okay, this is as close to a pep talk as i'll ever give. i'm only being nice cause so so so many of us are struggling right now&that kinda bums me out. anyways, a little venting first. oh sure, "big boned". bones don't jiggle, dumbass. fat people are not fun to look at most of the time. it's bad enough when they know they're fat&hate it, or even know it&accept that they're unhealthy&love their bodies anyways. but when somebody is obviously overweight&they make excuses for it? ew. at least we see room for improvement&are doing something about it. maybe we're a little extreme but most changes won't kick off with a whisper. anyhow, kudos to you for being proactive. also, i leave for colorado in 5 days.i'm really excited but also nervous...what if my sister lost more weight than i did? i doubt it, she's not that self conscious&she's pretty healthy, but what if i still look huge in comparison? fuck. maybe i'll find something that i'm not obsessive about&give my brain a chance to focus on something that doesn't matter. maybe.
&to those of you who are down, add something new to your plan. something new to focus on usually helps get me going. personally, two of my rules are 1) never ever ever get seconds, &2) never ever ever finish a whole serving. that goes for everything. you don't have to follow those. just examples. another thing that helps (if you're on the computer alot or always carry your phone) is to change your background image to our favorite thinspo. just for the day, or as long as you can get away with it. looking at someone smaller than i am always makes me just a little less hungry. besides that, you know the rest of the tips. hang in there. here are people who are skinny&happy.
thinspo:




i have a love/hate relationship with skinny competition. right now me and my cousin are kind of at war , trying to pass the other by being skinnier and she keeps winning(only she doesnt know were at war lol i just want to be skinnier than her). i mean i know that when im the skinnier one it will all be worth it but it sucks to be second so i totally get where your coming from with your sister. i hate being the "fat" one in the family when me and her stand next to each other.

"Never finish a whole serving" I'm so adding that to my plans!
ReplyDeleteNever Finishing a Whole Serving is the hardest when your boyfriend's mom is staring at the plate of her home-cooked meal and you're like, "uhhhhh, so I had a big breakfast?"
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, thanks for the tips.

I hate it when people make excuses for being the way they are... I have big bones, I am on medication, I have a slow metabolism, my family is all fat...
ReplyDeleteI did that for years, hence why I weigh as much as I do, but if people keep making excuses, they will never be able to change.
What is it they say in AA, first step is acknowledging you have a problem.
I am FAT, but not for long. :) 5 lbs so far this week! WOOT-NESS!
