    I need an intervention!!!!

    Hello all my ADBB friends! I need your help. An internet intervention! Since Feb. 20 when I found my way back to this wonderful WOE I've been doing well, losing weight, dropping a size and exercising! And most important, feeling GREAT! Things have gotten hectic in my life the past two weeks and I've been on and off plan. As of Friday I haven't worked out once and as of Friday I haven't been on plan. I feel I'm slipping...and that slope is a slippery one and hard to get back up if I keep slipping. I've been feeling very down, "blue" I guess you could say to this past week and oh so very tired. Sleeping a lot. And I'm wondering if there is a connection with eating crap and not working out that has made me so tired and blue?

    A couple days ago I got offered a part for a indie short. I couldn't make the auditions cuz I had two shows that weekend but the writer/director emailed me and said she couldn't find anyone at the auditions she wanted so the part was mine if I wanted. It was a "lead" part in a comedy is how she explained it to me. Well I thought, what the ****, yeah I'll take the part, mail me the short script. She does. I read it and promptly email her back declining the part. It was as if she despised fat people or something. There were lines like "the obese woman with food stains all over her shirt" and "When she walked her BLUBBER bounced and jiggled up and down" It was horrible. And it wasn't very funny. But it got me to thinking that if I don't lose the weight these are the same parts I'm going to be offered and I'M SICK OF IT!!! Yet there I was eating nachos and m&m's last night drowning my sorrows in the food.

    I don't want to impose but sometimes in life you have to ask for help. I need your help my friends, advice, stories support---an internet intervention! I want to get back on track RIGHT NOW! I'm off to read the boards that always helps.

    Thank you all!!!!

      MS is soooo right!

      Girl I fell off the wagon for 2 weeks and I, too, struggle with getting back on. Once you get off...it's so hard to get back on! BUT today is day four of my reinduction and I'm in ketosis!! YAY! SO YOU CAN DO IT! IF I CAN...YOU CAN! Set up a really mini goal for yourself....like 2 pounds and buy yourself a reward just for that! Getting back on the wagon, I made a really mini goal! Like if I stay on for 2 weeks...I get this new purse that I want! The weight loss will be a gift within itself but it's good to do for you!

      YES! TIRED AND BLUE IS A RESULT OF OFF PLAN/NO EXERCISE. You're feeling less in control and that's frustrating for anyone hon!

        Oh hon, you are so right! I feel like I'm fighting with two people inside me sometimes. There is that part of me that wonders what it would be like to be thin and healthy and the other part who thinks "I'm okay being fat". I won't let that "me" win! And I have a confession to make. I've always "tweaked" this WOE to allow for "treats" and even though I've still lost, I wonder if I did this 100% by the 2002 dandr book what would happen. So I've ordered the book and made a pact to myself that I MUST do it BY THE BOOK for the rest of the month which is 4 weeks, with no "freestyling" it. That means if I go out with the cast after a show, no drinking alcohol because even if it is a low carb beer, it adds up fast and my determination to eat the right things gets tested when I'm tipsy! That will be a big change on my part but you're right I KNOW what I want and I don't want to be fat anymore! Got to keep planning, that's where things feel apart these past couple weeks too, got busy and stopped the planning because I thought I knew what I was doing. Gotta keep planning, especially when my schedule gets busy.

        Anyway thank you so much for responding Betsy!

          I hate it! I remember how upbeat I was feeling! Well I just thought this is ridiculous! I can't go on like this and one more day off plan will be too close to being off for one week and that's not gonna fly. So I got back on, got my water, a lunch of eggs and bacon and got it marked in fit day. At 4pm, going to the YMCA to workout. And I'm thawing out some steak for dinner. I HAVE GOT TO STAY STRONG AND DO THIS! I see so many inspirational people on this board and I really one day want to inspire someone new. I need to be successful to do that!

          Thanks Katie and WTG on day 4!

              Actress (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

              Do you know, I have just read an autobiography of a UK comedian/actor and in it he said the feeling of giving in (to an addiction) is almost better than the addiction itself. Just for that split second... I can so relate to that but I also realise that this is a self-destruct tendancy and that you are punishing yourself by doing so. Believe me, I totally empathise - I have been there more than once.

              If you are like me, you are an all or nothing type that will either be totally strict - on plan and exercising or totally off plan - big time!

              Get back to it my friend. You will feel so powerful. It will only take one or two days to get over cravings and then you will be feeling like you are looking after yourself as you deserve to do.

