3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hola Cysters! :wave:

Hi ya Jenn! Glad you have joined us here! :)

I have not been doing so hot on my eating. I have been doing well with adding extra steps in walking. :running: Now just have to get on the ball with the eating part.........

And here goes my "WAKE UP" call. I have been eating *horror flick music here* fast food instead of preparing a healthy meal at home before work. One of the 4 nights I worked this week, I did eat healthy. DH made tilapia (fish), risotto (small portion), and green beans. It was very very good! :) Then from there I went downhill and FAST! lol. But I have gotten back on my feet and am trying yet once again! lol.

Anywho, the wake-up call was when my new coworker who I've only been working with 2 weeks now, comes in, sees me eating Wendys fast food and says, "Oh decided to give McDonalds a break today?" or something to that affect. After that comment I just threw everything in the trash can and I had only eaten a small bit. I do not think he meant anything by it, but then again I don't know him. But he seems to be the type who just says whatever is on his mind. I'm used to that as my mil and my DH are the same way and I would rather somebody be that way then be sweet and kind to my face then as soon as my back is turned, stab me in the back. But that was a wake up call. If somebody that has only known me for that short amount of time can see that I'm a fast food addict, then there is a problem.

So for my "lunch" I say that in quotes because its at 2 am. lol. I went to Wal-mart (I also walked the entire SuperCenter in less than 20 minutes from one end to the other and out to the parking lot--not bad at all, for me at least) and got some tostidos tortilla chips with a hint of lime. I know not the best choice, but I did only eat a handful and that was all I ate for lunch. I just didn't want anything. :no: Then later on, like a couple hrs before leaving, about 7 or 8 am our co worker went down and got us all blueberry muffins. So I ate one muffin for my breakfast.

So there. I confessed. lol. I feel so "dirty" lol. But to be honest with you all, I feel so bloated from all this crap I have been putting in my body and I am so ashamed. :o

I ALMOST bought slim fast at Walmart and was just gonna "live" on that because its like I can't make the right food choices. :shrug: But I figured that would be giving up and I didn't want to do that. Plus I have tried slim fast and it makes me sick, literally...........

I dunno I just feel like I can't get it right. I am not a big fruit or veggie lover. I do like fish and rice. I guess I can buy some whole-grain rice? and just add a little veg to that? Fruit. I like: bananas, strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple. Thats it and I am picky about fruit. I don't like the crap they have in the mega marts. I like fruit from the little farmer stands only around here they have the STRANGEST hrs!!! They don't have the farmers open until 11 am here! :yikes: What is up with that? I thought it was supposed to be an EARLY morning thing???

Anyways. I vow to try harder. I may even go to the grocery today and take my time reading labels and getting good stuff. I have a BUNCH of crappy frozen meals in the freezer that I plan on having DH asking a guy at work who is basically a "garbage disposal" if he wants them and if he doesn't, I'll just throw them out, they were not that expensive and I honestly do not want them. :no:

Why am I using this thread as my "confessional"??? lol. I dunno honestly. Just came out. So anyways, thanks for listening to me and I hope to "inspire" some Cyster out there who is reading this to come and post. Its okay. If you mess up, even MANY MANY MANY times like me, its okay. You can get up and try again and again and again and the awesome part about this forum? They WILL NOT let you give up on yourself! That is why I love it here. They all understand that hey, we all can't just get up and start eating healthy and exercising and lose weight. Sometimes it takes people a LONG time to get it right, but the most important part of it all is: DON'T QUIT! :carrot:

Anyways, that is the message I have gotten from here from all the wonderful people here and I wanna say Thanks for not giving up on me when I have (I confess) have given up on myself.
