Day 1 - Again!

Sunday, April 15, 2012

So I joined some co-workers in a biggest looser contest at work. We are suppose to loose weight... duh!
Well it's so hard.... I'm sure everyone on here can agree. I did pretty well until dinner when I was starving! But after I ate my meal, I went for a brisk walk and ended up doing 1.205 miles according to my pedometer.
I did go grocery shopping for some lower fat choices. Water hasn't been that hard to do today! That's good.
I just hope I don't get frustrated this time... so if anyone can offer encouragment, I'm all for it. At least tomorrow I will be with my fellow co-workers so hopefully they will help to encourage me!

When I first joined Spark People, I stopped all sugars, flour, sodas and drank lots of water (no exercise). I lost six pounds in one week. The next week, I added lots of strawberries, blueberries, bananas and celery to my diet and stayed in my calorie intake that was set by Spark People...I lost another 4 pounds (no exercise). I have lost 17 pounds in 1 in a half months by adding exercise! Slow and steady...make it a lifestyle change. Make small goals and then ease forward. Don't try and do it all at once...it can be overwhelming! Get creative with cooking healthy meals and making healthy choices...instead of having a taco with a flour tortilla...try one wrapped in lettuce. Drain the fats off all foods before adding seasoning. These little things add up and keep us from having to eat "diet" food, which makes us want to quit. Remember...no food is off limits if you stick to the nutritional guide! Practice small portions and count every calorie! You can do it! I know you can! Comment edited on: 4/15/2012 7:46:06 PM Report Inappropriate Comment

I beat Anorexia or is it still beating me?

Sunday, July 31, 2011

So I once again have come to the page hoping to change. I somehow can not get motivated. Since my first blog last October, the only consistent thing I've managed is to keep on the weight! I must get a hold of my problem. I think what really brought me back to this journey is a realization. I work with mostly men. One of the men I work with jokingly says, "I know I'm fat - I fought anorexia and won.I'm proud of my big stomach"
As I've written before - I was anorexic. I according to his philosophy - I guess I fought it! But have I really?
Anorexia is an eating disorder. Well isn't overeating? I am still continuing on this eating roller coaster. I went from one end of the spectrum to the other. I'm still battling with the food!
So for me to actually become "anorexia or eating disorder free" - I must face the challenge head on. So now it begins. My fight with overcoming the battle with food.

  

Frustration

Thursday, October 21, 2010

So I am trying to keep up with what I eat, drink my water and exercise. But it is so hard. I kind of blew it today I think. I will still track though to see how bad! The water thing is easy... gonna take a break from exercise since I did it two days in a row.
I am trying to keep motivated but it is so hard!
I MUST Keep trying!
