I should have seen this coming

First the downward spiral, and now ca-Plunk. Here I am feeling shitty and despising myself.

I went for a power walk this morning and even jogged some of it, granted not in long intervals, but still it was my first jog since the surgery. And what was the motivation? Hate. Spite. Really being angry at myself for gaining weight.

I hopped on the scale when I woke up. I guess what I really wanted to do was feel bad today. There is not other explanation.

I wanted the walk to make me feel better. I wanted atonement for my sins. But it hasn't worked. It is like the endorphins missed me entirely.

I know that I have the rest of the week to go and that soon I will be out of the funk and feeling good again, but damn it this mood really sucks.

My mother in law commented yesterday on my weight loss, but it was what she said that really got me down. She mentioned my boobs are disappearing. Great! That was what I was obsessing about all morning, how small my boobs are getting and how my stupid fat ass and thighs are going nowhere.

Mr. ralph and I actually did a good thing by walking to her house yesterday. It is a gorgeous, but long walk. For more than half of it we get to walk through Linear Park and it is absolutely breathtaking with all the wildlife. We have some nice pictures of baby ducklings to show, but I have to transfer them still.

So I walked for an hour and a half and should have felt wonderful. But then I ate a slice of lemon meringue pie after dinner. It doesn't matter how many times I ask my mum-in-law to not serve dessert, she still does it 9 times out of 10. I do not get it.

Plus there's this pic mr. ralph took of me after I walked up a steep hill and all I can see is how wide my thighs and hips are. Track suit/exercise pants do nothing for me. I hate that picture. I don't know if I will show you or not, because trust me you will agree with me on this one.

I'm about to eat a small breakfast and try to feel better about the day. I don't want to be in a bad mood all damn day because who knows what temptation will befall me?

girl, i hear ya. i'm knee deep in self loathing right now too and it sucks big time. i never thought i would feel this way again but here i am and damn i hate it.

it's not serious. it'll pass.

i just ate a small bag of doritos and a chocolate bar. how gross is that? you know what's worse? worse than that? i want to eat something else. yuh. gross.

i'm sick of winter.

look, sometimes you feel like shit, sometimes you don't. no big deal. i mean it is a big deal because feeling like shit feels like shit but ehre's what you and i both need to remember: it is not going to last forever and we are not ruining everything while we feel like shit.

i'm retaining about 10 pounds of water and have been for about 6 weeks. i don't know why and it won't go away and it's pissing me OFF. i am grumpy and sick of it.

let's be grumps then and to heck with it all.

what else can i eat?
Okayyyyyyyyy. So since I hadn't been here before, I went and looked at your pics. Saw the new hair cut. Saw the kissy pictures with some guy (I'll just assume he hangs around your place a lot). And you know, something just tells me this was one of those days and that tomorrow will be better and you'll ultimately do just FINE and get EXACTLY where you want to be.

You look great. Don't believe me? Ask that guy you were getting all kissy face with. I'll be he'll tell you the same thing.

Oh, but don't ask the cat. Cat's don't have a DAMN bit of tact. ;)

Ok. I think that telling you that this mood will go away soon might be silly, but hey, it will go away soon, trust me!!!

Now, telling you another tip for thighs and hips might be more cheerful I think ;o)

I used this last summer and had good results, and the tip was given to me from a woman who has done her extensive marketing research by trying them all, from Christian Dior's to Sisheido, and concluded that this one is as good as the very expensive ones, and oh so logically priced.

L'Oreal Body Expertise Series. The PerfectSlim gel (day and night ones) are very good products that smoothen the cellulite, and steal at least 2 cm of your hips in a month! And they cost something like 14 euros (about 12.8 american dollars) so they are totally affordable!!!

Chin up me lady, you have conquered too much and don't you forget this!!!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
