Well, Hello all of you wonderful people ... I am here because I feel like a hostage in my own body... I have been struggling with my weight for the past 7 years and it is getting on my last nerve. I am hoping that I can overcome my emotional eating a forge forward with some other outlet. I wish my vice was running.... LOl like if I was mad at someone I would just run for 2 hours... It is not .. If I get mad I eat a cheeseburger and fries...
I was at one time very outspoken but, it got me into alot of problems because sometimes it was just to much... which now I understand why... But now I have to find a way of expressing myself without eating.... well everyday is a new day full of light and love ...hope is a wonderful thing to have... I can not wait until I can look at the scales and see 120... or me just being able to get into a size 6 would be great... in my 20's that was the heaviest I got to was size 6... is it possible to recreate yourself and not suffer? last year I took off 60 lbs and did it via HCG... I lost a lot of my hair and yes I was in a 9 and it was great to get cute dresses but I just could not bring myself to do it again ... my brain felt like it was dead and I couldn't think ... I was obsessed with food ... when I got off I gained 10 lbs.. then slowly every month there was another 10 ... and so here I am again....
you mentioned on another thread that you loathe exercise. for me, thats the most important part of the equation. sorta unthinkable to have any results, w/o exercise i eat and eat and i dont want to do anything.
so is it just traditional exercise you hate? what about hula hoop, jump rope, nature walks, yoga(i hate yoga, just cant get into it), belly dancing, rock climbing, dancing, canoeing, kick boxing, boxing....there are so many activities. maybe you could just label it something else like moving more.
Welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.
I just heard of HCG injections - what a crazy thing! What did your doctor say?? I think people are supposed to eat only 500 cal a day - totally anorexic. No wonder you stopped thinking.
Well, becoming healthy does not need to be torture. If you do it right, you will love your new lifestyle.
katy... i am trying to use a mini trampoline... so far it is alright i just get bored... but i know u r correct I have to find something I like to be healthy!
Welcome here! I did a rigorous diet about 4 years ago Quick Weight Loss centers. I gained it all back and then some when I got pregnant... and then some more after I had the baby.
We have to all find what works for us and what is sustainable. Good Luck finding the plan or ideas that will work for you. There is a lot to glean from all the people sharing info on this site!
oh i have one of those. been meaning to use it again. i do intervals of jumping or jumping jacks and jogging/running on it. i also used to count sets of jacks, or see if i can get through a song running, or how many jacks during a song. great music is so important.
any kind of intervals is great for beating the boredom and burning fat. someones sig says, 'i love the smell of fat burning in the morning!' i love thst one.
have you thought about trying out a game on the wii? makes it less like 'exercise' something i dont like, its not intense enough. but it could be a good fit for you. maybe you know friends/family, could try the wii fit plus or other games.
maybe theres something you enjoyed as a kid? my fav was hiking/walking.
it really does need to be something you enjoy. looking forward to it. it could be best part of the day.
you might look at collage video. reviews of dvds. there might be something that you would enjoy.
your library could have some too. my sil library has wii games.
New and feeling like a hostage
to 3FC!
