  • Ugh, here I am again.

    Go ahead and be as cruel as you can possibly be. I did a disappearing act for, oh lets say....7 months almost? And with those 7 months I haven't been doing this way of life, due to lonliness, depression, and whatever else, I've gained 15 pounds and now I weigh....230 pounds! I had sworn to myself that I would never...and I mean NEVER be over 200 lbs, yet I am... And I blame myself entirely for not sticking to this way of life when I was doing such an awesome job.

    What's changed this time?

    I've learned a lot about myself these past few months and I have realized if I can put my mind into doing something and actually acheiving that goal, then I can do anything. I have the potential to do weight, I've just been lazy. Of course, I have finally gotten situated at my new job and I am very happy for where I am today, job wise. I'm working as an EMT for an ambulance comapny and I couldn't be any happier.

    But I'm not all that happy. I do have this weight problem that I need to take care. I've looked through every picture of me and I realized that I look absolutly disgusting. No more of that. Starting 7/7/2008, I will change my life and do this for the rest of it. I know I Have said that many times before, but now I am serious about it because losing weight and being healthy is something that I really want right now. I'm single and there is NO possible way a guy would ever want to be with a fat girl like me. I realize that now.

    And why 7/7/2008? And not now? Well, I have to get all the food I need, and of course 7 is a lucky number for me, so I want to start on a day that would be lucky because of the double 7's and everything. =) And this time I will make it through.

    So go ahead and be as mean as possible and kick me in the butt because I most certainly need it.

    Always and forever,

    Bekka

    I've missed all of you and I can understand if you're mad at me.

    Uh...lol, 666? That's how many posts I've had on this site? Okay! 666 is an awesome number for me nonthe less. It doesnt mean anything, really.

    Welcome back Becca. No butt kicking here. We've all had our lapses at one time or another. Here's hoping 7 is your lucky number and you have a great clean induction with a healthy whoosh to go with it.
    JILL

    HW 298
    HW (this time) 248
    GOAL ONE 228
    (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

    It's not about the results. Its about the process.

                Awwww! Thank you everyone! Sorry it took ages for me to get back to you. I was at work all day yesterday and man, it was really busy!! Holy sugarsnaps! I didn't have one break for myself yesterday and I literally passed out when I came home. It was nice to sleep for a very long time and it's even nicer that I have today off. ^_^

                Can't wait til I can start this next week. =) I realized that it's just food. Who cares if it's boring or not? All the body wants is satisfaction of the hunger pang it feels, doesn't matter what you're eating. =P Gotta keep thinking that way. Ya ya! Won't get bored, I hope. At least I love veggies. <3

                      Bored?? Are you crazy??! There are so many induction legal recipes out there. I even started a thread in the induction section. No excuse to get bored. And climbing the rungs after induction...oh the possibilities!

                            Thank you everyone for your motivation so far! I'm gonna sit down with my mom and tell her that she needs to buy home more veggies and meats for me so I can make food for when I go to work. Some days will be harder than others, I know that, but I will do the best I can.

                            Reason why it's hard some days is because I work nonstop, back and forth picking up patients and I don't even get to sit down for 5 minutes to spend time for myself. So some days I don't eat at all and you can imagine how I feel by 11 at night, about to pass out, and overly dizzy. 0.0 (I blame this on the dispatcher who has never been an EMT before and don't know what it's like to lift around 6 or so times each patient, they get really heavy too...=( ) And I feel so bad that they are because they really are beautiful people.

                            Anyway!!!! Can't wait til Monday! I'm nervous, yet excited because I will be doing this again and I'll be happier about it this time. When I'm done, I will come out looking absolutly gorgeous!!

                            And Mitzi!!! ^_______________^ I've missed you hot mamma!! How you been?

                              [quote=Esteliana;922355]I'm single and there is NO possible way a guy would ever want to be with a fat girl like me. I realize that now.

                              [quote]

                              This is absolutely NOT true. Is every overweight woman you've ever seen single? No. Men are attracted to confident, self-assured women. I would be willing to bet, based on how beautiful you look in your picture, that if you're having trouble finding men, it has 100% more to do with your lack of self-confidence than your weight.

                              Lose weight for yourself, and yourself only! Also, lift your head up high, you are a beautiful girl with a great job, and you're young and have your whole life ahead of you! With a new attitude on life, comes a new self confidence that will have guys lining up to go out with you. If after losing some weight, you feel more confident, and that attracts more men, then awesome! What a great perk that would be of getting healthy!

                              I had really low self esteem and felt like no guy wanted to date me because I was fat. Then I looked around, and noticed that all my girlfriends are fat too, but they have boyfriends. It turned out that I had a great guy (my best friend) right under my nose who was completely in love with me, but I would push him away, because I was scared of rejection, and scared to become intimate with someone when I felt to unattractive. Through working out and becoming more healthy, and having a new attitude toward things, I have raised myself confidence, accepted him into my life as my boyfriend and things have never been better...and guess what? I'm still fat! So I know it was more than the weight that was holding me back.

                              I'm sorry for the long post, but when I hear things like that it makes me sad. You are a beautiful girl and you deserve someone who loves you just the way you are! If a guy will only date you if you're skinny, then he is shallow, and doesn't deserve you...what will happen when you become pregnant? You want a guy who is supportive!

                              Good luck on your atkins journey!
