I'm tired of being fat!

Apr 22, 2010 21:53


I'm on my 11th day of this journey folks and I really want to do it this time! I spent half of my 20's (not to mention my life) fat or just generally unhappy with my body. No fucking more!

The kicker came when I went to my 4 year olds first T-ball outing and guess what folks.... I'M THE FAT MOM! It's awful and I don't want to feel this way anymore ( Read more... )

I probably don't have the best advice since I'm still trying to get rid of the baby fat from Ava....
for me, not doing the diet gimicks works the best. And give yourself time, like at least a year. I'm not sure if you are breastfeeding but that will keep extra on you as well. I found walking with a baby was the easiest and replacing one meal a day with a salad, with a healthy dressing. Lots of veggies and fruit.
I notice as well that being bloated can make you feel worse. So drink a ton of water, skip all soda (makes you bloated) eat lots of yogurt to get the digestive track functioning.....pregnancy can wreak havic! big time. I've started even taking metamucial (sp) in the morning, lots of fiber and I'm doing the special k thing right now, cutting calories without really thinking about it so much....and 60 minutes of exercise daily.
Don't deprive yourself because you will binge....its the worst thing you can do, so allow yourself a special treat daily or like one day a week eat what you want....like for me its dark chocolate, hardly any fat and its good for you as well.
Hang in there Zaggy! You are beautiful and it will happen, sometimes just posting and talking about is motivation in it self :D

I only gained 20 pounds with Aine and lost all of that but I'm still holding on to 40 pounds from Liam. I am breastfeeding and starting slow. I WILL NOT give up my morning coffee nd trying to do 30 mins a day. I'm going from no excercise to everyday excerise... And I'm still doing housework and chasing around kids. I don't want to burn myself out. I bought some yoplait fat free yogurt and am having that for breakfast. Special K is a great idea. Thanks for responding. Talking about it helps keep me on track!

I'm also drinking nothing but water (cept my coffee). Too many valuable calories otherwise. Haha
