I had a holiday party to attend on Saturday. I got a new dress for the occasion, which was two sizes smaller then i used to buy. It made me feel great. I got dressed and i felt fabulous. However, when i went to the party it was in a place that had floor to ceiling mirrors on two entire walls in the room! OMG This was devastating!! No matter how i tried i kept getting glimpses of myself. I thought i looked so great when i left my house, i felt great but when i was in that room compared to other small people i guess and all the damn mirrors i just wanted to cry. i felt like big fat pig and i was so miserable!!
I have been working so hard. Absolutley love southbeach. But i have really stepped up my workout plan to, doing the p90x, gym, ellipitical just a mixture of everything every day. But i feel its not coming off as quick as it should now, down to maybe 1/2 pound a week.
I used to use fitday but have stopped because i didnt see the need for it. But i logged onto fitday today because i wanted to check my calorie intake and punched in my entire menu for the day which isnt anything unusual and I came up with about 1300 calories! I was really surpirsed cause i have been eating about this and not feeling hungry. Meanwhile my BMR is 1700! Plus I am exercising an hour to two hours a day. Can i get any thoughts on if this may be slowing down the weight loss still at this point. It just seems so illogical and i cant get my head around it. I know the whole thing about your body going into starvation mode etc, but is it possible with the above calorie intake and activity? On advise from my previous post about what to eat after working out i am adding on another grain today - so i will have oatmeal for lunch and then 1/2 cup of brown rice with my salmon for dinner. Maybe this will help. I am just not getting this, i should be looking a lot better than i do for all the work i have put into completely changing my lifestyle ...im just getting so disgusted.
Any thoughts? If any of you log your calories and have sucess at a certainl level can you let me know? Im not sure what to do. I am greatful i have lost what i have....just feeling sorry for myself i guess after Saturday
ughh
