shrinking

[afoundobject]

i'm shrinking. my pants are all baggy and my tops look tentish. today, like every day for the past few weeks, i woke up and had to decide which shirt was the least noticably big, which pants can still sit on me high enough as not to expose my tinkerbell underpants

You smaller, me bigger...watch out..we are about to be morphed into one person. Oh crap.. we will be 1/2 liberal, 1/2 conservative and 100% fucked up. Oh well.

Whatcha gonna do with all the junk..all that junk inside your trunk. Whatever. :) What can we do to piss off Mom now......hmmmmmm, tell her I am poor?

When you figure out a way to get around this diet/sugar problem thing, we gotta celebrate with a couple o' gallons of HagenDas......

Don't worry

When I first found out I had IBS I lost all kinds of weight - you know all that sugar weight from soda, iced tea, candy, etc. But it isn't that bad. What happens is that you find ways to get around your restrictions. Take me for example: before when I wanted dessert I would have a candy bar or some Hershey kisses, now I eat a dozen doughnuts!

The worst thing for me is when I get sick, I lose all kinds of weight. Cause I don't want to eat but I still have to eat to keep to my schedule so I eat less and then my body gets used to that so when I get better I still have to eat less then I usually would or I get sick (stomach sick not sick sick).

You'll find your balance.

PS You are like the reverse of a teenage boy: you have baggy pants and tentish shirts while they have baggy shirts and tents in their pants. :)

yeah i have that too and i totally just bulk up with fiber pills whcih doesnt always work and unfortunatly i tend to overinulge in the things that set it off like coffee or alchohol..and then well you know.

Re: Don't worry

[veins_of_ink]

Yeah the worst is when I have been good and I feel it is time to treat myself and I have some chocolate or alcohol and then I don't feel bad that I think I can have more so I have too much and feel like crap for two days. Yeah it sucks.

Re: Don't worry

[taragram]

definatly not shits and giggles or, uh well...hey you gotta make lite of it sometimes!

[pemberleya]

that's all interesting and whatever, but how do you feel? you're meditating and yoga-ing and bellydancing and all this cool active stuff and now you're on a diet that's good for you. do you feel healthy and good?

you won't continue to shrink forever. you won't be a husk. you'll be you, but smaller! like, frozen orange juice concentrate! ounce for ounce, even tastier than before!and you'll keep your curves. you'll just be smaller. the shape that your body is isn't going to change.

[taragram]

Juicy!

[afoundobject]

yeah i have to admit that i do feel great. the no sugar diet people are definitely right- cutting out sugar and additives/"bad" carbs does make your whole body feel great.

i'm definitely sleeping better and feeling less exhausted all of the time. i just get really frustrated at not being able to eat whatever i want. i love food.

WHAAHHHAAAAA

*laughing so hard at that concentrate joke*

A friend of mine (keryx) has gone through the same thing - she is a dancer who is training and dancing more and more, which is causing her to lose weight and tone up. She is also a fat activist, and is finding it hard to resolve her body as it is now (and is changing) with her self identity. Here is what I commented to her:

Hmm. Well, as far as people making a big deal and bringing up something that is none of their business . . . yes, that stinks.

But, well, this may be an internal battle you have to pick. All the dancing, the moving, the exercising - it will change your body. Your dance entries really resonate with a sense of joy. When you're thinking about the physical changes, think about the joy that has brought them. Would you trade that? Don't not get angry, but also don't get stuck in your identity. We are the sum of all we have been and currently are (and will be); you're not losing what you are, it's just changing.

wow. thanks amy. that really hit me in a positive way.

i think i just have to focus on being less attached to the "me" that i'm used to... i mean, i know i'm doing so many things now that i love and my being more active is helping me be happier...

and i can't lose site of joy. but sometimes i really miss ice cream.

[kazoogrrl]

Mmm, ice cream.

And admit it, you're dead sexy no matter what your size - you're stuck with that!

[afoundobject]

whew! miss scarlet i do believe i am gettin tha vapors!

hehe! thanks girl, right back atcha...

you're so hot even TIM dreams about you. (oh and Dingo too)
