Lose 10 pounds

i have been trying to lose weight since the beginning of summer and i keep failing, mostly bc of my PMDD food cravings, but also bc ive just been depressed :/

i am 140 pounds 5’ 6 (and a half!! :]) id love to be 130 again. this is not a vanity issue, i dont care about that shi* anymore. i used to be obsessed with image and being skinny and beautiful…i hate that obsession and i never want to go back.

but thats the problem.

the reason id always lose weight before was bc i WAS obsessed. the obsession helped me keep going. now, none of my clothes comfortrably fit and i DONT want to buy a new wardrobe so i just need to lose ten pounds to be healthier. also, i gain weight mostly in my chest and my stomach. ew about my stomach it FEELS so uncomfortrable.

so…PLEASE SUPPORT MEEE

im going to try and post atleast once a week…i hope i can do this, what with my apathy about being “perfect”

i had lost 10 pounds i wanted off. now ive gained it back. i really want to get it off! however, some days im just apathetic about it…how can i keep myself motivated? this is not bc i want to be thin, its bc i want my jeans to fit better, they are really tight…i am 140 lbs 5’ 7”...id love to be 130 in the morning.

on my diet…after 5 months of putting it off and eating junk food non stop….i weigh 134 but id like to be 125…i just feel more comfortrable at that weight…even 128 is better for me.

so…the past two days i had NO JUNK whatsoever…fruits, veggies, protein, oatmeal etc

today i continued eating healthy but had a serious craving for junk…i allowed myself one candy bar…it was a reeses whipps…240 cals and 9 g of fat! WORTH IT…haha im gonna workout at the gym after work…

also…ive noticed that i talk too much about losing weight, feeling fat, eating e.t.c….and im sure it annoys people…i want to stop talking about it and just DO IT. it sucks bc food and weight are constantly on my mind :/

=] i hope everyone has a productive day!!

i hate when im PMS-y bc its like I NEED CHOCOLATE GET OUT OF MY WAY. so ya ill consume a few hundred extra cals this time but its ok ill step up my workouts =]

just wanted to vent!!

that this works for me:

i make myself get up early to workout. At first it is sooo hard but I do a 20 minute warm up of walking and then 10 mins hard on the eliptical, then weights for 15 mins then 10 mins of running. I feel AMAZING when im done and im more motivated to eat healthy the rest of the day! I generally eat small bfasts and lunches and then a reg sized dinner bc that works better for me =]

we’ll see how this goes!!

Day 2…..

ok so…i am 5’ 6 1/2” and i weigh around 135 but my weight fluctuates 5 pounds either way. and i really wanna be an actress….im moving to LA mid may…should i try and lose weight before i go?? like if i wasnt in the acting business i wouldnt worry about it bc im healthy. but what do yall think?

I have been on zoloft for 8 months. After being on it for four months I was a little heavier than I had ever been and now I keep slowly creeping up on the scale. It is harder and harder for me to lose weight!!!!! Could this be a side effect of zoloft? If so, I WANT OFF IT!!!! its counter productive because gaining weight makes me depressed.

if you cut out sugar completely from your diet (the sugar busters diet) you can lose weight and still eat a lot of food!! its great i lost 2 pounds without even trying to eat less.

i have lost the weight (ookkayy 1 or 2 pounds off..but i dont wanna be thinner) and now im going to tone up my body bc its um..well..not so tight! so cardio 4 times a week and strength training 3 times!! IM GOING TO DO THIS! also, crunches every night before bed. hopefully ill get a jessica alba body by mid july! hahahaha…

so i am 2 pounds away from losing ten pounds. however, tonight i was out with friends and they all told me i looked skinny and one friend went as far to say i looked emaciated, fragile, and malnurished. ok, first of all im 5’6” 126 pounds and i am a petite person…so im not that thin. my legs are really skinny though and my stomach is where i gain weight. its hard for me to gain lean muscle and my body is really jiggly. it makes me depressed bc i cant just diet and look good. i need to do more. i dont know what to do. what can i do to actually have a good body? or am i just genetically doomed and should accept my unproportional, untoned, gross body??? helpp!
