WEEEEEEEEEE! Some crazy weight loss fairy clearly visited me last night.<br /><br />Yesterday my parents went home, so in the morning we went out for brunch. I had "Eggs Benedict". It was deeeeeelicious. Normally I order a side of toast. Yesterday I didn't. I felt quite smug about it. Breakfast was at about 11am. Then I had a very small slice of frozen raspberry cheesecake at around 2pm. Finally, I had 2 pieces of ham and mushroom pizza. It was a relatively naughty day, but I knew it was naughty and tried to moderate HOW much of the naughties I ate...<br /><br />This morning I have drunk a PINT of water already. I feel like some zen goddess. Now I need to be careful all day, and continue that feeling through the week...<br /><br />I'm excited at the prospect of getting slim and healthy. I'm excited at the prospect of doing it with you!<br /><br />Me xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-56465451204083646492010-05-02T09:31:00.003-05:002010-05-02T09:35:56.013-05:00Woooo!Okay, I'm clearly alive. There was no tornado. False alarm!<br /><br />BUT... guess what?<br /><br />I've lost weight!!!!!! I know! What are the chances?! I've taken a few walks, done some gardening, and been a little more active. I haven't changed my eating much, but I feel inspired!!! If I change my eating, I could lose EVEN MORE WEIGHT! Shocker!!!!! Whodathunkit?!<br /><br />As of this morning, 5/2/2010, at 9:30am... I weigh...<br /><br />314.2 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK GOODNESS!<br /><br />That 320 lbs weigh in scared the living daylights out of me...<br /><br />So this week I need to think about things more. Think about what I'm putting in my mouth. Think about getting out instead of staying in. This summery weather is SUPER useful!<br /><br />I'm also going to take a photo of myself in my undies. Gross right? Well, don't worry, it's not for public consumption! It's just so I can see for myself how I'm doing on my weight loss journey. It's a journey that I've taken a few wrong turns on, but now I own a GPS... so I can't go wrong... right?!<br /><br />KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!<br /><br />Me xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-75645846570250339032010-04-30T13:00:00.002-05:002010-04-30T13:06:55.682-05:00It's been ten days......since my last blog.<br /><br />I haven't been particularly good, but then I haven't been particularly bad. I've eaten mostly at home, but haven't paid much attention to what food I'm putting in my mouth.<br /><br />Until my parents have gone home, I'm remaining in "non-diet" mode. I don't know why, but I HATE people knowing I'm dieting. I feel like they judge me. But then, I am fairly sure people judge me for eating.<br /><br />I know I judge other fat people for eating...<br /><br />Gross.<br /><br />So I'm waiting. I shouldn't. I know I shouldn't. But it's convenient to wait. My 'rents are still here and I have a couple of weeks of exams ahead... I'll start dieting soon, I promise.<br /><br />Is there a free rent-a-Jillian? You know, Jillian Michaels from Biggest Loser. I need someone to come and kick my rear-end in to gear. She wouldn't take my bullcrap. She'd make me exercise...<br /><br />Uh oh... tornado warning... off to the basement.

