I hate that it takes so long, and that going out with friends is like a hurdle race ("how about we go here?" "sorry, no can do, they don't have salads!" "how about there?" "I can't eat that." And so on...)
More laundry from going to the gym. Feeling like I am being selfish carving out the time for the shopping, cooking, and exercising. Battling the negative thoughts that creep in telling me I should never have even gotten to this weight...
When out to dinner with friends, I hate when the beautiful, yummy desserts are delivered and I just sit there and watch everyone else eat them with pleasure. Yes, I said I didn't want any, but it still makes me sad that I can't have what you're having.
I, too, hate being in between sizes in clothes. I have GOT to get about 10 lbs off so I have something to wear when the weather warms up. Everything in my closet is either too big or too small right now.
I live in tropical climate and it's sunny all year round.
I've decided to walk everywhere I go, so I'm sweaty the whole time. I don't mind being sweaty in my workout outfits, but in office clothes it is quite embarrassing. I also have to wash my clothes much more often. They're dirtier and therefore harder to clean. And the repeated washing wears them off more quickly.
BUT WHO CARES? I WILL NOT NEED TO WEAR THEM AFTER MY WEIGHT LOSS!
I think i hate it how there's such a fine line between eating enough to lose weight and eating enough to avoid hunger and
b. the thought that my body will reject the new me and force me to get fat again if i mess up. i.e. if i lose weight too fast and trigger a ravenous appetite that makes me fat again.
awshucks, i don't want to ruin your plan but i wonder do you think you'd be risking anything by having dessert in a situation like that.
On my diet, this is one of the two occasions when i am allowed to eat sweets. I haven't put the situation to the test yet but i don't want to have that deprived movement that you've just described. Beyond that, i' am convinced this is the only way i can give them up forever. I have to have the odd safe out clause. Of course i have to make sure that the sweets don't trigger seomthing afterwards so i would prepare before heading out that evening for what's to come.
And if the dessert menu looked pretty ordinary, i would say no. I only want to eat them when they are going to be amazing.
I hate that I have to make up excuses, why I won't eat something that is offered. Obviously I don't want to explain my diet to everybody. Struggling with celebrations is really hard for me. Half of the times I break, eat too much and feel bad afterwards.
hi hope u dont mind me joining in!i can relate to ur situation-even my family that come over for food every wknd i cant handle so i stay out the way until they have finished eating as i cant eat what they eat on my plan!im type 1 diabetic,have a problem with binge eating-but iv now done 25 days binge free and hence lost 13lbs up2 my last weigh in so thats good!i wNt to try n learn how to b able to sit with other ppl no matter what the food and not end up eating everything i shouldnt-this wknd my mum is doin foood that i eat which will help me bt i still have the problem that there will b bread and butter on the table-if i dont c it i dont miss it but if its in front of me i find it hard and get jealous of everyone else eating it-i have a problem!im going to try and ignore that its there and fingers crossed i can do it!
I don't hate recording my lower weight in MyFitnessPal, but then it recalculates how many calories I can have... and it is lower. AND, it recalculates how many calories I burn with each exercise, and... it is lower. I want to say "Wait! It still feels difficult to me to do those exercises but you're penalizing me!!!" I understand why it does it, but I don't like it.
I hate questions/comments from people. "How much have you lost?" "What plan are you following?" "Here is what I think you should do." Sorry, don't want to talk about it.
I also hate the awareness that comes with being healthy. Even when I want to, I can't indulge like I did when I wasn't watching my weight or caring about my health - I know too much now and can't help but keep mental tabs on the calories, nutrients, preparation, etc. I can't turn the educated part of my brain off and it informs and dictates how far I'll let myself go. Most of the time this is an excellent victory and a great change, but sometimes I secretly think it would be nice to be ignorant and not care what I'm eating for a day.
Absolutely! As someone who has been a conscious eater since 7 years of age, I have spent all of my life going for the healthiest option at any time. I don't know what it's like to just eat food because I want to and not tally it in some way.
When I was in college, I made a bucket list. One of the items on it was to order whatever I felt like eating at a restaurant without worrying about the nutrition. That's so sad...
Timely... I just cleaned out my closet of all the things that were too big to wear anymore and I am left with a very very bare closet. I have a handful of things that fit pretty well on rotation but I need a bit more!
Also. I'm pretty obsessed with this whole thing right now. It's pretty much the only thing on my mind. Thinking about what I'm going to make for supper, how many calories I have left. If I should have a snack now or later. What I am going to do at the gym today. What I am going to do at the gym tomorrow. Obsessed! (I don't think it's really a bad thing, I'm just happy I'm focused!) I have to make an effort to not JUST talk about that stuff! Try hard to just listen!
I agree at my boobs shrinking! lol Also no matter how fast we lose weight, it seems slow, because we want overnight success, so add to my list "never being satisfied". In general though, it definitely beats the alternative, I've been so much happier since beginning my weight loss journey.
1.Not being able to recognize on site what clothes might fit.
2.Jiggly body, when I walk/run my boobs and butt bounce around no back or tummy to hide the movement.
3.Not being able to forgive myself when I mess up and have a bad day or two... or week
4.Looking or focusing on new flaws or I guess BDD(Body Dismorphia Disorder) wah I need to correct this behavior yesterday!!!
