It seems...

If today is an indication, it seems that I am have hit a bloody wall with my weight loss. A plateau?? I didn't think this was possible on the Wendie Plan??

Some say that your body can reach it's natural weight and from there it doesn't want to budge.

All I can say is I am not happy. I am actually feeling really angry. This week I've exercised 5 times and although I haven't been super diligent with my points, I haven't lost the plot entirely. For the most part I'm within the 18-20 point range on the Wendie Plan.

I'm working on getting myself together. I know I can't let this stop me, but it is seriously pissing me right off.

I thank you for all your support, I hope that my negative attitude doesn't rub off on all of you.

It's ok to have cranky diet days. It can be discouraging, but you've come so far. Hang in there!

You know, it happens. It doesn't mean it's forever-- and, in the end, it's not what's important.

Look what you're doing. Look what you've built! You've become somebody who can eat healthily and exercise five times in a week. YOU ARE THAT WOMAN. There are women everywhere who are currently floundering around, trying so hard to get started on this weight-loss journey, who envy you your diligence, who wonder at your dedication and success.

You did this. You. Just you. Look how strong you are-- look at that rage! If that fat could be encapsulated in another person for ten minutes, I could just see you tackling it and beating it to death with your bare hands.

Like gasoline, anger can be used to fuel propulsion or it can be used to blow stuff up. It takes a special kind of pissed-off motivation to keep doing this thing day after day after day. You've got that in spades. That's why you're going to make it.

You know your body really feels it when you are angry at it and it acts up. Be nice to this gorgeous body that has been always there for you, and you will see the difference!!!

I know.

I rolled my eyes too the first time I was told so, but I can tell you, it is true!!!

If I've learned anything on this journey so far, it's that your body will get used to whatever you're doing and adjust accordingly.

I found that the Wendie plan can be a good plateau-buster for a few weeks - but once you've done it for a while your body adjusts and it becomes 'normal', so it doesn't have the same effect any more.

I've found that making some sort of significant change usually gets things moving. Maybe if you stopped 'Wendie-ing' and went back to consistent points each day it would have the same plateau busting effect (change the routine), or maybe you could look at what else you could change in your eating/ exercise routine?

How about getting up at 6am with me every day and doing Taebo? heh.

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 ...
