The 'Respecting My Body' Diet
After a few years of struggling with life, I have reached a stage of peace with myself, who I am body and soul.
This naturally led me to the realisation that I all that I need is to RESPECT my body, the same way I have started respecting myself. My body will heal itself. By respecting, I mean doing everyday everything my body will need to feel good in the short and long term. This is a sort of diary to record my progress. |
I think respecting your body is a wonderful approach to take.
Just a suggestion, but I found that font color almost impossible to read. Not sure if thats just me or not though. :-) |
Week 2 Of Many Complete
Week started at 84 Kg
It was a not so good week. The first part went well until family came in for the weekend. Then I allowed everything to go downhill. So the loss and beautiful feeling at the beginning of the week is now replaced by me feeling stuffed and gross. I've been able to maintain the weight. I have fulfilled my promise to myself to weigh in once in a week, monday morning. It was tough, but I did it. For future reference: when receiving family, I'll buy provisions ONLY when they are on the way, to make sure they are indeed coming, when they'll be arriving and how many they'll be. Week ended at 84 kg. |

Week started at 84 Kg
It was a good week overall. I find that the beginning of the week is Lways ok, but the end tends to be a different story. This week, the biggest down was constipation. Im going to adopt laxatives from now on. Week ended at 83.6 Kg There's no failure unless in no longer trying |
I followed through...
Week started at 83.6 Kg
This week I spent 3 days at the hospital for a gastro. I did my best to maintain loss. I wasn't able to wait for monday to weigh myself because of that. It was an unusual week and I was in pretty much a hurry to see how it had affected me. The weight I recorded as ending week weight rather corresponds to my weight on friday. Looking back, I don't regret it because right now it's my period so I can't record any accurate weight. I'll use that rather. Spending a few days with family was a challenge. I did just average. I'm however grateful I didn't go overboard. I'm getting used to respecting my body and right now, that's what matters. On the low side, I had 3 bowel movements in the whole week and that certainly doesn't feel good. I have to look for diet friendly natural remedies to treat that. Gonna start with water. THERE's no failure unless in no longer trying. Week ended at 82.6 Kg :smug::smug::smug: |
Week 5 of so many!
Week started at 82.6 Kg
I'm proud of myself. Making it despite everything. My unplanned trips, negative comments, family stays etc. Still not exercising yet but still losing and maintaining. IT PAYS TO RESPECT ONES'S BODY. LISTEN TO IT AND NURTURE IT. Unlike the previous times, I'm not getting tired or fed up. I can't get fed up of living a NORMAL LIFE. Clothes are fitting. I'm feeling G R E A T inside out. GO ME!!! Week ended at 82.5 Kg |
This girl is doing great!!!
Week started at 82.5 Kg
This week, I did g-reat all week long. The weekend however was tougher. On Saturday, I felt blue and had ice cream, chocolate and a lil bit of alcohol. So I ate in response to negative feelings. On Sunday, I was out of town with colleagues and I had sodas, pastries, rice etc. I ate even though I didn't feel hungry. I ate just because food was shared around. I felt bad looking at others opening their packs hours later, only when they felt hungry. The road is long. I'm a sick person on recovery so I'll experience relapses from time to time. What matters is that I'm learning to respect my body and it's reacting quite well....and....I'm feeling so good. The scale is doing good and clothes are speaking loads. FORWARD! FORWARD! FORWARD! FORWARD! FORWARD! Week ended at 82 Kg |
Week started at 82 Kg
This week I was determined to complete a 3 day juice feast and I did 2 days. It was an average week overall. My periods are on the way, with their lot of emotional issues attached. I know I'm doing far better than before calming myself up with food. But there's room for improvement. Week ended at 81 Kg I AM HAPPY |
Period week of so many...
Week started at 81 kg
This has been a "period week". I managed to stay withing the 81 kg range. I'm proud and happy that despite the bloating and cravings, my weight hasn't fluctuated upwards so much. Negative point though, I've moved my bowels just once! Hating this, really. Week ended at 81.5 kg Winds against progress... But a healthy lifestyle has come to stay. Loving the ride! |
Not so good week!
Week started at 81.5 kg
I didn't really do well this week. It was a period week and I was bloated throughout. I was constipated throughout as well: 7 good days with no bowel movement. I hardly drank any water. I ate at night, right before going to bed, 2 or 3 times. I ate loads of rice and other starchy foods for many days. I gave in to period cravings, ouch! I'm still going strong though. My Whole family is coming over for a 2-week stay and this is going to be a TRIAL AT SO MANY LEVELS!!! Im keeping my fingers crossed for this. :crossed: I've reached one of the expected rough patches, so I make the pledge to my body, to keep respecting it no matter what... So help me God! Week ended at 80.7 kg |
a bump on the journey :(
I haven't written for almost a month now. The past weeks have been terribly horrible for me.
My family spent 2 weeks with me. Everything I was afraid of happened: non stop food fest. I was ok the first few days, but I broke my new healthy habits. In addition, I went through terrible times financially. I had to eat whatever my money could afford. And then I had hit a really low point mentally. I have a toxic family, and an extremely toxic mother. Bless her heart. Even before she came, I knew what was going to be the outcome of their visit. I now have to pick myself up again. I'm having negative thoughts about my weight and weight loss. I'm feeling, I'll never lose weight if things like this should happen around me often. I'm praying they don't approach me for the next few months. It's being difficult for me resuming my good habits about a 3 week break. At the beginning of the day, I make a good resolve, but I end up doing things I stopped to do: eating anything, anyhow, and at any time. My scale, I haven't used in all those weeks, cos it's not working, I guess from having so many people using it at the same time. I gotta pick myself up now. |
I had to force myself to write something, just to keep a regular track of my progress.
I back to 80 kg and I'm happy. |
Respecting my body all the way!

Week is starting at 79.9 kg
I love that number. Back to actually and actively caring for my body and respecting it.:hug: |
Week started at 79.9 Kg
I'm really surprised that I didn't gain any weight this week...i *****ed around A LOT with food. I also credit myself for taking good decisions though. I just bought a carton of water to encourage myself to drink a lot this coming week. I'm doing WELL! Week ended at 79.8 Kg |
