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...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