I haven't uttered a swear word for at least 30 seconds! Brilliant! I'm on a roll.<br /><br />I'm thinking swear words though, and lots of them...<br /><br />My parents are here, visiting from the motherland. I've been having a fantastic time. We've been hiking, home-improvementing, exploring, etc. We've been having home-cooked food, and the odd treat. It's been lovely!<br /><br />Until this morning.<br /><br />When I weighed myself.<br /><br />!#$&*(^*&#* %^((($&%^(^&* *&&*&#^^#@^ ^!((@ !*&^&^*%()^&^&^&%*%$$$<br /><br />Really? Whose frickin' joke was THAT number on the scale? What is this? Candid Camera? Where are you, you giant kidding beasts of hilarity that call yourselves cameramen?<br /><br />No?<br /><br />None?<br /><br />So this is really it?<br /><br />I actually weigh 320 lbs?<br /><br />Well flip. Or some other much stronger swear word.<br /><br />I'm thinking weight watchers. I'm thinking structure. I'm thinking I know I gained weight on WW before, but maybe it's "3rd time's the charm"...<br /><br />I'm fat.<br /><br />Love, me xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-49385641014769553352010-03-16T13:13:00.003-05:002010-03-16T13:23:13.501-05:00New Leaf?I knew when I started this blog that it would be tough to lose weight. I hoped that writing a blog would provide me with some accountability. I know it still does, I just need to get back to it.<br /><br />This past weekend, I tried out for The Biggest Loser TV show, in Nashville, TN. It was a great experience and I met lots of fabulous people. In short, it was inspiring.<br /><br />Hearing other people's weight-gain stories, meeting previous Biggest Loser contestants and seeing how wonderful they looked, and just being around people in the same (sinking) boat as me was really eye opening. I have my own reasons for gaining weight. Bullied as a teenager for being underweight; My own insecurities; My father's family history of obesity; My penchant for naughty foods; My lack of motivation to exercise. <br /><br />I haven't really had any tragedies that I've come through. I haven't been abused. I haven't been married to a raging alcoholic. I haven't had my family die unexpectedly. I'm a fortunate person. One of the lucky ones. I've faced adversity, and it's been okay.<br /><br />Some of the people that I met had been through these harrowing experiences and were ready to start living again, losing weight for themselves. What the HELL excuse do I have not to?! I'm insane if I think it's okay just to plod along at this weight. A weight where I get out of breath THROWING my dog a ball. Where my back aches if I walk further than a mile. Where I can HEAR my knees cracking as I walk down the stairs... It's disgraceful.<br /><br />So, ladies and gentlemen of blog land, I'm back on the treadmill of weight loss. It's going to be slow. It's going to be hard. But I promised myself I'm worth it, and I am going to DO IT!<br /><br />I'm 316 lbs now... That's bad.<br /><br />Fatty xFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-78136423031097741212010-01-14T10:50:00.002-06:002010-01-14T11:05:41.825-06:00Dress shoppingYo.<br /><br />Well, it's been 4 days since I last blogged, and I am pleased to report that I have drop just over a pound! Woo! This morning I weighed 306.0 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!!! So that's 1.6 lbs lost since my last weigh in, and 8lbs lost overall!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#33cc00;">8LBS!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Oh, it feels good to write it sooo big! Haha! </span><br /><br />I never realised how much *real* encouragement could mean to me, until this week. Don't get me wrong, people have been "supportive" of my weight loss in the past, but it's always been very superficial. Many people just don't know what a journey weight loss is. The feeling that you're bigger than you should be. The acknowledgment that, actually, this is your fault. The relization that you can fix it. The eventual understanding that, as easy as it was to gain, the weight's going to be a b*tch to get off. And the final step -- losing weight. When people who haven't gone through that are supportive, it's nice. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy. When someone who has been through it, and understands every single part of the "system" offers you support and help, it's more than "nice". It's inspiring. This week my close friend took the time to send me recipes and, what I call, a "plan of understanding" to help me get to my destination. She knows what it's like to lose weight, and her help is wonderful to me. I don't think that people always realize the impact they can have on someone else's life...<br /><br />When I look back at pictures of me when I was younger, I see a person that I'm unfamiliar with. I see an underweight girl. A girl who's body was late to develop as a result. A girl who thought she was fat. Later, as I started to develop a more healthy weight for a woman of my height (5'11) I see photos of a well proportioned, pretty girl. A girl who thought she was huge. Even photos from a few years ago, when people felt that they had the right to tell me how I 'needed to lose weight', I look at now and see a girl who is, at most, a little chubby for her height. It makes me wonder why I let people define me so much over the years. And then I remember that people still do define me, and that what people think about me is a huge concern. I need to get over that.<br /><br />It's one of the reasons that I'm dreading dress shopping today. I have to get a dress for a dance I'm off to, and a dress for my sister's graduation. I want to buy a pretty dress and look lovely in it. I'm going to end up buying a black stretch-polyester number that glides over the lumps and bumps I want to hide. I'm dreading it. But I'm hopeful that I'll look acceptable. I'll let you know how it goes.<br /><br />Me xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-26122886116467869672010-01-10T09:20:00.003-06:002010-01-14T10:50:44.032-06:00Sunday morning.Morning everyone!