Lose 11 pounds

if it only takes an average of 2 weeks I could have done this many times over…but alas i have not so now i must change some behavioursto make this happen.

If you have ever been overweight before in your life then you know first hand how tiring it is. You feel like you’ll never be good enough, fast enough, strong enough, pretty enough. it’s a steep slope to conquer your going to want to cheat your going to want to cheat yourself. but if you stay strong stay above your fears. you’ll be reborn. not only physically but emotionally. just make sure to never give up on yourself because no matter what they tell you, you are beautiful. and you deserve to see yourself that way.

I spent 8 years out of my 16 on this earth over weight, I got picked on. ALOT . one day I just decided enough was enough. I lost that weight, dont get me wrong it took me a couple of years, but along with that weight I lost that depressed girl who the kids on the buss used to moo at. I lost 80 pounds and Ive kept it off. If I can do it anyone can. dont get caught up in the technicalities and give it all you got :]

I haven’t lost a single pound and I have never been more beautiful.

after trying to diet during my studies.. i gave up… then strated working and the pounds melted away!! so it was all just about occupying myself!

I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem so important to me to lose 11 lbs anymore. I’ve started to feel better about my body and although I know that there was a time when I was skinnier I feel way fitter and better in general now. I sort of look at my body in a different way. Of course I am still not 100% satisfied (will I ever be?), but I don’t think that losing 11 lbs is the way to happiness.

So here is the plan: I’ll keep this goal on my list until I come back from my beach holiday and if I am only a few pounds short of those 11 lbs I will try and reach this goal. If not, sod it!

Basically, I just wanna get rid of that belly and and tone down my thighs a bit. I think losing a pound a week is a realistic goal. I don’t wanna spend the summer working out non-stop, but with a little bit of jogging, swimming, yoga and light and healthy meals, I’m quite positive I’ll be able to achieve this goal until 12 October. :)

As in:
I’ve suddenly got SO MANY THINGS to look forward to, so I can start over with fresh enthusiasm all the time, bearing in mind the new event coming soon. Like today I’ve put down a lot of cookies saying I’ll be on a diet ‘cause I want to look good at Beats from the Vault which is on Friday. And on Friday I’m gonna decide to be on a diet for Sunday’s Theatre party. Let’s see how this one works :)

i have 4 days left and 8 lbs to go, not gonna happen, at least i lost a bit of weight, and i’m especially happy i didnt regain… will start again tommorrow with new goal

Some weird way the need to lose 22 pounds has shrinked to a need to lose 11 pounds. :)

I am now certain that I’m going the right way. I’m losing weight very slow, but it doesn’t even piss me off that it’s not going down quick. Just amazingly I have overcome all the emotional/boredom eating. And when I do eat out of boredom it’s not more than a slice of cheese or peas (dude, that rhymes :D).

And I’ve reduced my portion sizes. I used to take a huge amount of salad and a smaller portion of potatoes and meat and sauce and then stuff myself up from salad and afterwards wonder why I was feeling so sick. Now I understand it came from the fact that I ate at least twice as much as my stomach could handle thinking it doesn’t matter ‘cause it’s salad.

So now I’ve put the bigger amounts of food in the morning and around lunchtime and have smaller snacks in the evening and it works because I’m mostly working or training in the evening. :)

About 15 more pounds to go.
