usetoschool Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Me too. I lost quite a bit but then just got so tired of thinking about food and counting calories and planning exercise and weighing food all the time that I just quit. I haven't gained any weight back, fortunately, but after 3 months I think I am finally starting to get in the mood again and able to tolerate being so focused on what I eat and do. I guess I learned a few things and made a few permanent changes because I haven't gained but it takes a certain mind set to be able to focus, focus, focus. And it is tedious and tiring.

SeekingHim77 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Me too! I totally blew it last night and ate 4 pieces of pizza-they were small but still. I'm not doing so hot tonight either. Right now I'm trying to convince myself not to back for another piece of my florentine chicken ring...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeekingHim77 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well, I had another piece.........and I had some blueberry cobbler. I'd better get back on track starting now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 I made tacos for dinner tonight with Spanish rice. Yum, yum! I didn't make queso dip, so that helps, but it's still not the best choice. I've been doing a bunch of one step forward, two steps back. Sigh... I think if I wasn't trying to be supportive of my sister, who has a lot more weight to lose than I do, I would have quit by now. It's good that I haven't, but I need to get motivated to actually follow the program!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandellie4 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Me too! I'm tired of having to be sooo conscious about everything I eat. It's like counting the number of breaths I take a day. It's so tedious and, yeah, my body looks better and I feel better -- but better still would be chocolate cake!!!! Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertmum Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I was feeling exactly like this, really angry and above all, hungry. I had an epiphany the day before last. I have been on the Cambridge diet and yes, I've lost about 6 pounds. But I've been miserable. Then I rang my mother. My mother is not very tolerant of people with weight issues so every time we speak she "grills" over how much I weight, saying I look like a cow, blahh, blah, blah. I expected a similar tone of conversation this time, but no. She was very kind and asked me to remember the things I use to do when I was thinner. How we used to joke with other people about what a famous Mexican actress once said on the telly about keeping slim by following the TLM diet. When questioned further the actress winked and replied "Traga La Mitad" (Swallow only half-of food that is!).:D Then mum went on to talk how I used to walk everywhere. "All you have to do is follow the same recipe you used to give to others and you will be back to your previous weight without crazy dieting!" mum said. I felt comforted by this.:Angel_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 MEEE TOOO!!!! I lost 80 lbs and have 42 left. SIGH. I am looking at another years worth of busting my butt. Sick of counting calories, sick of worrying about food and planning food and not eating and working out.................. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna A. Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Right there with y'all. It was a very sobering day the day I realized I will never be able to NOT diet. What I mean is, even if I (ever) lose the weight I want to get rid of, I'll have to continue the planning and prepping and watchfulness, and forcing myself to exercise when I don't want to, just to KEEP the weight off. :glare: It was so much easier to lose and maintain when exercise was part of my lifestyle. As a pp said, I used to walk a LOT. When I lived in the Chicago area and worked downtown, I walked *everywhere*. And since hubby and I didn't have a car when we first married, I walked 2 miles (one way) to the train station Every.Single.Day for MONTHS, except when the weather was too bad to do so, or I was running late and had to catch the bus. But then I'd walk several miles more when I got off the train at the other end, plus the workout at the fitness center where dh and I met after work 3x a week. Of course, that was all before kids, so quite different circumstances. Growing up I lived on a farm, so plenty of natural exercise there, too. I miss all that. I DESPISE having to get on a stupid treadmill or listen to some voice barking orders on the TV. It all just feels so "fake". :bored: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to make choices. I want it all!! :tongue_smilie: Edited September 21, 2011 by Rhonda in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I suck at dieting. Seriously. I like food. :glare: :confused: Me too. :glare: I realize that I'll have to be on some kind of a diet for the rest of life, except when on vacation. Seriously. Whenever I relax and let go, all hell breaks loose. :glare: I love, love, love food ... :tongue_smilie: I also love to exercise and could do it for hours at a time, but once you reach my age, eating all you want AND working out just doesn't cut it anymore.

Blueridge Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 :grouphug: BTDT. I had to finally accept the fact that I *have* to exercise, so I found something I love and I do it every morning. This is after a lifetime of hating to workout. I also had to accept the fact that my body cannot tolerate too many simple carbs, so I still cook the things I love, I just have to eat smaller carb portions. Never do without the things you love, just eat less of them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