<br /><br />I woke up pretty late this morning, and am not feeling too hot. Full of a cold which sucks. It's making me very thoughtful about what to have for breakfast. Porridge or shredded wheat? Hmmm...<br /><br />This afternoon we are off to a friend's house to watch the football and we have to take a dish to share. I normally handmake something, but that's DANGEROUS! I make super delicious triple fudge chocolate cake, and cherry bakewells, and all sorts of naughty goodies. Today I'm thinking about taking some of the naughty food that already exists in my house. Novel idea. Normally I'd just eat it by myself over the space of a couple of days. That can't be good! It feels so odd to take premade stuff with me, but I think that finding my "discomfort zone" and learning how to feel okay in it is a part of this journey.<br /><br />I'm also thinking about how to attack exercise. I have a friend who would like to exercise with me at a gym. That would be awesome! My only fear is, of course, what people will think when they see a heffalump sweating over a machine... it's going to be ugly! I'd like to find a gym that is quite quiet, and not too expensive. I don't know how realistic that is, but I'll give it a shot! I'll let you know how I go!<br /><br />I think I've opted for shredded wheat... xFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-15788085759956324492010-01-08T08:26:00.002-06:002010-01-08T08:34:18.667-06:00Oh expletives...Well, clearly I have failed. It is now January 8th, 2010. I have not dieted since my last blog, back in September...<br /><br />Nothing like a new year to give you a new opportunity to try again, right?!<br /><br />So here I am! Standing tall at a whopping 307.6... Booooo! At least it's still several pounds from where I started!!! So, let's put it in big pretty letters and make me feel better about myself!!! Haha! It's the little things!!!!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#33ff33;">6.4 lbs down!!!!!</span><br /><br />I'm going to ignore the fact that this is actually weight gained since my last blog, because I should still be proud of the fact that I'm not as big as I was. And you know, for people our size, it's important to celebrate every step in the right direction. I need to remember that. I know that on this weight loss journey there will be weeks when I work hard yet lose nothing. There will be weeks when I feel that I haven't done as much as I could and yet I'll still lose. There will be weeks when I don't want to diet any more. At those times I need to come back to this blog and celebrate.<br /><br />Why do I keep kidding myself? Why do I keep thinking it's going to be an easy ride? IT'S NOT! But I'm going to do it! Keep following me, friends! We can do this!<br /><br />Me xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-24596012797241219172009-09-05T07:15:00.002-05:002009-09-05T07:20:43.576-05:00It's not all bad news after all!I thought this week would be a disasterous weigh in, due to my naughtiness here and there, and the palava of last week! Buuuuut...<br /><br />298.4...<br /><br />That's not bad you know! I lost almost a pound!! It's still a bit disappointing, but it's actually rather inspiring!<br /><br />This entry is a bit short I'm afraid but we are trecking down to see my grandmother-in-law in the hospital.

I knew I wasn't going to be able to stick to my diet, so on Sunday I just relaxed and ate whatever took my fancy, without trying to analyze the nutritional content. It was luuuuuuush. But then yesterday there were leftovers, and I thought "oooh, it would be such a shame to just throw all that food away", so I ate it. This morning, I have yet to eat breakfast. It's 10am, and I'm starving. BUT I'm trying to figure out... am I going to eat diet friendly food, or something naughty? I don't think I have anything naughty left -- I asked my husband to throw away all the yummy bits that were left over last night. He did. THANK GOODNESS. Why can't I trust myself with delicious fooooods?<br /><br />On the plus side, I have realised that writing this blogs does keep me accountable. Just sitting here typing has made me think of all the reasons why I need to stick at it. I need to do this. I'm 27 years old, and I really just want to be healthy, to walk the stairs at school and not feel breathless by the top, to wear the cute clothes that the models are wearing in the shop windows.<br /><br />Okay. Off to make something healthy for breakfast! Yay! Thanks for setting me on the straight and narrow! I hope I can just keep at it...<br /><br />Mwwwwaaaah xxxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-91235764142391253572009-08-29T07:32:00.002-05:002009-08-29T07:42:19.845-05:00Alright...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Guten</span> Morgen!<br /><br />Today was my weekly weigh in. This week I have felt like I've been starving myself. Yesterday I forgot to eat lunch, and by the evening my tummy was letting me know. That's why I was disappointed by this weeks weigh in...<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;">299 lbs...</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I mean</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">WOOOO</span>!

I know I should be thrilled. That's a good amount of weight to lose in one week, but the last two weeks I've been so impressed with my big losses, and this week feels like a lot less, you know?<br /><br />Mind you, when I type it like THIS:<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">15lbs</span> <span style="color:#33ff33;">lost</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">in</span> <span style="color:#33ff33;">FOUR</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">WEEKS!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br />That looks better :)<br /><br />I'm off to get my <span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffcc33;"><strong>first milestone prize!</strong></span> My new electronic scales!

