mad at me!* BIG unrelated EDIT
I am so irritated with myself.
Remember how i lost a bunch of weight through WW and not eating when Dave was in the hospital?
Well, i have already gained a portion (not ALL) but some of that weight back.
GRRRRRR!!!!!!
i am really annoyed with this.
The problem? I SO cannot motivate myself to do WW right now. I’m going to try (again) but I have been having a HUGE problem actually staying on the plan.
This always happens to me. If i have a week where I gain.. even 1 lb!, i get discouraged and stop doing everything.. AND i only gained weight because I started to eat more than reduced fat Cheese Nips and fruit after Dave started getting better. I thought that knowing the reason would help this time.. but NO… total give up.
So that is it… i NEED motivation. I just don’t want to give myself the kind of motivation where i talk down to myself and feel bad about my body, so i feel desparate to lose weight, frustrated and depressed.. that is NO motivation at all in my book.. and it is HARD work for me not to tell myself those negative things when i get in these moods.. with these extra few pounds…
So a question, is there anything that motivates you??
besides looking better of course… or really works to help keep you in shape?
i really have to find something that i like.. because although, i have no problem with eating healthy.. for the most part.
i cannot seem to find any exercise that i really enjoy.. and i need to..
Anyway.. i was on Walmart.com.. and i found THIS!
for only $26.86!!! with FREE site to store shipping…LOVE it! Dave and i have been talking about maybe picking one of these up for them. I saw them last year and thought they were cute but they were l like $40-$50 and it was nearing the end of the summer anyway..
ok so i’m excited..
silly me…
(but i am getting some good mommy-points with this purchase! lol The girlies love it too!)
I can’t lose weight to save my life, I am horrible at it!

Being thin tastes better than anything you can eat!! I did WW and got discouraged after I lost 15lbs! I was so sick of counting my food. I am at my heaviest ever right now. That is my motivation. Wanting to look beautiful in 5 months in my wedding dress. Not hating myself when I look in the mirror. Josh is also a big help! I guess the wedding dress thing can’t work for you anymore! lol

ryn: im just exercising on my own. I am eating between 1200-1500 calories a day. exercising to hip hop abs. I love it. Its fun and the guy is very motivating. Drink a lot of water. Take a multivitamin. Trying to cut back on sweets and carbs. And be low fat. Even though it seems like a lot its not. I didn’t realize it but even before i started watching calories, i didn’t eat that much fat.

Which surprised me. I eat a lot of salad and chicken. If I want pasta, I make a light sauce with garlic and oil or something like that and i use a lot of veggies and chicken and not a lot of pasta. I don’t buy bread for me anymore so I don’t eat it. I eat a lot of yogurt and fruit. And I work out at least an hour a day. At least. I worked out for 40 minutes earlier and then will again later.

If you wanna be motivators for each other, I am down with that. I still kinda have the WW mentality. I will go to eat something and say, wow thats 8 points or something like that not even knowing what the calories were. I love to cook new recipes and josh is trying to learn so we help eachother. I dont buy junk food or candy. I bake once and a while, but give a lot of it away so we don’t eat it!

i wish i had some advice for you. i have to so much too lose and that alone is so discouraging. although you’d think it would be my motivator. it’s hard work, gets easy to give on fast. definitely try to love your body as it is. i think that makes it easier. when you aren’t verbally abusing yourself you don’t feel the pressure. you don’t feel like you have to neglect yourself then, cuz you

know we all want what we can’t have. so i don’t know, my approach right now is not abusing myself and knowing if i just make a few changes it’ll come off in time. i didn’t put it on over night, it’s not gunna come off over night. for excersise i like walking or tae bo. love tae bo lol makes me feel bad ass. i LOVE that table set. like enough to copy you. =)

love the patio set. it’s adorable. i’m horrible with sticking with WW, too. but, this weekend, i saw a tv show with a really really obese elderly woman who actually had MOLD growing between her fat rolls… i do NOT want to end up like that. the rest of the weekend every time i thought about ordering pizza i thought about the mold. stopped me cold.

We had an elmo one given to us a few yrs ago for Kaleigh’s 2nd b-day and last yr it fell apart (not the chairs just the umbrella) but we got a few summers out of it and it was super cute! =o)

I feel like I could have written this entry myself. I can’t seem to find the motivation to get back on it and I am so mad at myself for gaining anything back as it is. Good luck! Love the table, so cute.

My motivation is my husband coming home on leave in just a few months! I want to look my best, even though he’ll still think I look wonderful after not seeing me for 9 months. I love running. But I know too many people who absolutely hate it. I have started to enjoy some of the cardio/spinning classes at the gym too.
