds and misdeeds to paper (yes, I put in all the bad stuff too, then I can see what triggers what off) really keeps me focussed.

You can do this, and you've already made a good start. Don't think about the ultimate goal, set goals like I'd like to lose 5 or 10 kgs by <date>.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Re: What is wrong with me?

Dear Aggie!

Thank you for your comprehensive analysis! You are so sweet! Where in Quebec are you btw? I'm also Canadian myself, but from Vancouver. You might be right about the weight goal thing.

I think I might be one of those women who will never be completely thin, who knows huh? Can't say never until i at least try my hardest to get down there!

ARe you saying you are also around the same weight as I am at the moment? How interesting, we could be buddies on here and encourage one another!

Re: What is wrong with me?

Dear Analog

Thanks for your words of encouragement! You are doing great btw with your weight loss, I think your weight is coming off slowly but surely. That's great and I'm sure you are feeling good about your weight loss.

Take care and thanks again!

Re: What is wrong with me?

Hi Divain! That would be fun! I'll encourage you if you encourage me. Yes, I too am living the misery of the "250 magnet" that keeps pulling us back and forth so we're in the same place pretty much. I live across the river from Ottawa. Now I gotta disagree with you. You are the kind to be thin. You will be thin at 155 if not 165. You'll see...

Re: What is wrong with me?

hey Aggie!

I will scan a pic of me when I was weighing around 160 lbs or so. I guess people will think that I was around 130 or 140 lbs. I tend to have a lot of muscle on my body, obviously a lot more muscle now to carry all this excessive weight around. Its mostly around my midsection and my chest . I was much smaller chested (probably around a B or C cup) and now i'm . I still have somehow an hourglass figure, just a bit of a wharped one . Ah well, hopefully my body will take to morphing into more of an acceptable shape.

Re: What is wrong with me?

There are a lot of us in the same boat as you. I've always been obese. When I was born I tipped the scales at 10lbs 14ozs.

It didn't get any better for me from there. We can do this. The trick is to get away from sugar and all it's nasty forms. Once you can do that, you'll find the weight melting off of you.

I feel like we have so much in common just from reading your first thread, lol. It must be nice living in Dubai. I've heard a lot of good things about over there. My sister in law lives in Kuwait. She loves it, but it's so difficult with the visas and whatnot to stay there.

Anyway--as far as weight goes, one pound at a time is all I'm looking at these days.

Re: What is wrong with me?

Looking forward to your photo Divain. I was looking at Wannbethins pictures and she is 190 or 185 (I forget). She looks skinny! So if you've got muscle my friend you're going to look great soon. You're also ahead of me because the only well developed muscles I have are on my fingers from typing my long winded annoying posts... lol I also think I'm losing my mind. I think I gave you a long lecture about a goal weight of 135 when your signature says 170. Wherever did I get that idea? I must be senile... I'll just add that to my list of things to change about myself... Stay strong!