Why am I not thrilled? I reached my first milestone this morning! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">YAY</span>!!! (I'm trying to be ecstatic, I really am!) I suppose that in my head I've decided to lose weight, and I don't know why my body hasn't done it all. A month's a long time! That's what my heart is saying. Then there's my head, saying stupid annoying things like "it took you 27 years to put it on, it's not going to come off overnight". I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">KNOWWWW</span>!!!! I just want it to!!!<br /><br />Fingers crossed that I'll snap out of this attitude. It's this attitude that's lead to my downfall on diets in the past. I don't want that to happen this time.<br /><br />I'll let you know how I go.

I had 8 hours of really good uninterrupted sleep, after a stressful week, and what promises to be a stressful weekend, and woke up to the joy that is my neeeeew weight!<br /><br />(drumrolllllll please!) 314 lbs original weight<br /><br />- 2 lbs from the first week<br /><br />- 6 lbs from the second week<br /><br />- 5 lbs from the third week<br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">= 301 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">I'm 13 lbs doooooown!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">How excited am I? VEEEEERY excited! Looks like next weekend my first prize is going to kick in, and I'll get that scale I've been dreaming about!!! </span><br /><br />I was supposed to be flying to San Francisco this weekend, but with the current grandma-in-law situation I had to cancel. I am going to try to make it towards the end of the week. I'm scared about the plane seat factor though -- I booked first class tickets for the way there so that I had extra room, but the way back I could only get coach and was in the middle seat of a row of three. That was causing me a lot of anxiety, and I hope when I get to rebook I can get an aisle or window seat so I can wedge my butt in and throw myself against the unoccupied side. I always wonder if the person coming over to sit next to me takes a look at me and thinks "ooooh craaaaap"... I'm more than a little paranoid about that. But I really wanted to go to San Francisco, and if I can reschedule my flight I'll deal with the paranoia.<br /><br />Over all though, I'm pretty excited. I've realised how dedicated I am to this diet, and I'm not doing anything to ruin it yet! Wow! That's a bit of a first to be honest!!! Once I get below 300, I'm never going back over it! So bring on the challenge of this week... 290s here I come!<br /><br />Love and smooches,<br /><br />FS xxxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-78439060721819999722009-08-15T08:23:00.004-05:002009-08-15T08:27:52.171-05:00GOOD morning!<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wasssssup</span>? I am clearly VERY excited this morning. I had my weigh in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">annnnnd</span><br /><br />*Drum roll please*<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">306 lbs!!!!!!</span><br /><br />I've dropped <span style="color:#33cc00;"><span style="font-size:130%;">6 lbs in a week!</span>!!</span> AWESOME!<br /><br />I feel FANTASTIC! I can't believe it! I'm concerned that this weekend isn't going to be fabulous eating wise. My Grandmother-in-law (M) had a stroke yesterday and we are making the 4 hour journey down to see her, and will eat with the family wherever we go. I do not begrudge this at all (obviously) -- it's a really sad situation. Eating wise -- <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">hmmm</span>, I'm a comfort eater. Something tells me that next week's weight loss isn't going to be quite as significant, but I have hope. If there is one thing that M would want, it's for us all to be happy and healthy. Being a fatty doesn't fall in to either of those categories.<br /><br />Sorry this is so brief, but we have to get going.<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bisous</span> xxxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-74405725597081000262009-08-11T09:39:00.003-05:002009-08-11T09:48:36.450-05:00Uh ohThis weekend was not fabulous.

