Okay, I'm going to give this a shot. I've had a journal on 2 other boards and didn't keep up with it because, frankly, I love the DIS and spend all my time here.
I am, as of today, VERY frustrated and angry and ready to give up..... again! Alot of today I've spent surfing diet web sites. I will give this one more try, and I'm going to be successful darn it!
Here's some back ground...
I was thin in high school... a size 9/10 and I'm about 5'7''. I thought I was fat.... I've slowly crept up and up, and after a pregnancy, I wore a size 18 and tipped the scales at 203 once I lost most of the "baby fat" from being preggers. I've been dieting, and watching what I eat, for almost 2 years. At one point I got down to 184 (big deal, but it was better than 203). I'm now up to 189 again. I've tried W.W. (pre-pregnancy), I've counted calories (that worked the best, to date), I've done Atkins (DID NOT work for me... sorry Atkins fans!). I've also gone through just giving up. Kinda where I'm at now.
I want to have another baby, but I refuse to get pregnant until I can get to a healtier weight. I don't want to start out at 190 BEFORE I even get pregnant. I want to wear clothes and not feel like I've got rolls of fat sticking out everywhere. I want to wear a bra and not have the underwire cut into my arm.
I am ranting here, and I'm sorry. Hopefully in a few months I can look back onto this post and feel proud of what I've accomplished.
I'm going to try counting my calories again. I'm not officially starting until Monday. I need to make my shopping lists and such. I still am careful with my food, so it's not like I'm going to binge all weekend. However we are having a fun filled social weekend with family and friends, so I'm not going to be too strict on myself. I can't pass up authentic mexican food tomorrow night! Honestly though, I am always careful.
Let me conclude (finally ) by saying I drink a ton of water and although I know it's good for me, I don't think it helps me lose weight. I also have exercised alot the past year or so and in the past 2 weeks have stopped. I will start again. And finally, if anyone has a cure for being hungry often, I'd love to hear it. Does anyone take the 1 A Day Weight Lose vitamin?
Well, I'll take any feed back or thoughts of any kind at any time.
Thanks for listning!
