i have to be honest here: i haven't been keeping track of my foods; i haven't been as strict with what i'm eating; i haven't been exercising as regularly. i'm having trouble with my motivation, since i haven't been losing, and I haven't been losing so i'm not as motivated.
would i ever wear white capri length jeans even if they looked good on me? i don't think so. does everybody have to look perfect? i guess in the back of my mind since i wasn't overweight till i was a full blown adult with kids and a stressful life, I guess I see myself as that fit person I used to be. except that i'm seriously overweight! i'm FAT; there I said it. I admitted it. I realized it. so now what?

i was at my brother in laws house for a bbq and his sister in law who is just 3 years older than me, we went to high school together, and weird but true coincidence has a GRANDSHILD was wearing white capri jeans, along with her teenage daughter. I am traumatized.

Start here: track your food. Until you know where you are, you can't change. Just being aware of your intake will help you make better decisions. For instance, knowing you have to log it, you will resist that "one bite" of just about everything. After all, how do you track "one bite"? Seriously, you'll thank me later. Start here and everything else will fall into place. :)

I don't mind capri pants. I just don't care for white clothes that much. I am the one who would sit and end up with stains all over.

Mrsmole is spot on. Give it a chance.

I'm with MM. One thing at a time. Get used to logging it all. Then learn to be embarrassed by it. Then... you get the picture. @_'-' <-- the picture

I know! I was doing it for a while, but it's easy to cheat even if you're keeping track, you can pick an oz of one steak vs the other and it'll show up totally differently! I just got tired of doing it! But truth is, I'm eating like I'm in maintenance but I need to lose another 30 lbs of fat! I need to focus here!

I confess, I sometimes don't eat hummus, but when I put it back in the refrigerator I lick the spoon that stills has hummus on it. I log that one lick as 1 teaspoon of hummus, worth 8 calories. I also used to eat a baby carrot every time I opened the refrigerator. It's low calorie, so no harm done, but at the end of the day how many did I eat? I now weigh out 85 grams of baby carrots and put them in a sandwich bag so I know exactly how many calories I am eating.

I see what you mean. Its not the capris per say its the fact that she could wear them and was only 3 years older and had children and grand kids. Just know if you really want it you can get there. Just gotta work at it. Sucks I know but look at it this way. You worked at getting overweight. It took energy to go to the kitchen, get out that food and eat it. So now your working in a different direction. Plus that woman more than likely had to work at being able to look good in capris. PS I don't record every bite but I try and keep it within 100 calories. I've also figured my cals at the least excersise I knew I'd do.

I just looked at your weight history and it seems to me your doing well. It may not be flying off but its steady. I doubt it took only 6 months to gain that extra so don't expect it to come off in l months. Quit being so hard on your self. You've allready been doing it so just go back to that. Also remember as weight goes down BMR goes down.

When I was obese, I ignored it. I was an average weight until I was 19 and I still felt like that person, even when I was obese. I thought I looked better than I really did, because my mind hadn't caught up with my body. It's the opposite for most people who feel really fat when they're not very much. Then I was obese for over 10 years, so my mind caught up, and then after I'd lost all the weight, I still felt like I was obese. I still have body image issues. I think I look horrible, even though I've lost 100 lbs and nearly have a normal BMI. I don't think you should call yourself "fat" though, especially with capital letters! YOU are not fat; you are a human being; your body just carries extra weight. To find your motivation again, sit down and have a "thinking session" with yourself. Think about how far you've come, how you don't want to go back there, where you want to be, and how you're going to get there. Then take the steps/actions to do so, and recommit. Thinking about those things will help motivate you to recommit, and recommitting will put you in the right mindset to follow through with your plans. You can do this!

Deb_N, you're right on. It seems foolish to log the little things, but if a person isn't careful, before you know it, you're having a dozen 'licks' a day. Let's call it 100 calories. 36000 calories per year... 10 pounds. (Sometimes math scares me.)

I will never wear white Capri pants - They just don't look good on me. I have curves - always have always will. Stress could be stalling you. Look at you kids and get some motivation there. Play with them. I don't know their ages - but play on their level - if they can run - play tag; if they are just walking - play a game where you walk sit on the floor then get up and walk again; if they are crawling or rolling - craw or roll with them.
I stayed home with my boys that was 30 years ago and it made all the difference in their lives now. There are many part time jobs - I taught a class at a mother's day out program and one day a week the kids stayed there and I have some much needed alone time.
Keep up the good work. :)

Wholefoodnut, white capris are bad, but my vote goes to low-rise jeans...you're just begging the muffin-top gods to punish your ego!
|
Giggles!! Actually, I love low rise jeans, they just fit me better, even with a muffin top yet. Long tops over them work good. I rarely where white except t-shirts. I'd end all spots of who knows what and probably puppy prints from my crazy Jazzy. I always hated pedal pushers when I was a kid, they just renamed them to capris to sound cool......
