Weight Loss Support ~ September-October 07

[Bloom]

Ahh sisters! So complicated! I say don't compare yourself to family becuase although we are family everyone has their own battle to fight and family doesn't neccessarily know what you are battling.

I reckon i've got the inverse problem - my sister has been unwell on and off with bipolar and she is trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to lose weight. So I'm semi worried (unconsciously?) that if I lose weight it will put her into a downward spin (she goes down when good things happen to me like getting married, graduating etc). But i'm trying to let go of it and live my own life.

Ngala - i know you know it - but someone needs to remind you - don't keep cookies in the house if there is a risk of overindulgence! If I absolutely need to buy chocolate or something morish like that (cause I can't control my eating) I keep it in the garage which is 1 flight of stair away and outside from our unit. I'm lazier than I am greedy, so i can't be bothered getting it! LOL! Enjoy your workout though! More muslce burns more calories!

I just got an upsetting email from some friends criticising me for something, so I hope that I can manage not to go home and pig out by comfort eating (even if the yummiest thing at home is bread and peanut butter - that still does major damage to my diet!).

Forgot 2 add sum of my exercise yesterday, I LOVE 2 window shop! (only coz i can't afford 2 buy anthing, DH is on an apprentice wage!) I spend a whole day walking up and down the shopping centre when I am there twice a week coz it's a waste of petrol 4 me 2 come home then go n pick DH up from the train station (20 min drive each way n the shops r next 2 the train station!) This Shopping centre is almost a km from 1 end 2 the other! as the weigh in i did last was yesterday i think i will wait till next monday 2 do it again.

HI,

don't beat yourselves up about being different. the main thing is we are all here to help each other reach our individual goals. Last time I lost weight I lost 15 kg's and it took 2 years and getting married lol to get the job done.

Everyone here sounds like they have the drive and the motivation to reach their goals.

right now, I feel really hungry, so I've decided some cheese crackers won't kill me. Nut I think I'm going to struggle as I need to snack 'cause of the breast feeding, but I don't often have any healthy snack food around.

I'm the sort of person that needs pushing too, please anyone feel free to shame me if i've been bad. I promise to confess my sins.