              I am so glad you turned down that part. How insulting! Good for you.

              Please do it for yourself. I miss you on STAC. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

                  Re: I need an intervention!!!!

                  You know, I held my weight really well, and no one ever said anything ugly to me about my weight. About the worst I ever got was that "you have such a beautiful face" comment. Since I lost most of the weight, I have changed churches and go other places where no one ever knew that I was fat. I am always appalled at the comments very nice people make to me about other fat people. One of these days I'm just going off and yell out, "I used to look just like that fat slob!" I now know that they were saying it behind my back the whole time. Now, all the time, people just say YOU are so pretty.

                  This is why we need to do this for ourselves. Not for those other people. You are in the Spring Into Summer Challenge--do it for the challenge. Do it to spite the imbecile that wrote that horrid script! Get back on track, get your energy back and start posting your exercise every day on the SIS challenge thread. Several of us are doing so, and it keep us exercising because we pledge to each other that we will exercise.

                  You need to change you screen name for starters! Fat actress will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Change it to SvelteActressInLA then step away from the crap.

                  Sunny!

                  People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

                      Wow, Sunny, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Yep gonna post my exercise on the SIS thread for sure. I really had to re-read what you wrote about changing my screen name it really struck me. You're right I need to change my screen name ASAP! Can I do that without losing my reps and profile ect. Is there a way to just change my screen name?

                        Re: I need an intervention!!!!

                        First of all let me say how sorry I am that you are feeling hurt by those people in the casting department. I have struggled with my weight and I too have had those "nice"comments. It feels like being picked last for the team in elementary school. You are so much more than how they define you. You seem to be at a cross roads. This is the time that you must decide where you go from here. Yes, you have the choice. In fact, it has been yours all along. I am not an expert with this woe but what I have experienced to date, is there seems to be a flow of highs and lows. Some days you feel like you can do anything and then there are days when you are very low and down. THE easiest thing is to quit and give up. This woe takes discipline and long term determination. Going with the flow is easy and convenient. BUT, you dont strike me as a "blend in the crowd" kind of girl. You have chosen a career path that makes you stand out and perform. How you want to appear and been seen, is up to you.
                        I am a strong believer in positive energy and input. You need to surround yourself with strong, positive people who truly love you. I also like vision boards- that is creating a board filled with all the things that you want or want to achieve. Some people believe that it is essential to ponder these things daily and they find this gives them motivation to get up and go to work and stay the course. For me, I have a strong faith so I choose to fill my mind with purpose-filled books and music, etc. This keeps me on track. I find that being grateful for specific things on a daily basis is crucial. I journal alot. I also try and cut loose all things that want to bring me down. I simply do not have time in my life to fix my problems and theirs.

                        I have not ever done an intervention but I hope that today you feel like you matter to someone. Just read the posts on these boards. These people do care about you. I also dont want you to think that your decision is easy. Every action has a consequence. You get to decide up front where to go from here. I hope that you chose to believe that you can do this, dust yourself off, and climb back on to the healthy way of eating and living. Are you up for it??

                          Dear Smart, Sexy, Talented Actress in LA~ (SSTA/LA)

                          I think many of us have been where you're at lately - and no doubt about it: It IS easier to give in especially when ignorant people assume that your size somehow correlates to your talent or intelligence or value as a person. I went shopping in Chicago yesterday for formal wear for an event; I was appalled by many of the clerks in the *plus* size departments - one woman in particular (who did not quite reach my armpit) continued to make rude comments to me about my size - until I turned to her and said, "that's an awful thing to say to me". Unbelievable.

                          Even though my weight loss on this WOE is painfully slow, I try to focus on the side benefits of eating Atkins style. Some days are easier than others. And clearly the exercise helps with energy levels and fatigue.

                          I'm glad you refused to succumb to the stereotype - was it Eleanor Roosevelt who said (paraphrasing) no one can treat us badly without our permission? We must insist on defining ourselves or others will do it to us/for us.

                          I hope you'll get back on track - one day at a time. You can DECIDE to do this. And all of us are here for you

                            I would definitely kee away from the low carb beer and jello. I have avoided any low carb equivalents of what I used to consume a lot of (including beer LOL!) and have found it much easier this time round. It's not for ever - when we are closer to our goal (and we will get there), then we can introduce some of these products. Good luck with the clean induction. You can do it! X
