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?

Comments

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...

Not working

I don't know where to begin. I didn't even want to post. My instinct tells me that because I don't want to, it may be the best thing to do. I haven't weighed myself, but I've had a few very bad days. I went out on Friday night and drank an unknown amount of gin and tonics and then I ate almost a whole bag of kettle chips yesterday. I put on a pair of my size 12 jeans that should fit and are too tight last night. Damnit! I have a lot of cute clothes that I cant go anywhere near because of about 3 kilos. This 3 kilos is doing a lot to depress me right now. I stopped tracking my calories because I don't even know how much alcohol I consumed on Friday night and who wants to know how many calories and fat are in an entire bag of chips? Not only do I feel like shit, but I can't seem to motivate myself either. I know that the way I am feeling is not new and I will work through it, but right now it feels pretty much like a death sentence. It is not that I don...

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
