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...

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...
