One day this dress will fit me....

Saturday, March 30, 2013

Hallo!

So today was an interesting day. I went through my old closet and decided to throw away all old clothes that I havenīt been wearing for more than one year and that donīt fit me anymore. And of course I stumbled over these clothes, that I kept for the day I might fit into them.
Guess what: This day has come! So I tried them on and I realized one thing. Although I fit into them right now, they still donīt look good on me. So, they are just the wrong clothes. So, if I will ever gain my old weight back, I will not buy these clothes that I might ever fit into them.

    good for you- I want to clean out my clothes too- I know I bought things because they were good bargains but they never fit me and if they did they weren't really my style. emoticon

Fear

Saturday, February 16, 2013

Hello fellow Sparkpeople!
I have a confession to make. I am worried almost all the time. I am worried to fail in my exams, I am worried of moving to a new city, I am worried of being alone and most of all I am worried to never lose my weight.
I have been on a plateau for a few months now. Ok, honestly, this is what I wanted. I planed not to lose 20kg at once, but to do it step by step.
However since January, I have not lost a single pound and that annoys me and -quelle surprise- I am worried of never being thin.
I have the feeling that I donīt want to lose the last pounds, because I am afraid of never liking me. I thought I liked my new body and my new shape, but when I went to the beach last weekend I still felt extremly fat. A friend even said to me: Isnīt it annoying that you lost so much weight, but you are still not thin!
Wow, that was the meanest thing I could imagine. I guess it has also to do with my body type. I lose weight at my legs and sadly not at my tummy. So I guess in a bathing suite I still donīt look thin....but I can buy clothes in every store now.
So...argh, I guess I am just angry at this friend. What a mean thing to say!
And yeah, I am really afraid of never liking me. Now, when I compare myself to other thinner women, I realize that I am a normal shape, but they are still not happy.
So will I ever be happy with my big body?
Urgh so confused.

    Way i deal with things i am worried about, write them as a list, make them as obstacles and make steps to over come them, some may take a day, some may take a week, some even a month, it isn't easy at first but you will get through it. emoticon emoticon

cliché

Wednesday, January 02, 2013

So this is a blog entry devoting itself to the cliché of a new year being the time for new beginnings.
Last year was amazing. I lost almost 15 kg and I have been able to keep them of for the entire year! That would be the first time that I was able to maintain weight, that I have lost. Why? Because I knew, that I should stick to my diet and workout routine, even after I lost the first 10kg. I am very proud that I did not fall of the wagon and even when I did not eat properly and gained two kg back, I did not despair, thought about all the changes I had already done and went back to my current weight. Actually the fact, that I did not give up, was one of the biggest accomplishment this year.
I have started with Spark teams in 2011. Spark really helped me to exercise and then in 2012 I successfully started a new diet and successfully changed my eating habits.
So this year (and here comes the cliché) I want to lose the last 8kg and I will have a healthy weight for the first time of my life! So now, I just may not lose faith in myself, I want to be prepared when I am invited for cookies, pizza etc., I want to exercise regularly and I want to finally not to be afraid to be a normal weight girl. Yes, I admit, for a person that has always been the overweight one, it is a thrilling thought to be thin and not to be the fat girl.
In fact I am very pleased that I took my time for all these changes. Now I just want to reach the finish line!
I hope we will all reach some of our goals this year!

Eating hangover

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

Hi,

this is a blog that should me remind me on my old mistakes. The reason why I could never lose weight and keep the weight off is because of two reasons: First I might have hit an plateau, although I did everything right and second I was satisfied with my weightloss and just went back to my old habits. This time I am a bit better, I am at a plateau, but I havenīt gained anything yet.
However these old habits are still in me. I was sick for a few weeks now (nothing major just a cold that sticked) and now I have digestif problems. So I had to go on a special diet. At first it worked, my problems really got better, but than I plateaued. So last night I thought: I will just eat what I want! And I ate sweets and chips and everything I shouldnīt eat.
I am not afraid of gaining my weight back, but surely I havenīt improved my health. I am so angry at myself right now.
And I didnīt even reallize my mistake until I read this article:
http://www.dailyspark.com/blog.asp?post=
8_reasons_why_youre_not_losing_weight

It opened my eyes. I really have to learn to be patient sometimes. Argh... it is so hard at times.

    Remember that this is not a diet but a life changing exercise.

Meaning you don't stop when you hit your goal weight. You can then average thing out so as not to gain weight..

Good luck

Inner changes

Wednesday, July 04, 2012

So this week has been interesting. Last weekend I visited my parents house. It was the first time in months that I went there without my boyfriend and I knew it would be very exhausting for me without him.
So I stayed at my parents house for a two days. I usually know that I tend to overeat at my parents house. Not because they are such great cooks or anything, but because I feel such a pressure when I am there, that I donÂīt know any other help than stuff myself. It was the first time in months that I wanted to stuff myself with noodles. I am not talking about just eating noodles, no, I mean eating so many noodles until your stomach hurts. However hehe, instead of giving in that craving, I just decided to eat something small and spicy. It was weird and a bit sad to notice that the Harisa sauce satisfied my wish for noodles. It is sad, that I have the inner tendency to hurt myself when I am at my parents house. I think the burn of the spicy sauce satisfied that need for pain. I am however very proud to solve the symptom by eating the spice. That will be my strategy until I really find out, why i want to hurt myself when I am at my parents house...
Another thing happened yesterday. I had a huge problem at the university that really threatened my future career. I was very upset. However instead of stuffing myself with food to feel better (not to hurt that time), I lay down in bed, watched a bit crappy TV and then got up again and started to think about how to solve my problem. My boyfriend even suggested that I should buy some alcohol to get over that very difficult afternoon. But I decided that I had done so many bad things to my health simply by being overweight, that alcohol or any other drug, should not be the next best solution in a crisis. Watching TV helped me to collect myself, than I went to a party ( ok there I drank alcohol) and today I went shopping and bought my first shorts in years. I am so so glad, that my coping mechanism get better and better. Instead of being angry at myself and eating (and than feel even worse), I accepted my mistake, was sad for a bit and than decided to accept the challenge that is facing me right now. I remembered how I trained for a 5 k and how amazed I still am that I can run it. I didnÂīt get there by sitting at home and wishing, but also not by destroying myself, but by constant slow and patient effort.
I watched The Biggest Loser last year and I always wondered why those people say that they especially changed in the inside (it is reality TV, so I still donÂīt believe them). But in my case, since I took my time, it really happened. I am amazed and I hope that I can keep up this thinking.
