I Love This Woman

[Msterbeau]

I'm not fat I'm pleasantly plump.

Kidding aside. I need to lose 20 pounds. I took a year off doing much exercise after my surgery last year. I've been feeling like a lump for a while now but I every time I worked out I felt pain and didn't want to overdo iit. And now I don't have a bike since it got stolen just before I moved. Time to start walking and stuff...

but it's hard when you hear people yell "fat ass!" at you out their car windows, or you walk past people and you can hear them saying hurtful things about you.

I am very thank full for all the supportive people around me. If it weren't for them, I probably would have given up already.

people will ALWAYS be like that. my freshman year in h.s. i was in a band program where i was living on gallons of water and protine bars. i got down to 115 (very very bad and unhealthy for a 5'9 girl to be) point beeing i was skinny as fuck and i still had ass holes yelling shit at me about beeing anorexic, about how i had implants, blah blah blah. point beeing it doesnt matter how you look, act, or present yourself, there will always be insecure people yelling out shit at you to make you feel that much worse so that they can feel better about themselves. make yourself happy, bc you will never please everyone all the time.

I can't stand myself as it is. To have to go on 6 more years being fat, honestly, I'd rather be dead.

one of the things that really helped me to be patient with myself was when someone put it to me this way... "how long did it take you to gain all that weight? why would you expect to lose it any quicker!?"

it's possible to lose up to 8lbs a month, safely, but there might be something you're not thinking of - muscle weighs more than fat does, so if you're adding muscle your weight might not change, even though your measurements and body fat % are!!

there's another option that someone mentioned to me - use the formula to calculate how much you would need to mainain the weight you want to be at, and then eat that much until you get there...

something else i want to throw out there... macro-nutrient ratios - that's % of calories between protien, carbs & fat - one common ratio recommended is to get 40% of calories from protein, and 30% each from carbs & fat (mostly poly- & mono-unsaturated) the only way your body can build and/or keep muscle is with protein, and if you're not getting enough, you will lose muscle & lower your metabolism, etc...

i know it's a lot to get your mind around, but it's sooo worth it in the long run! i'm just starting the whole gym/exercise/6-meals-a-day diet thing this monday, so we'll see just how effective it actually is!!

TA knows his stuff, can I get a what-what?

[Gauge]

lol ahhh sorry dont kill me. its the first thing that came to mind

[BrassFusion]

I can't get you, BF. You're miss outspoken but you've got a strong TMI streak.

Buck up! That song was hilarious!

TA-my head is hurting. Bean was like oh yeah, oh yeah, I know all about what he's talking about.

I think the amt one is overwhelmed by all this is equal to the amt of dedication one has to a certain goal at the time.

I'm just going to eat a litlle less exercise a little more and accept that I'll always be about 10-15 lbs away from happiness. :cheerful

Mmkay, so I finally got to watch the video. From some people's responses, I was expecting to see some 400 pound jiggly blob wearing a tube top and spandex pants, eating Crisco right from the can. What I actually saw was an overweight woman (who would look better if she lost about 40 pounds) basically trying to tell people to quit being douche bags and not treat people like shit because of what they look like.

God, I know. He always complains that he's fat, and it drives me insane. Every time he says it, I say "bitch, you're not fat, I am fat." He also thinks he's ugly and so many people last night told me he was hot. I tell him all the time he's sexy, but wtf do I know? *shrugs* oh well, what can you do.