We had the family reunion, and Aunt-in-law made her famous cherry cheesecake... uh <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ohhh</span>... boy, was it <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">deeeelish</span>! But I picked myself up and started again...<br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">2lbs down! <span style="font-size:100%;color:#009900;">(current weight 312)</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Weee</span>! Although, frankly, I'd rather have lost a LOT more. A week in the life of a crappy dieter feels like an eternity, and feeling HUNGRY is a foreign, and as yet UNPLEASANT experience. I suppose I'll get used to it -- I suppose I have to, and HOPEFULLY that feeling will disappear as I just get used to eating less. </span></span><span style="color:#000000;">Will it? WILL IT?! It had better... or else...</span><br /><br />So I had an interview last week and forgot my suit. On the way down to the interview I had to buy a new suit, which I haven't had to do for a while... I did not like the numbers on the size tag! I normally buy tops and jeans with a little stretch to them... suits don't stretch. I've been kidding myself and buying tops in a 16/18 size, and jeans in my special "3 blue circle" or "4 red triangle" size, and a little weight fluctuation is okay, because they stretch with you. I am now convinced that spandex is the work of the Weight Gain Demon... You know, that little devil guy sitting on your shoulder, convincing you to have that slice of cherry cheesecake... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Grrrrrr</span>... "Just <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">eeeeat</span> it, your pants will still fit"... Well. That little dude has led to me having a size 24 bottom in a suit skirt, and a 22 top in the jacket. I HATE YOU, YOU DEMON!!!!!!! How do I get rid of him?!?!?!!!!<br /><br />So, here I sit, in my stretchy black and white top (black is slimming, right?), and my crazy numbered jeans, typing away and feeling the burn (aka HUNGER). I'll keep at it, stick with me!!!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">FS</span> xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-5624630083335419632009-08-04T19:59:00.002-05:002009-08-04T20:04:26.844-05:00Blood workHelloooo,<br /><br />Well, today I had my blood work done, and I'm not doing too badly for a big lady! My HDL is slightly low, but my normal cholesterol and glucose levels were optimal! Plus my blood pressure was awesome! 118/72! Wooo!<br /><br />And, with it being only day three of the diet, I can officially say that I'm feeling pretty good! Yesterday was a HORRIBLE headache day -- getting rid of all that sugar is HARD!!!!! But then no one said it was going to be easy!!<br /><br />I do need to step up the exercise though, that's not really happening yet, and we allll know that exercise PLUS diet is the key to weightloss!<br /><br />See ya xx<br /><br />P.S. On Sunday I weighed in at 314. Highest I've ever weighed... I have a plane seat to squeeze in to by the end of August, and I'm GOING TO GET BELOW 300 FOR IT!!!!!!

My head hurts A LOT!!!! I think it's clear that my usual love of sugary snacks is going to cause a problem -- I've cut out artificial sugar all together, so my body is VERY confused!.<br /><br />I went to a wedding on Saturday night (one of the reasons behind starting my diet on Sunday) and ate SIX COURSES!! They were all delicious. It was also a great way to kick off my diet, because I woke up on Sunday feeling full (still), and the thought of more food made me want to puke. But, there is NO BAD FOOD in my house AT ALL. Ergo, should I feel the urge to cheat on my diet, I would have to go out to the shops. That's a lot of effort for snack food. Here's hoping the concept works!<br /><br />The plan is not to tell anyone that I'm dieting. I'm hoping when I next see my parents (at Christmas) they will be amazed at my weight loss, and be super impressed. So really there are only three people who know. Except for anyone else reading this blog!<br /><br />I took photos yesterday, so when the weight starts falling, I'll post some anonymous photos!<br /><br />Right, I'm off to experience some hunger!<br /><br />Toodles xxFatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-59759117767904195002009-07-27T14:35:00.003-05:002009-07-27T15:11:25.790-05:00Check in...I'm no longer convinced that ridding my house of non-diet friendly food prior to diet commencement by EATING it was a good idea.<br /><br />It sounded so sensible at the time. Save a trip to the grocery store, eat the naughty food already in the cupboards, munch on the emergency frozen pizza...<br /><br />Throughout the course of the past year, I have accumulated rather a lot of naughties. And I am not prepared to throw them away, instead I devour them day by day, waiting for pay day, at which point I will go shopping and purchase only non-naughties. I PROMISE.<br /><br />In advance of Diet Day (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">henceforth</span> known as "D-Day") I have been figuring out an exercise plan. I have a lovely dog who would love nothing more than a little stint <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">around</span> the block. Also, I've managed to accumulate an (almost free) personal gym! A year and a half ago I bought an elliptical cross trainer machine, and since then I have acquired a treadmill, ski machine, resistance trainer, rowing machine, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd</span> a stationary bike. I'm going to be H.O.T.!!! AND I have a normal, every day, run of the mill, pedal-powered bike.