weight

Jan. 30th, 2009 at 6:21 PM

I was at the doctor yesterday. It looks like i put on a few pounds this winter. How does it happen so fast? I was doing so well. The fact that there is a McDonals across the street from my program has been a definate challenge. There is also a Panara there/ I should at least eat at Panara more often than McDonalds and really i should bring a lunch but hmmm.....

And right now i'm really craving something sweet. Oh well. I'll ignore it. I can't be a slave to my tastebuds or else i'll keep getting fatter. bleh.... i wonder if i'll ever be skinny again. i haven't been skinny in 15 years. i wonder if it's even possible. I DID lose lke 70 pounds in the past few years, but not nearly enough. My weight makes me angry at myself as well as a little bit at the medications i was on when i gained all the weight.... but all i can really do is try to do better now.

If you're craving sweets, try chewing on a stick of sweet gum. Or get a small dessert and only eat the first 4 bites. I've only tried the first suggestion (it works). The second suggestion came from a magazine.

yeah, from friends i also heard some meds make it hard to loseweight. that sucks, but try not to get tooo angry at yourself. taking things one day or one choice at a time sounds like a good idea, as you mentioned. hugs

i wonder if i'll ever be skinny again

last time i was skinny was due to an addiction...i have since learned to accept me for who i am. if i've lost weight - it's because i didn't do drugs...
but that's just me. i need to walk more and be more physical.

do you walk or do any type of exercise? i'm really shitty at following a regime.

i do jumping jacks and dance.... i take walks, but right now the ground is covered in ice and is really shitty walking conditions. i get sore very easily. my back was damaged over the summer. i try to excersize a little bit every day though. i'm not where i should be with it, but i excersaize way more than i did for years.... those being the years i gained almost 200 pounds... i've lost weight since i've been excersizing. but i could realistically be doing a lot better.
it's hard when weight goes hand in hand with addiction like that.
anyway, i don't think i'll be skinny any time soon, but i definately want to try harder

yeah, like you - skinny is not good, but being in better shape is a goal.
