Hi Everyone
WOW sounds like everyone is doing so well WAY TO GO.LOL I just figured out how to do the smilies look out now a monster has been created. Keep up the good work and the positive thinking.
I stayed the same last night which was fine with me.The meeting was about activity and it was one that gave me alot of thought.I realized that I need to get my areobic exercsie done on the weekend counting monday and the strength through the week.I can do alot of strength workouts even when I feel tired and she said that the amount of walking that I do should be good enough until hubby's shift get's back to normal.Made me feel really good and that I was not being lazy So I have started a plan that on saturday morning I will get on my bike for 30 minutes and sunday and monday because I am not so tired and the rest of the week I am going to work different muscles every day. That is my goal for this week along with journaling and water.Would anyone have a problem if I did my eating journal on here I use this more than type and would find it alot easier.undefined I will be back on later if anyone wants to chat have a great night and see you later.

Hi everyone,

Well, I did not log in yesterday, due to guilt, I was having a binge day. I felt guilty most of the day... who am I kidding, all day. It feels so good to let it out. No ones I binged yesterday. I prayed for it to stop and about 10:00 pm it did, with me feeling like I was going to vomit, pains in my belly, blaming the chinese food I had for dinner at 8:30pm. I thought I had food poisoning. I woke up feeling hung over, like I really had food poisoning. Well I prayed some more and more and more. Then I went through all I ate, I have eaten 10X more food than I did yesterday.

Then I realized, just before I got sick I looked at myself in a reflection from my slider out to the back deck.... I was huge... I have never been this big, not even when I was 9 months pregnant. It made me physically sick. After that I sat down and put a piece of candy in my mouth and that is when it began.

I know I ate more than I should have, but definately not as much as I could have. Today, I walked a mile, and I still have 10 points left. I went food shopping on an empty stomach, I bought mostly veggies, I am going to make a veggie soup, a turkey chili, (all in the crock pot) and another chicken dish. I will have them for the week. That way I can eat as soon as I come home from football.
Something feels different. I had felt sick all day, but managed to walk a mile and I ate only my meals.

Anyway,

Laura Lynn, you keep coming back, something has to be said for that. Bravo to you. When I'm feeling bad I run and hide in my own pity, depression whatever. But you are doing great checking in, even though you are not up to it. Good for you, keep checking in. Maybe someone's post will help you change your feelings about whatever is going on with you. Smile daily.

Joy, congrats on the loss, that is awesome. Keep up the great work,, share some motivation......

Sam thank you for the papertowel theory. I like that!! Congrats on the new gym membership and most improtantly.... using it. I am so happy for you. I use to live at the gym, I know waht to expect, but I am not ready to go back. As if they were going to laugh at me, my pants would fall down, etc.... Bravo to you. That is wonderful......

Trisha, better to stay the same than gain. I have trouble with exercise myself I use to love it, now it is too much of an effort. I cannot wait to get back to loving it. Aren't the smiles fun?

Julie, hang in there, keep reading, you can learn alot to help you with the all ofr nothing way of thought. I was the same way... " Oh I blew it, I might as well keep eating". But I am learning alot from everyone who posts there thoguht and feelings about what they go through.

Hey angie, loved the speech, It was very encouranging. I have lived my life stating "If I were thinner then....... I know now, that being thinner or lighter will prove to me that I am more peaceful with myself. And that as Martha, would say "is a Good Thing"

Mary, hope all is well, Keep doing what you were doing

I love you guys,

Hi everyone how is everyone doing?
Well I'm sorry I can't post very often but, I am very busy with college and stuff.
I was wondering where all of the smileys and pics beside user names come from?
I had an embarrasing moment in my pe class last night.
We had a fitness test to see what kind of shape we are in according to a timed 12 minute walk.
I guess it doesn't sound that bad. However, I barely made it around the track one time and my legs were cramping up.
I had to quit. Most of the other students made it around four or five times. Also, my pe teacher weighed me and did a BMI test in front of everyone. The scale went from 0 to 0 and my teacher had to ask me what I weighed because the scale didn't go up that high.
I was humiliated not to mention my self esteem (what lil of it that was left) sunk down into the ground.
I guess I am at a point where I am really depressed because I know that my weight is not just a personal and emotionally problem but, it is also a health hazard.
I want to change things but every time I think about it I get depressed and start crying or something.
I wonder if there is such a thing as being too far gone to come back?
I just need some motivation maybe and some reassurance that I am worth having a life. What kind of diets is everyone on?
Well thank everyone for the support.
I will try to get in more often.
thanks
Fran

Hey I have a kitty avatar.
I am trying to see if this works.
Bare with me.

<--------should be me.
<------need that during algebra class.

Hey Fran - and welcome to our thread. You didn't mention how old you were? You are in school? I don't think that it was right of the pe coach to weigh you in front of everyone, but I was there once, and I know how it is. You have done the right thing coming here, because this site is wonderful when you are depressed and unmotivated.
As far as dieting goes, I am a firm believer that the best way is just to eat less calories than you burn. People would probably argue with me. You should find out what works for you and go with that.
I suggest to switch from cokes to water and eat more fruit. That by itself would probably help you. Make sure that you talk to your dr, though, for any health hazards that you should know about.

Please remember to come back and share your sucess stories with us.

Sam
