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.

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