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, D-Day is SUNDAY. THIS SUNDAY. Sure, many people would have started dieting the day they said "that's it". <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Suuuure</span>, I work a little differently to most people, but I'm fairly sure that that's what makes me interesting. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Suuuuuuuuuuuuure</span>...<br /><br />With 6 days left until D-Day, I'm starting to wonder about the logic of my plan... I think I'm going to have extra to lose. I suppose I will be able to let you know that on Sunday. That's the only day of the week that I'm allowing myself to weigh in.<br /><br />I'm also finalising the details of my "reward scheme". I know what I want for the rewards, I'm trying to officially figure out what weight I want to get to, and how many "mini goals" there are going to be. Of course I'll let you know once it's official.<br /><br />Anyway, have an awesome day, and in the immortal words of my best friend "In the immortal words of Arnie"... I'll be back.Fatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320446888273178322.post-34217825987948373302009-07-23T18:15:00.003-05:002009-07-23T18:40:56.212-05:00Open letter to me.Dear F.S.<br /><br />In case you didn't notice. You're rather large.<br /><br />Not just a little bit porky, actually. You're fat.<br /><br />That trickery that The Fat Lady Store is pulling on you isn't any good. You are NOT a size 4. The little blue circle sitting next to that number four is your own personal asterisk. Size 4 *not really. Be honest. You're verging in to size 24 on the bottom. And go ahead, keep buying those size 16 tops, but who are you trying to fool? Your boobs and muffin top don't plan to be leashed for very long. Days of yanking your sweater down over the top of your jeans only to have to pull it up to keep your bazookas a little PG rather than R, are your own personal reminder of your previous indiscretions. Namely ice cream; chocolate; any form of potato; chinese take out; the list goes on...<br /><br />You're fearful when you get on the Doctor's bed that it will collapse under you (it's okay, it can bear up to 500 lbs, I asked). You don't want to sit next to anyone on the plane because you're embarrassed that they might ask for the portion of the seat that they paid for, that you are occupying. You don't go to bars, because you are convinced people are talking about you. You don't get involved in sports, because you're quite certain that you'll do something stupid, and people will put it down to weight, rather than just simply bad coordination.<br /><br />So, Miss Fatty Boom Boom, let's get on with it. Why are you fat? Because you don't have enough self discipline. Because you eat too much. It's no use blaming anyone or anything else. You're a big girl now (excuse the pun), and you need to do this on your own.<br /><br />When you feel the need to eat something, ask yourself "why?"<br /><br />It’s not good enough to eat something just because it tastes good. It’s not okay to eat something because you’re bored.<br /><br />Just remember, the next time you think of snacking some chips, or indulging in a cake...<br /><br />You want to wear a beautiful dress to some of the parties that you get invited to. You want to be stunning. You want to go and get your nails done and have your hair done up nicely, and know that in doing it you look STUNNING. Not just dolloping some fancy make up and hair do on a woman who just. doesn't. look. beautiful.<br /><br />You want to go out to the bar without thinking that everyone is looking to you and laughing.<br /><br />You want to go and get a massage. DESPERATELY. But you won’t. Because you don’t want a poor masseuse to have to run her hands through the rolls of your flab.<br /><br />Why do you have to sit on the sidelines at volleyball? Be honest! It’s because you don’t want people to laugh at your weight flopping around. If a slim person falls over, it’s because they had an accident. If you fall over, it’s because you’re fat and uncoordinated.<br /><br />You want to go to normal shops to buy clothes. Size 4 (blue dot) shouldn’t be the be all and end all for a lady’s fashion.<br /><br />It’s not easy to get thin. It’s taken 27 years of your life to get this fat, don’t expect it to happen overnight. In fact, right now your immediate goal has to be this simple: Becoming able to make your chin touch your sternum... Wow. When did it get this bad?<br /><br />So, current weight 311 lbs. Goal weight 180 lbs.<br /><br />Things I want to do once I get down to 180:<br />Buy a nice pair of designer jeans<br />Go to a bar with your friends until LATE<br />Go to the 2 balls that you have available to you in the winter, AND buy a gorgeous dress, and get your hair and nails done for it.<br />Go to a theme park and not worry that your butt is going to hang over the edge, or you won't be able to get the safety bar down.<br />Go swimming. In public. In a bathing suit.<br /><br />Good luck to you. Keep track of your progress.<br /><br />I have faith in you!!Fatty Slimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14939806522866519790noreply@blogger.com0
